About However Imperfectly

Welcome to, However Imperfectly where homeschooling and homemaking intersect. This space 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 to sort each day.

I am, Joy Cherrick. I’m a homeschool mom of seven with ages ranging from toddlers to teenagers. I hope you find encouragement as we explore the ideas of Charlotte Mason in the context of our modern homes.

Mason provides the principles for living and learning with our children that offers education unlike the one we received and 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.”

Does this sound like something you’re after too? Join me as we dig into these ideas together and look for ways to make them practical.
