Author, children's book author, curriculum developer, literacy expert, home educator, wanderluster, mama of four, and podcaster.

For two decades I built brands for myself and others. After selling my portfolio of successful blogs, ecommerce stores, service companies, and subscription boxes, I decided to focus on my passion project - writing children's books and helping struggling readers.

Hello! I'm Krista

So I did what everyone does when they hit mid-life - I graduated Summa Cum Laude with an MSEd in Reading and Literacy Instruction, completed an intensive OG practicum, and developed a literacy curriculum for early and struggling readers.

With 10 years of experience as a home educator, I love to share my expertise in literacy, homeschooling, and homesteading with families around the world.

  • MSED Reading & Literacy Instruction

    I graduated Summa Cum Laude with an MSEd in Reading and Literacy Instruction and completed an intensive Orton-Gillingham 100 hour practicum in late 2024.

  • Children's Books & Curriculum

    I write children's books for underrepresented groups as well as decodables for early readers. My curriculum is built around how children learn and retain information - whole-child learning and cognitive load theory.

  • Travel

    Outside books, literacy and homeschooling, I love traveling, especially with my children. We have been to 47 states, 38 National Parks and endless national monuments, national forests, state parks and world-class museums. You can learn more about our travels here.
