Homeschooling…socialization?
I have recently been asked about socialization. Is this really still a thought/fear of those who don’t homeschool? 🤔

Seven days week my boys are with other kids/adults for regularly activities: volleyball, baseball, golf, Pickleball, weight lifting at the gym, hiking group, co op classes, community college, life guarding, umping, helping with autistic kids, helping out at Awana, youth group, camping with friends, church and Sunday school. This may sound really busy but it doesn’t feel that way, thankfully because I have a driver who takes himself to work, college classes, the gym, baseball practice and takes his younger brother to volleyball practice. So that’s a lot off my plate. 😅

And someone said to me a few weeks ago, well it’s good they are in college class so they can be around other people. Huh? I had to explain that I look forward to days where I can be home for that day, even if I’m out for sports in the evening.

Tell me. Do those who don’t homeschool still think we sit at home daily and teach our kids every subject?

My biggest thing is energy and organization. 🤣 bed early to get up early to have some uninterrupted time to myself. How can I help others if I don’t take care of myself? What are your super mom secrets?🙌🏻

From Computer Programmer to Health and Wellness Educator

 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Allison, momma to Jackson, Connor, Brady, and Keegan, married to Peter. We live in a Philly suburb here in Pennsylvania. Our life is beautiful and crazy, but we love each other, despite all the wrestling matches my boys host. We’re definitely a work in progress.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started out at Villanova for accounting, but soon found myself as a computer programmer creating websites in the mid-’90s. That lasted a few years before I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and I’ve never looked back!

In my 20s, I struggled with endometriosis, which began my journey into health and wellness—my true passion. I even blogged about eliminating an ovarian cyst through fasting! Now, I have a strong desire to help others by sharing my story and showing there's a better way.

Fast forward to my first son, Jackson. When he was a toddler, he decided to spray Shower Power in his mouth! Let’s just say Poison Control and I were good friends back then. Although I started my journey in the '90s with food, I didn’t fully connect the dots between cleaning chemicals and health until much later.

Today, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom of one teen, a college mom, and I’ve just recently seen my two oldest boys get married! We also have two adorable mini poodles—our "girls"—to balance out the boy chaos. Homeschooling only one might seem simpler, but I’m busier than ever, balancing life and staying connected with my older boys.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my love for natural health, fitness, and homeschooling. Fresh milled flour has become a recent passion of mine. I love baking and with all the poorly processed flours out there, it’s no wonder so many are gluten-sensitive. I’m far from perfect!

I’m passionate about empowering moms, especially homeschool moms over 35 with lively children, so they can take charge of their family's health.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
