Naturalist Kids Podcast

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 to 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 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.”

When Cinderella's fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a carriage - she did more than just help the servant girl get to a ball… The pumpkin, at the time Charles Perrault wrote down his version of Cinderella, was synonymous with poor, common people. It was the food of peasants. But how did the pumpkin end up in pies at Thanksgiving or carved into Jack-O-Lanterns? I'm Joy Cherrick. I write about natural history, folklore and exploring how people have interacted with God's creation through time. On Naturalist Kids Podcast, we bring many of the forgotten stories of nature to life to encourage you in your quest to learn more about this great world. We'll tell you the stories behind why a black cat crossing your path is bad luck. Why the pumpkin is the staple of a Thanksgiving feast. And why a mother cottontail rabbit is hardly ever found near her nest of kits. In each episode, I am joined by one of my six children. In our first episode, we are going to tell you about Native American's, Pilgrims, Cinderella and how many types of flowers the pumpkin vine creates in order to get a pumpkin.
