Welcome to The Forrest Life, glad you stopped by!

Hi I’m Allison, wife to Jonathan and mother to 2 beautiful girls.

I love spending time with my family, doing yoga, being outdoors; camping, hiking and exploring (especially new beaches).

My husband, children and I recently moved to Cape Breton Island to be closer to his family. We sold our house, quit our jobs and packed up or possessions. We drove across Canada pulling our trailer and camping a long the way.

We are now rebuilding our life and it’s been quite a journey! We lived in our trailer for 6 months hoping to find our new home to move into. Instead we found our dream land and are preparing to build our home starting the spring of 2023. Should be quite the adventure!

Natural health entered my life after falling in love with yoga in 2008. Not long after that I discovered the beauty of living a more simplified and minimal life. Exploring natural health and simple living is fun and exciting for me. I can’t wait to share my ideas with you.

I am a full-time stay at home mom to my girls as well as a homeschooling mom. I felt called to homeschool the fall of 2021. At this time I gave up my nursing career of almost 20 years. I don’t regret this decision at all. It has been a learning experience and not always easy. I am growing and learning with my kids everyday.
