The Forti-fy Podcast

Premiere Episode!

Episode Notes

COVID 19 has some parents wondering if homeschooling might be a good option for their family. That can have them asking, "How do we do that?"

Today, Donna, Heather, Trisch and Ann walk through their combined 120 years of homeschooling with their 38 kids.  They share what has been most helpful for them and encourage both new, and veteran, homeschooling moms to keep on keeping on!

Check out the  article below recently written by Trisch's daughter Jessica. She was the daughter Trisch mentioned in regards to graduating in the midst of all the "life issues" they had going on.  It will encourage your heart to know "dreams do come true" for your kids when they have a passion and a goal! Encourage that passion!
