Checking all Links

I'm starting to go through these links to make sure they are still working. I've also added a few more. Tom is going to use this for next year.

Have a good night.

Can't believe Tom will be here

Next year Tom will be studying biology. In my True Blessings blog post, I stated that Tom is not an Apologia person. I forgot I had this biology blog. ~insert rolling eyes here~
I will probably use some of this for the biology class I'm going to "create" for him.

What I'd like to know is, Has this particular blog worked for anyone? It has been up for awhile and I see that people have visited here. I'm very interested to know. ~smile~

Just A Note

At the moment, I will not be adding anymore but, I probably will in the future. Tom is now in 7th grade and eventually he will be doing Biology. Enjoy what is here. ~smile~
