Moms of Influence: For Everything There is a Season....A Time to Love

Two of our very own group members (and homeschool moms) shared a wonderful presentation with us today. They spoke about the 8 different types of "smarts" and how we can recognize and develop these "smarts" in our children. The 8 different types of "smarts" are: word, logic, picture, music, body, nature, people, and self. To learn more and view the slideshow, please click HERE.
