Meal planning with Kids on the Go

Meal planning with Kids on the Go

Allison Crowe
I’m sitting here in my car waiting for my son, Brady, to finish his baseball practice on a rainy Saturday morning. Because I couldn’t leave thinking the practice might end early, I decided I would meal plan in the car.

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?

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"

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

Changing Things Up

A blog. I had a blog for several years in the late 90s/early 00s.  It was a great outlet before Social Media, but after my 2nd son turned 2, I just couldn't keep up with it anymore. Fast forward to now, 2 more sons later!  I figured I'd share what I've learned (and learning) on this motherhood, mom of boys, homeschooling journey.

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.
