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.
In this episode the sisters are answering YOUR questions! Cait + Kara get such great questions from you all, so they're addressing several of them, from finding your tribe, to keeping homeschooling legal, to chores! They even share some ideas for other podcasts.
Also, Cait is caught in a Nor'Easter, so Kara sends her a Saint Bernard with a barrel full of tequila. Snow margaritas!
Pop the gals in your ears, and let's have some fun!
Oh February. It's a short month, but for homeschoolers, it can feel like it drags for about 2 years. But don't worry, mamas - Cait and Kara have you covered.
In this episode, the sisters talk about how February is basically like homeschool PMS, "the husband shuffle," lazy unit studies, and a ton of fun resources including one that Cait terms "math dessert!" Plus, the gals spill the beans about their MASSIVE February giveaway.
So don't worry, homeschool mamas - February is notoriously hard, but you've got this, sister!
The sisters are talking winter (homeschool) survival in the first episode of Season 2! Listen in to their intentions for the new year (it has a bad word in it, you guys!), how they are keeping a Christmas Break feeling in their homeschools and ways to bring hygge, or togetherness and coziness to your everyday.
Feeling overwhelmed already by short, dark days? The sisters are back, baby, and they've got some ideas to make winter feel joyful and warm, even when it's really darn cold outside!
It's never easy when someone questions you about something as close to your heart as homeschooling. So in this episode, the sisters address how to handle homeschool doubters. What can you say when you first make the decision to homeschool? Is it worth it to argue? Will arguments even work? And what about the upcoming holidays - exactly what do you say when between bites of green bean casserole, your uncle leans across the table and tells you you are ruining your kids' lives? (It happens, sisters - and here's what you can do.)
Cait is a game-master. Kara wants to be, but things keep getting in the way ... like directions. So in today's episode, Cait shares amazing ideas for adding more games to your days, for both learning and fun. The sisters talk favorite games old and new, games for certain subjects like science and math, why it's OK to NOT love a game even if everyone else does, and the many, many lessons kids can learn from growing up playing. So join us as we roll the dice, spin the wheel, and share easy tips for incorporating more games into your homeschool - such a fun way to learn together!
One of the most common questions the sisters get is about rhythms and routines. How to start one? How to resume one after a break? What about when your rhythm or routine just is NOT working. Cait and Kara hash it out in this episode and share their tips and ideas. The biggest one? Start small!
The sisters are chatting exercise in this episode! How do they do it? Where do they do it? (It sure isn't like life before kids, but that's OK). We want to encourage you to exercise where you can and how you can - but don't sweat it - this is a guilt-free podcast! ;)
The sisters have been getting lots of questions about planning for the fall. In this episode, Cait and Kara share all of the resources that they are excited about using in the upcoming year. And, with five children and an age range of 5-12 between them, you’re not going to want to miss what they have to say!
It's the sisters' first slumber party! Cait and Kara chat with Shawna Wingert - writer, speaker, author and mama to two boys with special needs. Do you ever feel like your homeschool just doesn't or can't look like the homeschool next door, or the family from co-op or church, or even all the families on the internet? Shawna joins the sisters to remind you that that's OK, and that just because you have to do things a little differently, that doesn't mean what you are doing is less.
In this episode Cait and Kara talk the early days of homeschooling, share tips for getting started and impart their favorite piece of advice - that you DO NOT have to do it all, especially your first year. Listen as they chat about deschooling, finding your tribe and how your house will never be the same, but in a really awesome way. Don't fret if this is your first year - the sisters have got you covered!
