Welcome to Day 8 of the 14 Day Reset!
The snow has definitely made things interesting for homeschooling and our reset journey! With school pausing for sledding breaks and friends coming over to join in on the fun, we've had our share of winter adventures! Shoveling snow, dealing with icy conditions, and even squeezing in some basketball games, we've been keeping active and getting our movement in. However, we must admit, getting all of our lessons done has been a bit challenging. But hey, homeschoolers deserve some snow days too, right?


Now, let's talk about our food update. We're happy to report that we've been sugar-free, with the exception of Keegan's apple maple sausage in his omelette yesterday. We're not only staying away from basic sugars and high fructose corn syrup, but also honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. On these snowy days, soups and "stews" have been our go-to meals. Although we're not big fans of chili, we've found that bean-less chili, like taco soup, is a hit for our family.

When it comes to incorporating Ningxia into our routine, it's been the easiest for me because I absolutely love it! Keegan, on the other hand, doesn't share the same enthusiasm, but he's been taking it anyway. However, water intake has been a bit of a struggle for him. He hasn't been able to meet the recommended amount of water intake. For me, I fill four water bottles or cups first thing in the morning with THM sippers (herbal tea and lemon juice), Mineral Drink, and 32 oz of plain water. If I manage to finish all my water, I might treat myself to some sparkling water, but usually, I don't have enough room or time for any more liquid! Bed time wake ups are not my favorite!! I need to learn to finish my water within an hour after dinner. But unusually still have 1-2 water bottles left!


It's been an eventful week, and we're proud of the progress we're making on our wellness journey. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue on our 14-day reset challenge. Are you ready to join us? There is one very month and it’s typically the second Monday.

Allison

 
Hey there! I’m Allison, a homeschool mom of 4 boys, married to Peter. Three of my boys have graduated, and I still have one in high school. 

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life here is beautiful, a little loud, and full of wrestling matches. We’re definitely a work in progress, and that’s real life.

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

I started at Villanova studying accounting, then ended up working as a computer programmer building websites in the mid-’90s. A few years later, I became a stay-at-home mom and never looked back.

My wellness journey began in my 20s when I struggled with endometriosis. It opened my eyes to how much our daily choices matter. 

I started with food, then slowly learned more about what supports a healthier home and body.

That journey grew into a passion for helping other moms see they don’t need to do it all. They can start small and grow.

When my oldest was little, he once sprayed Shower Power in his mouth. Let’s just say Poison Control and I were a little too familiar back then. 

That moment stuck with me.

Even though I had already started making changes with food, it took me longer to connect the dots between cleaning products, toxins, and everyday wellness.

These days, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom, college mom, and now a mom whose two oldest boys are married. We also have two girl poodles, and they help balance out all the boy energy around here. 

I love teaching about real life wellness, simple swaps, fitness, and homeschooling. I also love whole foods, exercise, pickleball, and reminding moms they need some alone time before starting the homeschool day. 

You can’t teach from an empty cup. 

Fresh milled flour has also become a big passion of mine. I love baking from freshly ground grain, and I believe a lot of what bothers people is the processing, not just the gluten itself.

I’m passionate about helping homeschool moms 35 and up create a calm, fun, organized home, reduce toxins, and feel more confident about what really matters. You got this. Let’s take it one step at a time.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
