Bring Joy & Delight
into Your Homeschool!
(And back into your own life too!)
If you’ve struggled trying to find the balance between raising your children, instilling godly values in them, plus providing them with a rich and generous education, all the while keeping your home running smoothly—not to mention finding time for your own self-care—then you are not alone.
Educating your children at home is deeply rewarding, but it can also be incredibly overwhelming, especially when you're trying to research, hunt down, weed out, sort through, and organize your own Charlotte Mason curriculum plan on top of everything else!
Let Awaken to Delight help take at least that part off your plate...We've already done the "heavy lifting" for you. Now all you need to do is gather your family around and partake of this delightful feast!
Charlotte Mason wrote,
“The souls of children are waiting for the call of
knowledge to awaken them to delightful living.”
We know from experience that homeschooling can truly be a delight-filled experience for your entire family. This is the heart of our curriculum and our brand new community!
My family is living proof...
After 19 years of homeschooling with the Charlotte Mason method and now on the other side with college graduates, I can attest to the beauty of this lifestyle of learning. Through the years, it completely shaped and formed my family. We have such beautiful memories of the books we read aloud together, the artists and composers we studied, the nature hikes we went on, the museums we visited, the Shakespeare plays we went to, and on and on!
Our commitment to this educational style has produced three well-rounded young adults who are artists, writers, musicians, and lovers of literature, poetry, and nature. But most importantly, they are all the best of friends with shared memories, experiences and joys!
Now it is my desire to help you experience the same fulfillment as a mother that I do.
What is Awaken to Delight?
Awaken to Delight is a creative Charlotte Mason education for the busy mom! We have intentionally curated the finest literature, artworks, composer study, poetry, and so much more for you!
At the core of our membership is the Charlotte Mason Morning Time curriculum (formerly The Homeschool Garden) which was originally created by Lara Molettiere. The membership includes 24 volumes (an $1100+ value!) — plus many more in the works!

Introducing our Exclusive...
"Beautiful Life Community"
Every member of Awaken to Delight will receive a private invite to join our BRAND NEW exclusive Beautiful Life Community (hosted on Mighty Networks). The community—a $250 value—is included in your membership at no additional cost to you!
Co-hosted with my friend, Lara Molettiere (Everyday Graces, and original creator of the Charlotte Mason Morning Time curriculum), we have purposely curated beautiful opportunities for you to enjoy each month. We believe they will enhance your life and fill your soul, especially as you intentionally connect with other women.
For Moms:
- Book Chats for Moms: Year-long and quarterly book club discussions.

- Sewing Circle: A relaxing time among a circle of friends, creating and chatting about homeschool and life.
- Virtual Paint Parties: Give yourself the occasional treat of unwinding, de-stressing, and playing with paint for an hour or so with other moms just like you. Our virtual paint parties will be held here.
- Live Community Events: From Q&As, guest speakers, workshops, bible studies, prayer times, and more—you can immerse yourself in our community as often as you like. These events will help you get to know others and form lasting friendships and connections.
For Kids & Teens:
- Nature Club: A simplified club to inspire and encourage your kids and teens to get out and observe the beauty of God's creation. We'll provide the monthly theme, nature walk prompts, activities, art journaling lesson, and nature crafts or projects!
- Literature Club: Let your kids and teens immerse themselves into imaginary worlds and adventures in these book clubs (that will also count as Language Arts credits)!
- Tea Time Tuesdays: Once a month gatherings for kids and teens to don their "Sunday best" or join us in dressing up as characters from books or in the fashions of the era in which the author or poet lived.
- Keepers of the Faith & Contenders for the Faith: (Coming Soon!) A monthly club where kids and teens can earn badges/points for Bible reading, memorization, homemaking and life skills, baking, handicrafts, art, nature, service, outdoors, health & fitness, literature, and MUCH more!

Important:
How Do the Monthly Basic & Plus Subscriptions Work?
If you want unlimited access to ALL of the Charlotte Mason Morning Time curriculum, including ALL the supplement packs, art courses, handicrafts, recipe library, and MUCH, MUCH more (see "Behind-the-Scenes" video at bottom of page), then you will need to purchase the Annual Membership ($397/year).
However, we understand that some homeschooling families cannot afford a lump sum payment. For this reason, we have created two monthly subscriptions for you to choose from:
- Monthly Basic = $35/mo (A savings of $144/year off regular prices.)
- Monthly Plus = $47/mo (Same as basic, but includes unlimited access to the BONUS art courses.)
Both subscriptions work the same way:
- On the first day of each month subscribers will have one morning time session unlocked for them.
- Everyone subscribed to these monthly plans will receive the same volume, and therefore, can work through them together (if desired).
PLEASE NOTE: These plans do not include the exclusive bonuses for annual members. But they DO include access to our brand new Beautiful Life Community.
Please see the FAQ section below for the 2024/2025 Release Schedule.
Doors close Friday, May 3rd @ midnight!
“We have been greatly blessed by the content of these plans. The care and beauty you pour into each one is abundantly evident. They are far and away our favorite plans ever! We love the inspiring artwork and beautiful graphics/layout of each one. I am especially grateful that we can return to these plans again in the future and rediscover timeless truths and yet something new again, as well.”

