Stay ConnectedHomeschooling is easier when you have a sister by your side.
Since 2016, and with over 1.6 million downloads worldwide, The Homeschool Sisters Podcast has been dedicated to supporting sisters across all walks of life. We are here to support you (and cheer you on!) as you raise your wildly unique children and teens.
This week this sisters chat deep dives - how do we know how much to "push," and when to let kids just explore interests? Plus, they share all their favorite Harry Potter resources.
We're not saying that Cait and Kara nerd out for a half-hour, but one of them does actually say that's exactly what they do. ;) Listen in as they suggest books, games, activities and more for your favorite little Potter People!
In this week's episode, the sisters are joined by S.D. and Gina Smith - a homeschooling couple that shares their experience balancing life with homeschooling and working from home.
Sam is the author of the hugely popular Green Ember series of books, but he's quick to point out that the characters he's created wouldn't be widely known if it wasn't for Gina, his wife of 18 years who homeschools their 4 kids.
The Smiths talk candidly about avoiding interruptions when Dad works from home, respecting homeschooling as a vocation and even ideas for getting Dad on board if he's resistant to the idea of homeschooling.
Plus, Sam shares a little about his newest book, The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner, available Dec. 3.
You won't want to miss this episode, and the sisters think it's a perfect one to share with all the non-primary homeschool parents out there.
The sisters are chatting non-fiction today! From their favorite go-to authors, to the books that have stood the test of time in their homes, they are coming to you with tons of recommendations.

In this week's episode, Cait and Kara chat about what we can do when our kids are curious about public school or maybe even feeling like they are missing out.
From making time for friends, to helping your kids take ownership of their homeschool experience, the sisters address the question: What do I do when my child keeps asking about public school?
Sisters - it's here! The big, bad math episode!
Cait and Kara have been wanting to do a math episode for so long, but they wanted to be sure to talk to an expert who would bring the knowledge, but also put your heart at ease.
So this week, they are interviewing Kate Snow of Kate's Homeschool Math. Kate is a Harvard grad, a teacher, a curriculum creator, the author of 5 books, and she's also a mom who has taught math in her own home, so she knows the unique challenges of homeschool families.
Pour yourself a nice, hot cup of coffee or tea for this one - and keep your ears open at the end - there's an opportunity to ask YOUR biggest math questions!
What do you REALLY need to homeschool? In this week's episode, Cait and Kara break it down. They each share 5-ish absolute favorite things that have made a huge difference in their homeschools.

How do we know how to schedule out our days and months with our kids? And when we have kids of different ages, how much can we teach them together?
This week Cait and Kara talk scheduling, pacing, morning time and more!
One of the questions the sisters get it a lot is "How do you get it all done?" You know - parenting, homeschooling, work, fancy meals, decorating, house projects, and on and on ...
So in this episode, Cait and Kara are pulling back the curtain and sharing all that they don't do. There's a lot! And they want to hear from you too. Head over to the show notes at thehomeschoolsisters.com to share what you don't do in this season of life.
In this week's episode, the sisters talk precocious kids, following (and ignoring) parts of a particular methodology, and what to do when our kids dive deep into a subject. Should we follow them down the rabbit hole? Listen in to hear what Cait and Kara have to say.
