      Thank you for your insight. I am constantly trying to pull back on this but all things around us say to increase our activity level. It’s good to hear encouragement about leaving margin.

      Just wanted to share that your website is the only one that I choose to be in my newsfeed. Love your site.

      Like a rich stock, Crystal takes Charlotte Mason’s ideas and simmers them down into an easily digestible form where they are easy to understand and implement. To listen to Crystal speak is to dip from the pot of her hours of research and insight for a very pleasant and practical meal.

      I wasn’t sure what to expect – would it be too far beyond my reach? It wasn’t! Crystal does a good job of making an intentional math lifestyle possible for the average person through examples and her passion for the subject.
