How to Get More Fun and Games into Your Homeschool
An interview with Cait Curley from My Little Poppies and The Homeschool Sisters podcast
In this episode, I’m interviewing Cait Curley – half of The Homeschool Sisters Podcast and a lady who has changed my own homeschool for the better so many times, and we’re talking about how to get more fun and games into your homeschool.
If you’ve had pictures in your mind of homeschooling as a mini version of traditional school and can’t quite figure out how that could ever be fun or enjoyable for your family, you're going to love hearing from Cait in this podcast where we explore all the aspects of her well-known phrase “how homeschool can be almost all fun and games”.
I hope you love it! (And be sure to check out the episode I did with The Homeschooling Sisters too! It’s chock-full of all kinds of travel homeschool family questions and answers, and heaps of great show notes too!)
