3 hours ago
The path to homeschooling for each of us comes out of our unique circumstances—often as a sense of calling from God to do that “something greater” for our children. And often, contrary to our original plans! Today, you’re in for a treat as we welcome homeschooling mom Kaitlin Zara to talk about how she became The Unexpected Homeschooler.
Kaitlin would love to hear from you! She can be reached at:

A lot of us homeschool our kids because they’re wired differently. We talk about “neurodiversity" a lot these days, but we don’t often hear about "Autistic Burnout." Today, homeschool veteran Maureen Wittmann is here to discuss Homeschooling and Autistic Burnout.

Episode 214: Hallowtide Stories for Teens!
Wednesday Oct 16, 2024
Wednesday Oct 16, 2024
Teens love stories that make them think, even as they send shivers up their spines—but we don’t want them focusing on the occult offerings of the secular fiction world, especially with the Church’s rich traditions about the supernatural connections between the living and the dead. Catholic author, Antony Kolenc, is here to tell us about a new anthology of Hallowtide Stories for Teens!

Few in our world have not heard of the unbelievable tragedy that continues to unfold in the southeastern United States, since Hurricane Helene destroyed whole towns and took hundreds of lives (at the minimum). But God’s grace has been hard at work through generous souls like our guest today. At our invitation, Clara Davison is here to share a way we can directly help the survivors, through her family’s wonderful Catholic business, which is based in one of the worst impacted states—North Carolina. We’re talking with Clara Davison about Hurricane Relief and Holy Heroes.

Episode 212: Enjoying Science with Young Children
Wednesday Oct 02, 2024

Science as an academic subject is often outsourced—via online courses, community programs, and coops—because it can be highly technical. But when it comes to our little ones, how can we, as moms and dads, ignite an interest in science at a level they can understand and enjoy? Today’s guest, homeschooling mom Alex Resch, will share some tips for Enjoying Science with Young Children.
