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 Morning Time), originally created by Lara Molettiere. This curriculum forms the “spine” of our membership, and there are currently 20 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!

Charlotte Mason Morning Time™ (formerly The Homeschool Garden Morning Time) 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 the following:

• Bible reading & scripture memorization
• Poetry memorization
• Artist & picture study
• Composer study & classical pieces
• Literature recommendations
• History
• Geography
• Hymn study & memorization
• Folk Songs 
• Handicrafts
• Shakespeare selection
• Plutarch (in some volumes)
• Nature study
• Teatime recipes

Not only are we in the process of editing, reformatting, and tweaking each volume of curriculum, we will also reorganize them according to historical eras or seasons. Plus, we have several new volumes in the works to fill in the gaps.

Furthermore, we are adding an abundance of delight-filled activities for “afternoon occupations” such as:

• A brand new art lesson for each volume
• A brand new handicraft lesson for each volume
• Seasonal handicrafts beyond the lessons
• Seasonal tea time recipes
• Seasonal nature studies + watercolor journaling lessons
• Seasonal nature crafts (not the same as “handicrafts”)
• Geography/map making art lessons to go with the history lessons
• Literary packs
• A library of seasonal poetry
• A library of printable handwriting/copywork practice
• More artist/picture study packs
• More composer study

Awaken to Delight will not affect the Masterpiece Society. We have a team of artists, administrative and virtual assistants, as well as content creators who will continue growing that site.

No. Awaken to Delight is a completely different membership and will require a separate subscription. Since it is specifically created for Charlotte Mason homeschoolers, it will encompass a far greater scope than the Masterpiece Society which offers online art lessons, art appreciation, and art history exclusively.

We will have the initial 20 volumes of curriculum (plus we’ll be adding more as we go), 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.

Yes! We will be creating a brand new art lesson for each of the 20 volumes. Plus, we will film more nature journaling lessons, map-making lessons for history and geography study, as well as other art lessons in the works.

We are reformatting the morning time sessions in a specific order, however, all the volumes will be available for you to pick and choose from if you don’t want to follow along. 

Absolutely! As soon as we complete each session, we will put them in our store for individual purchase. Each session will be $47, making the entire set over $900. However, the membership will be the best value as it will encompass everything we create.

One brand new art lesson will be included with each session, and there is already a handicraft lesson in each. We will also create several themed handicraft video courses which will be available for purchase sometime in the future. However, the membership will be the best value as it will encompass everything we create.

Alisha is EQUALLY obsessed um, in love with art and crafting, so she is super excited to add handicraft lessons to this site. We will include seasonal and historically-themed handicraft lessons for upper elementary through high school, including (but not limited to) sewing, crocheting, weaving, sculpting, woodworking, woodburning, jewelry-making, doll-making, and more! Alisha’s husband, Jason, will provide amazing (and useful) woodworking projects especially for boys.

All of the 20 sessions of Charlotte Mason Morning Time™ will be made available to our founding members, but we are still rebranding, editing, reformatting and reorganizing each volume. The membership, Awaken to Delight, will be in beta for a year as we will allow our members to help shape it. Art lessons, handicraft lessons, nature crafts, activities and journaling, (plus a few other surprises) will be added on a regular basis to the membership.

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, of course, will have much more requirements from the state to fulfill. However, we will include advanced, in-depth art lessons and handicraft projects that they will enjoy.

No. The membership site is set up to allow for only one family license per user login. 

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.

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 weekly scripture-based encouragement and a monthly check-in/prayer time via Zoom.

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.
