welcome friend!

My name is Crystal and we’ve been homeschooling since 2014!

We’re disciples of Christ and are passionate about family, education, adventures and living books…

I'm the creator of Simple Studies, an award-winning, Charlotte Mason–inspired homeschool curriculum used by thousands of homeschooling families around the world. Simple Studies blends my love of living books with subjects like natural history, world history, science, geography, poetry, and more — bringing joy, wonder, and intention back into everyday learning. I truly believe good literature and strong families could save the world!

Each Simple Studies guide offers K-12 students and families simple, comprehensive lessons using living books — complete with comprehensive book lists, narration prompts, discussion questions, helpful printables (zero busywork), diagrams, coloring pages for Pre-K students to use during read alouds, and nature journaling guidance. Depending on the study, you'll also find poetry, songs, illustrations, copywork, maps, links to videos and helpful resources, simple projects, drills, and more.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and relocated to Florida in 2024 so my children can chase their dreams. Being a homeschool advocate is one of my greatest joys, and I love helping children slow down to observe and ponder God's creations.

When we're not at the table with our books, you can usually find our family out hiking, identifying birds, reading together, playing sports, or serving the Lord through our creative, entrepreneurial adventures.

Thank you for considering Simple Studies — blessings to you and your family!
