Children need to eat at regular intervals. They seem to grow grumpy when not fed on time or in a regular rhythm.
As a young mother, I knew this to be true, however, I found myself always surprised by how quickly the meals came. For each meal, I’d scramble together what we had. I was not a “planner” nor was I sure how to manage the home in a way that would make this part of the day seamless.
Once I had three small children with one on the way, I knew it was time to apply my creative energy toward feeding my family well. Instead of being surprised, I developed a plan. Instead of being frazzled, I cultivated peace. You can too.

Welcome to, However Imperfectly where homeschooling and homemaking intersect. This podcast is for the homeschool mom who desires to educate her children with a rich Charlotte Mason education, and also has meals to put on the table and laundry sort each day. I am your host, Joy Cherrick.
I hope you find encouragement as we explore the ideas of Charlotte Mason in the context of our modern homes. Mason provides the playbook for living and learning with our children that not only gives us an education unlike the one we received, but a full life together. We don’t have time for the latest educational fad. We need time-tested tools to help us raise and educate our children in truth, beauty, and goodness. I'm sure you will come to find, as I have, “that the education we are giving, however imperfectly, exceeds all that we intended or imagined.”
