And if you just really don't want to play, what you can do instead? The sisters have lots of ideas!
Cait + Kara have your back, friends. Tune in and know you are not alone when it comes to this struggle!

The sisters are chatting strewing. What is it? How do you do it?
What if your kids hate what you strew? And do you need to start with a book?
Cait + Kara are tackling your strewing questions and queries, and sharing lots of examples of how they use strewing in their homeschools.
Sisters - so many of you have asked for this one, and Cait + Kara are thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.
In this episode, Anne Guarnera of Language Learning at Home is addressing all your foreign language learning questions - from whether we need to start when our kids are tiny, to whether computer-based programs are a viable option.
Anne is a whiz - not only does she have a PhD in Spanish, she's also homeschooling her boys bilingually.
You're going to love hearing what she has to say. And the sisters want Anne to come back, so make sure you add YOUR questions in the comments at thehomeschoolsisters.com so the sisters can ask her in a future episode.
Cait + Kara are both unexpected homeschoolers. In fact, it's one of the (many) things that bonded them.
Listen in as they share how they ended up homeschooling their kiddos AFTER sending their kids to preschool programs. In fact, one of them even quit homeschooling for a short time and sent a child back to school before giving homeschooling another shot.
Also, hear a bit about the upcoming virtual Kindred Co. Homeschool Conference on March 8 - a full-day of inspiration and encouragement from the sisters and their pals Alicia Hutchinson and Mary Wilson.
