“Wash on Monday. Iron on Tuesday. Mend on Wednesday. Churn on Thursday. Clean on Friday. Bake on Saturday. Rest on Sunday.” -Little House in the Big Woods.



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.”)
