Mele Kalikimaka! Merry Christmas from Hawaii! Whether you catch this on Christmas day (I’m so honored!) or a bit later, in this episode you will find some fun facts regarding that strange week between Christmas and New Years, as well as THREE THINGS I suggest we all do before the New Year begins! I’m keeping this short and sweet, but I think the tips in this episode will prepare you well for an intentional, faith-filled start to your new year. Find show notes with the three tips as well as the Scriptures I shared (and a few extras!) at: http://www.monicaswanson.com/christmas 2024 General podcast page: http://www.monicaswanson.com/podcast Looking for a Bible-based math or science homeschool curriculum? All my boys have used DIVE/Shormann Math and science for short-but-thorough lessons through the AP level! They believe it was the best preparation for their college studies in engineering and data analytics. Shormann Algebra 1&2 prepares kids for everything on the Pre-SAT, SAT, and ACT with over 200 practice questions!
