Do you ever let your kiddos choose the order of their school day?I find that sometimes still is the best way to keep arguments at bay. I lay everything across the coffee table and he ordered them.

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 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. 😆

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.
