Imp3rfect Mom in the News
One thing I’ve recently learned about blogging is it’s about community. I can’t just blog and expect others to come in droves. Daily time set aside to read other blogs and leave comments is an necessary aspect of community. Blogging is about conversation. Remember when your mom said, “It’s nice to share.” Here are a […]
What I’ve Learned From the 2011 Blogathon
Today is the last day of the 2011 Blogathon. I’ve blogged straight for 31 days and have learned a few things. My list is not in any particular order. I’ve learned that blogging every day is just plain hard work, and it’s not as glamorous as I made it my head. However, I give kudos […]
Past Posts: I Hate Christmas Letters
I hate Christmas letters. People who you’ve lost touch with send out these letters with all of their family’s accomplishments and the exotic places they have traveled to. I seem to be left with a feeling of “I’m boring.” One of the reasons why I have such a distaste for those types of letters is […]
Five Favorite Books
Today is one of the theme days on the blogathon. It was suppose to be five favorite writing books but I thought that my choices would be the typical writing classics with a few extras thrown in. (I’ll probably share my fav writing books list in a future post this month.) So instead I decided […]
What I’ve Learned From Blogging So Far
I have been blogging for just about a year but have not been consistent by any means. My first love is writing parenting articles for regional parenting magazines. (See sidebar) As an older mom, it’s fun to come up with ideas to write about to help younger moms streamline their life, provide resources for them […]
Are You Fearful of a New Adventure?
How many ideas have you shoved back inside your head into the dark recesses of your mind? Adventures that you’d like to try but you don’t because of all of the doubts that yell NO. “You won’t be very good at it. You can’t be serious? You’ll fail.” Starting a new business, writing a book, […]

The Happiest Mom Book Giveaway
I’d like Meagan to come live next door to me. Really. It’s my pleasure to introduce Meagan Francis, writer, mom of five and author of the new book, The Happiest Mom: 10 secrets to enjoying motherhood. Are you a little too hard on yourself? Do you grumble often about being a mom? Well, grab a […]
What are my options for today? and book giveaway
It’s just one of those days today. Do you know what I mean? My inbox has been rather quiet. I have some assignments to work on but my deadlines are next month. Everybody else’s blogs look amazing. Other moms seem to be very poetic with their words. Their walk with Jesus seems more real than […]
Here’s My New Website
In the business world, an unveiling of any product should be when the product is complete. It should have all the glitches solved and there shouldn’t be any safety issues. Well, I’m not in the business world. I’m in my motherhood world of messy situations, half-baked stuff and too many dust bunnies. So…with that introduction, […]
