Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Thanks for tuning in today. You guys have found

me at my little corner of the internet. I'm so glad you guys are here today is Tuesday,

the 21st of December. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I hope that you're

not too stressed out right now and you're getting some time with your kids today. I am

so blessed to have my friend Sam Sandin in the studio with me today. Sam is a native of

Sweden and we've had a lot of conversations about what's happening in the United States

you're going to be encouraged.

All right, so a couple of things you guys. Thank you to everybody who continues to send

cards and letters to us here at the homeschool resource center. I know I've told you guys

those to me. Heidi St. John at firmly planted family 11100 Northeast 34th Circle Vancouver,
