Have you struggled to bring the virtuous lessons you're working to lead your children in under submission in your own heart? Have you struggled to stay focused during your quiet time with the Lord?
Struggling to make time, then knowing best how to spend it, is something many of us face. We know quiet time with our Father is the most important part of our day, but sleep deprivation, seasons of overwhelm, physical sickness, emotional struggles, and even hormones can cause what should be a stress-free, life-giving, joyful task to feel intimidating, scattered, or misspent.
Nothing can replace the word of God or honest, direct prayer with our Heavenly Father. But sometimes we need some structure and direction.
Meaningful Motherhood volumes were created to help us develop virtue in our own hearts, take our thoughts captive, and give us an easy way to get into the Word and enjoy the Spirit of God without complication or overwhelm.
Volumes do not need to be used in order - choose one that you think you will enjoy and start there.
Who's it for?
Meaningful Motherhood is for all mothers, in all stages, who want a fresh approach to quiet time that doesn't replace their existing Bible study, but adds a little mother culture and virtue-focus along the way.
What's included?
In the Calling Volume of Meaningful Motherhood, you'll find:
- Motherhood affirmation in the style of the Charlotte Mason motto (I am, I can, I ought, I will)
- Hymn: Breath on Me, Breath of God by Edwin Hatch (sheet music included)
- Motherhood Catechism: Why did God create me? How do I glorify God as a mother?
- Meaningful quotes by Longfellow
- Scriptural Encouragement (or Memory Verses): Micah 6:8, 1 Corinthians 7;17, Ephesians 4:1-6, Deuteronomy 6:6-7. Proverbs 31:10-31 (various translations)
- Poem: Rock Me to Sleep by Elizabeth Akers Allen
- Motherhood Liturgy

Co-Op + Classroom Licensing
Are you planning to utilize any Gentle + Classical materials with a group of other famlies (co-op) or in your classroom or school?
We are so excited to hear that and feel honored to be considered!
We do want to share the information about our co-op/classroom licensing with you. This also applies to daycares OR ANY OTHER SETTING in which non-family members are gathered to utilize G+C materials in any capacity.
What qualifies as a "daycare, classroom, or co-op"?
We define a co-op, classroom, or daycare setting as: 2 or more households coming together in a group with the intent of using Gentle + Classical materials for their lesson or gathering time.
Digital Licensing
Co-op licensing costs $7 per student/per curriculum/per year (Preschool, Primer, and/or Nature). The licensing includes access to our full digital curriculum so that the lead teacher can print and use the curriculum and supplementary materials in the classroom setting only. It doesn't include licensing to print materials for students to use at home with their families. Families who wish to use the curriculum in their own homes should purchase the curriculum for home use.
We also offer licensing for our unit studies, such as On Mission, Morning Virtues, Christmas, Autumn, and Easter. The co-op licensing for each unit study is $3 per child/per digital issue.
Interested in printed materials for your group or classroom?
We are happy to provide you with a customized quote! We provide bulk discounts for these types of orders.
How to Proceed:
To use co-op licensing, we will verify your information so we can correctly invoice you and provide the desired curriculum. Then, we'll create an invoice for you for the number of students using the curriculum. Once you've paid the invoice, we will send you access to the full digital curriculum so that your lead teacher can print and use the materials during your co-op meeting times.
For a print quote, we follow the same protocol.
Please email us at erin@lifeabundantlyblog.com for a quote for your group!
