Homeschooling isn’t for every household, and a few years ago, Natalie 100% agreed that it was NOT for them. Until, she felt a big tug from God that she just couldn’t pass up. Now, she finds daily joy (and stress 🤪) homeschooling her 4 kids, while being a pastor’s wife and running their investment properties.
