About Us
We are a group of women who share one common trait: we are all “works in progress.” We met on a blog about a television show, but stayed to chat about anything and everything of interest to us. Imperfect Women grew out of our desire to provide a place for others to chat about their own interest and share their stories. Feel free to agree, disagree, and “agree to disagree.” Welcome to our little corner of the internet!
Meet the Staff
Jennie jennie@imperfectwomen.com
Jennie is a carbon based life form who has been residing on the west coast of North America for the past 39 years. She has diverse likes, such as caramel, cuddly baby mammals and naps, and equally diverse dislikes, such as windsocks, celery and stupid people who think they are smart. She has not yet achieved perfection, owing to a crooked pinky finger on her left hand and a wealth of personality flaws, including, but not limited to, a tendency to self-indulge.
Anya anya@imperfectwomen.com
Anya was born in the eventful year of 1968 and resides in northern California with her teenage daughter. Although she likes cats and works in Human Resources, she vehemently denies any resemblance to the evil HR director in the comic strip “Dilbert.” Likes: burritos, black coffee and The New Yorker magazine. Dislikes: smoking, mayonnaise and self-important busybodies who tell others how to live their lives. What makes her an Imperfect Woman: a decided lack of patience.
Samantha samantha@imperfectwomen.com
Samantha is a former pre-school teacher turned freelance writer/editor. Her faith in God is a fundamental part of her life. She is married to an incredible man who can fix anything and has a knack for knowing exactly where she put her keys, sunglasses, car etc. They have an amazing little girl who asks daily for a little brother (or a dog) but thus far has had to settle for the goldfish of the month. They live on the coast of beautiful North Carolina. Samantha is extremely forgetful and is anxiously awaiting the day when others find it “endearing” and “quirky”. She has the nose of a bloodhound, a major fear of bees, and a strong aversion to mayonnaise.
Ann ann@imperfectwomen.com
Ann is a forty-five year old wife and mother with a background in education. She lives on the east coast with her husband and teen-aged children. She enjoys reading, gardening, and other people’s cooking. Ann is directionally-challenged, cannot go through toll booths, and avoids left turns.
Lily lily@imperfectwomen.com
Closer to 50 than 40, Lily lives in the Midwest with her young daughter, their dogs and cats. She believes a t-shirt with scrub pants should be the uniform of the world. Being accident prone and more than a little scatter-brained are the imperfections that try her family and friends. She relishes her alone time, but they will tell she’s gotten “talky” since she became a sahm. Lily has a technical background and enjoys getting outdoors, gardening, and researching topics of interest.
Nancy nancy@imperfectwomen.com
When this 40-year-old wife and mom isn’t running after her toddler, working on a “project” at home or nagging her hubby to write his schedule on the family calendar, she is at the office. Nancy is a magazine editor and freelances for various publications, newspapers and institutions in her city. This midwestern mom can manage to keep a neat house, but not a clean car. She hates to cook yet loves to bake . Although she loves having fresh flowers in the house, she can’t stand the smell of floral-scented candles.
Erin erin@imperfectwomen.com
Hailing from the “City of Brotherly Love”, Erin is a twenty-something gal with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology. Therapist by day, she admits that she has not outgrown her teenage fondness for entertainment gossip (or Leonardo DiCaprio). She loves some good sports smack talk and can break out into the Eagles Fight Song at a moments’ notice. Most important in her life are her family , friends, faith and education. She is passionate but opinionated, she shows up but is often late. She is terribly uncoordinated, a disaster in the kitchen, and was always picked last for the dodgeball team.
Pam pam@imperfectwomen.com
Born and raised in a farming community in Wisconsin, Pam never dreamed she would be living and working in one of the largest diverse cities in the United States. She is a life long Packer fan and refuses to acknowledge that they haven’t been to the Super Bowl in over 10 years. Pam’s husband, two sons, and her extended family are her passion. She has enjoyed her career in the health and educational fields but looks forward to the near future when she can retire and finally learn how to cook.
