Hi there! I’m Jamie, an introverted mom who loves the countryside, writing, traveling, and reading. 

I met my British husband Steve when I was sixteen years old and ventured overseas to volunteer with a humanitarian organization for the summer. When I came back home, I told my Nana that I’d met the person I was going to marry.

Six years later, I did.

Here’s a pic of us when we first met:

Now, over twenty-five years later, our family looks like this:

Along the way, we added three children to our ranks: Jonathan (our biological son), Elijah (adopted from Liberia), and Trishna (adopted from India). With four nationalities represented in our family, we like to think of ourselves as a mini-United Nations.

Back in 2009 I started writing about motherhood over at my very first blog, Steady Mom, and a year later I co-founded the site Simple Homeschool, where I’ve served as editor-in-chief for over a decade. I began IntrovertedMoms.com in 2020!

My books include Introverted Mom (an ECPA bestseller), Give Your Child the World (reached #9 on Amazon’s Top 100 Best Sellers list), Steady Days and more. You can find all of them right here!

My work has been featured by LeVar Burton of Reading Rainbow, the Washington Post, Parents, Today Parenting, and Psychology Today–so grateful.

I’m passionate about helping other introverted moms find freedom as women and mothers, which is why I created this blog, wrote this book, and designed this community in 2020.

Thanks so much for visiting; I know you’ll find encouragement and a sense of belonging here.
