It was a Tuesday morning in late September. My living room was covered in phonics flashcards, library books, and a pile of lesson plans I’d stitched together from three different Charlotte Mason sites. My four-year-old grandson spun in circles, while my daughter, making lunch with a 9-month-old on her hip and two-year-old underfoot, tried to keep the chaos at bay. We were also helping with my niece, just four months old.
“Sweetie, come sit down. We need to do our letter sounds,” I said, exhausted.
He looked up and asked, “Nae Nae, can we just read a story first?” And something in me cracked. I’d spent 34 years teaching, yet felt overwhelmed trying to help my own daughter homeschool her kids, too many resources, too much pressure, and no way to do it all.
That night, my daughter was nearly in tears: “Mom, how will I ever do this when he’s five? Everything is either way too expensive or way too complicated for real life.”
A few days later, everything changed. At bedtime, my daughter lit the Saint Michael candle a little ritual after reading his story together. My four-year-old grandson, unprompted, prayed the entire Saint Michael prayer. Every word. All by himself.
He’d learned it not through drilling, but through story and the gentle rhythms of our days. That’s when I realized: we didn’t need more lesson plans. We needed stories, small rituals, and a simple, sustainable path. My daughter needed something real affordable, doable, for all three kids (plus her niece!), not a Pinterest-perfect plan.
That’s how “Take It To The Queen” was born. One picture book, five gentle days, real faith woven into family life. It worked. The children engaged, the liturgical year came alive, and peace returned to our home.

You’re not just printing another activity guide.
You’re preparing your own heart to lead your children in faith.
Breaking Open the Tale is a built-in companion for moms—
offering biblical insight, Church teaching, and reflection prompts
so you’re equipped to teach from peace, not pressure.
Because formation doesn’t begin with the child.
It begins with you.
Includes both the Picture Book Pilgrimage and Breaking Open the Tale— so you’re not just doing the work… you’re being formed by it.
You won’t find a wall of testimonials yet. But this gentle rhythm has already changed our family’s life.
My four-year-old grandson now lights a Saint Michael candle each night and prays the entire prayer from memory.
Not from drilling. Not from worksheets.
From a picture book. From one quiet week.
This isn’t a curriculum. It’s formation that actually sticks, because it’s built on presence, not pressure.
My name is Grace, founder of Graced House Press. I’ve spent 34 years teaching second graders and companioning families—now, I walk alongside my own grandchildren and daughter on their homeschooling journey.
I created this resource not as theory, but as a necessity when my own family needed something truly gentle, beautiful, and doable. If you long for a way to “return to the essentials,” create a home of peace and prayer, and build faith without burnout, you’re in the right place.
Reading is just the beginning.
Setting the Table gives you simple, meaningful activities to anchor the story in your home.
From planting a Mary garden to praying at bedtime,
these hands-on ideas help your children connect faith with action—
and build memories that last longer than any worksheet.
This is formation through beauty, ritual, and play.
Includes five days of story + formation, plus printable activity extensions, prayer prompts, and age-appropriate ways to bring the liturgical year into your daily rhythm.
You’ve probably been told that Charlotte Mason homeschooling is only for families with time, money, and a mother who can curate everything herself.
But that’s just not true.
Charlotte Mason said education is “an atmosphere, a discipline, a life”, not a marathon for experts with unlimited hours or resources. The principles are for everyone; the implementation shouldn’t require you to become a curriculum designer.
Most families are left with two choices:
Free plans that take ten hours of prep each week,
Or expensive, per child curriculum that can cost hundreds just to “feel Catholic.”
But you shouldn’t have to spend $500+ per child or become a full-time planner to share real faith, wonder, and formation.
You need someone to do the hard work for you so you can be present, peaceful, and actually enjoy your days.
That’s what Take It To The Queen is for. No more overwhelm. No more perfection pressure.
Just story, beauty, and the kind of gentle formation that lasts.
Because we know you’re busy, and you don’t have time to overthink this.
Yes. You’ll need a copy of the picture book by Josephine Nobisso to walk the pilgrimage. It’s not included with this guide, but you can find it online or at your favorite Catholic bookstore.
This resource is a companion—to help you bring the story to life in your home.
It’s created for children ages 3–12+, with activities and reflections that scale up or down depending on your child’s ability.
That means one guide serves your whole family—without juggling multiple levels or plans.
Nope. This is a 5-day guide—not a year-long commitment or boxed curriculum.
Think of it as a liturgical feast: simple, beautiful, and soul-nourishing.
It’s built to support real family life, not compete with it.
You’ll receive an instant download as soon as you purchase. It’s a PDF you can print out or view digitally—whatever works for your family.
Then you’re in the right place. This was created specifically for beginners—moms who feel called to more meaning, but don’t want to drown in pressure or Pinterest perfection.
You don’t need to know everything. Just start here.
Absolutely. This is a gentle add-on, not a replacement.
Most families tuck it into morning time, use it during a liturgical season, or center their week around it. It integrates with whatever you’re already doing.
Eventually, yes—members will receive access to all Picture Book Pilgrimage guides.
But this standalone version lets you try it now, with no commitment or membership required.
Forever. Once you buy, it's yours. Reprint it, reuse it, revisit it every liturgical year.
