About Me

I enjoy reading, learning things, and watching my children grow and learn, which makes being a home educator a good fit for me.
If I could live anywhere in the world, I would. I’ve lived in seven U.S. states (and have had a drivers license in six of them) and in all four time zones in the contiguous United States. It seems like it’s about time to start collecting time zones in other countries.
I dream of one day being able to hold a conversation in a language other than English. I’m really close in Spanish; all I need is to find the courage to speak to a Spanish-speaking person in Spanish, and something to say to them (I’ve already done “¿Donde está el baño?” but find it’s not usually a conversation opener).
About Imperfect Happiness
I started Imperfect Happiness in July 2010, when I began my year-long Happiness Project (inspired by Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project). After the project was done, I just kept on blogging.
Today, Imperfect Happiness is a combination of book-related posts (“Bookends” and “My Year in Books” monthly and annual recaps, book reviews, Cavalcade of Classics) and personal reflections on homeschooling, being a mother, and life in general, both the day-to-day and from a broader, philosophical perspective.
Check out the menu links and the Featured Posts on the home page for more of what Imperfect Happiness has to offer.
You can also find me on Litsy, The Storygraph, LibraryThing, Goodreads, and Instagram.
I didn’t know you had a Facebook page! Well, I “liked” it today. 🙂 Hope you had a happy holiday!

I, too, yearn to thru-hike the Appalachian trail. I live near a stretch of it and walk it constantly. It’s wonderful to see it emerge from it’s winter hibernation.

Hello! It’s encouraging (I guess) to hear that your blog, too, has a mind of its own and is “pretty much all over the place.” Today I posted about my blogs two-month birthday : -) and concluded that it’s almost completely lost sight of its original goal. But it is SO MUCH FUN! Yours looks fun as well, and I’ll look forward to exploring. Congrats on the Freshly Pressed.
