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.

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.
