We covered evolution/Darwin in our lesson 2:

I've been revamping my blog all week, if you have any questions, let me know!

Love your blog Angela! I've been following for a little while now. It's very inspiring.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been wanting to purchase the floor mat and this is just what I needed to push the "buy now" button!


Do you guys recommend the creature cards that go with?
