Welcome, I’m Mary Woita!
Creating a life of wonder at home
In a Classical Charlotte Mason education, the home is more than a place of learning—it is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life. Here, wonder is not reserved for the extraordinary but gently nourished in the ordinary moments: a well-chosen living book, a walk through nature, a quiet moment of reflection. This education is a gentle feast—offering truth, beauty, and goodness to both mother and child. As we sanctify our days with rhythm and intention, we cultivate not only our children’s affections but our own souls through Mother Culture, allowing wonder to take root and flourish in the heart of our homeschool.
From catholic tradition to classical education
My Wonder Journey
My journey towards a life of wonder began when I was a child seeking for truth and tradition. My family converted to the Traditional Catholic faith when I was just 10 years old. It has taken a very long journey through the Classical tradition alongside my own Mother Culture before I even began to grasp what a life of wonder truly is. And I believe this is just the beginning. As a Catholic homeschooling mother rooted in the classical tradition, I’ve found that Mother Culture—the quiet pursuit of learning and beauty for myself—helps me stay refreshed and present. At Joyfully Domestic, I share the joys and struggles of cultivating a home where faith, learning, and wonder grow side by side.

Forming souls through Wonder
Raising a Catholic family within a Classical Charlotte Mason education means forming both the intellect and the soul in pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. It is an education steeped in wonder—rooted in living books, sacred tradition, and a reverence for the natural world. With the liturgical year as our rhythm and the saints as our guides, faith is not merely taught but lived. This gentle, time-tested approach invites children into a life of virtue, contemplation, and joyful discovery—nurturing their affections for the things of God and preparing them to live fully in the light of truth.
