If you're a new homeschooler, I can only imagine the confusion you must have choosing what to do with your kids.  The younger they are, the less structured you can be.

Summer fun but also School year planning

Summer fun but also School year planning

Allison Crowe
This summer has been cruising on by.  Like every summer, I have great intensions to make sure my kids don't "forget" anything over the summer so we read and do math and do projects and limit screens.  Yeah right.  LOL.

The Dirt on Spring (or anytime) Cleaning + Products

The Dirt on Spring (or anytime) Cleaning + Products

Allison Crowe Clean Home
Confession: I had created this blog post months ago, but I wasn't in a "cleaning mood".  I am now because we have cleaners coming today to do a deep cleaning in a "cleaning mood" as much as I ever will be! So I have been decluttering (and some purging) the last few weeks.

Spring Break!

We never have taken an official "Spring Break" because I have felt as homeschoolers we take breaks when we need them...

What Do Our Days Look Like?

Allison Crowe
It's important to plan.  I may not always follow my plan, but I need to have one.  If I don't plan out my week on Friday afternoon after we've finished up for the week (and sometimes I'm too pooped to do so!), then I must plan Sunday afternoon or evening.

Reflections on our "break week"

Reflections on our "break week"

Allison Crowe
Our week "off" or change up week, went by too fast.  I think we will have to do them more often!  We watched Torchlighter's Corrie Ten Boom, watched Mathtacular, read Percy Jackson, made Challah bread.  It was a good -sort of- relaxing week for us, at the very least it was less stressful and less complaining!  LOL

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.
