Natosia Abdalla

Organic Living and Homeschooling

Natoshia Abdalla and her husband of 17 years have 3 daughters ages 16, 15, and 12 all of whom have been homeschooled from the start. She also currently teaches science classes at the Heartway Co-op. She attends and serves at Riding With Christ Cowboy Church as the Women's Director.  Pulling from her Appalachian upbringing, she loves gardening, homesteading, living off the land, and you will never see her without a cup of hot tea in her hand. Considering that homesteading is a way of life, her homschooling style reflects that with an eclectic Charlotte Mason and student led education program supplemented with Co-op extracurriculars.