Alisha Gratehouse
Masterpiece Society & Awaken to Delight
Alisha Gratehouse is an artist, minister’s wife, and veteran homeschool mom of three young adults. She is passionate about nurturing creativity and bringing encouragement to others.
Long before she founded her company, Masterpiece Society, she was learning all she could about a Charlotte Mason education. Alisha began incorpo-rating these methods with her children in the early days of Ambleside Online (when it was known as the “Parents Union Online” or PUO).
Through the years, this beautiful lifestyle of learning completely shaped and formed who her children are today — artists, writers, musicians, and lovers of literature, poetry, and nature.
"The plans are so lovely. The art projects created are especially gorgeous. Thank you for the beauty you all have brought into our lives!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've got A's for your Q's
What is Awaken to Delight membership and what all is included?
Awaken to Delight is a brand new membership for Charlotte Mason homeschoolers who want a rich and delight-filled education for their kids and teens.
We provide a generous variety of short lessons already planned out & gathered for you in the form of our Charlotte Mason Morning Time curriculum (formerly, The Homeschool Garden), originally created by Lara Molettiere. This curriculum forms the “spine” of our membership, and there are currently 24 4-week & 6-week volumes (with more in the works).
And then we add an abundance of “afternoon occupations” for your kids, teens, and you — from art lessons, to handicrafts, to nature activities, and journaling, to tea time recipes for baking, and so much more!
What is Charlotte Mason Morning Time?
Charlotte Mason Morning Time (formerly The Homeschool Garden ) is a curriculum originally created by Lara Molettiere. Each volume is rich with “done-for-you” plans, printables and/or links that are true to Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and will greatly simplify your morning time.
Each volume contains:
Bible reading & scripture memorization, poetry memorization, artist & picture study, composer study & classical pieces, hymn study & memorization, folk songs, literature recommendations, history, geography, hymn study & memorization, handicrafts, Shakespeare selection, Plutarch selection (in some volumes), nature study, teatime recipes, and more!
What is the 2024/25 Release Schedule for the Monthly Subscriptions?
What's the difference between this new membership and Masterpiece Society Studio?
Awaken to Delight is specifically created for Charlotte Mason homeschoolers and will encompass a far greater scope than the Masterpiece Society Studio.
It includes morning time sessions, poetry packs, literature packs, tea time recipes, handicrafts, nature crafts, nature activities, etc.
The Masterpiece Society will remain exclusively focused on art: art lessons, art history & art appreciation.
Both memberships are stand-alone and will require separate subscriptions.
What is the age range for this curriculum?
Awaken to Delight is a whole-family program. The
morning time plans are designed with elementary through high school (Forms 1-4) in mind. Younger children may join in and will definitely enjoy many aspects, but we have no plans to create curriculum for preschoolers.
High school students will of course have much more requirements from the state to fulfill. However, we include high school level reading, copywork, plus advanced, in-depth art lessons and handicraft projects that they will enjoy.
Can I purchase the Charlotte Mason Morning Time sessions separately instead of joining the membership?
Absolutely! As soon as we complete each session, we put them in our store for individual purchase.
Each session is $47, making the current entire set over $1100. However, the annual membership will be the best value as it will encompass everything we have and each new session we release.
Is this curriculum Christian or Secular?
Charlotte Mason said, “The indwelling of Christ is a thought particularly fit for children because their large faith does not stumble at the mystery, their imagination leaps readily to the marvel, that the King Himself should inhabit a little child’s heart,” (Home Education, p. 352).
This curriculum is decidedly Christian. It includes scriptures and hymns for copywork, memory work, and recitation.
The membership will also include scripture-based encouragement and prayer.
Can I share my membership account with another family?
No. The membership site is set up to allow for only one family license per user login. Thank you for honoring our hard work by not sharing your login with others.
What is your Refund Policy?
Because of the downloadable and digital nature of our products, we do not offer refunds.
Please Note: Memberships will recur until you cancel. You may cancel at any time, however there are no partial period refunds.
Upon cancellation, you will continue to receive full access until your chosen period (month or year) expires. Your membership will not renew.
Are you a vendor for charter schools?
Because we are choosing to keep Christian content in our curriculum, we will not allow state charter school purchases. However, if your charter doesn’t have issues with “religious content” then we will consider working with them.
Have a question you can't find the answer to? Reach out to us today.
