Meal Planning in the Crowe Household

Meal Planning in the Crowe Household
I love meal planning  and I know I make it hard on myself. What don’t I just choose 3 beef, 2-3 chicken, a fish/shrimp and have homemade bbq chicken pizza for dinners? And alternate eggs, waffles/pancakes, oatmeal and bagels for breakfast and left overs or salad/soup/sandwiches for lunches? And be done with it.

How Do you Homeschool on Little or No Sleep?

How Do you Homeschool on Little or No Sleep?
How do you homeschool on little or no sleep?
I was up until past 1am last night prepping for a vendor event at our co op today. Printer issues. Ugh.
Thankfully I had prepped well on Sunday. But other things that helped:
✅no math lesson needed to be taught, just corrections from the review and he need to take a test
✅we completed the Key Word Outlines for his paper due Friday. So all he needs to do write his rough draft over the next couple days
✅Fix It Grammar is always on the short side
✅history read aloud is the most “teacher led” work I needed to do today
Now to muster the energy for our homeschool hike!





Bean Bags on the Sofa

I’m not sure why but he threw them in there and then proceeded to jump on them. 🤷‍♀️ This is why our sofas don’t last!

Day in the Life of a 6th Grader

Day in the Life of a 6th Grader
How do your homeschool days look?

Being that Keegan just had a sneezing fit (allergies) and is taking a cat nap, I thought I’d lay out our day today. While I like to start at 9am, it’s usually closer to 10:30. 😆

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.
