I’ve been avoiding the subject. It is such an integral part of my life that it’s time to add it to the many resources here on True Aim.
Some of you know I’m a Homeschooler, but most of you don’t. I thought I might alienate some of my readers by introducing Homeschooling subjects, but in reality I’ve kept valuable tools and information from you. What’s more is that I’ve divided my efforts and created a whole separate blog on homeschooling.
I know; stop the madness right!?
I’m happy to announce that I’ve come to my senses! I’m combining my homeschooling blog with True Aim. What does that mean for you? More parenting and learning activities! Because in reality, we are all Homeschoolers. The difference is when and how much.
What else? Free eBooks! All of my homeschooling blog subscribers get a free children’s eBook each month from my Learning Store: Blue Manor Education. Since I’m combining the 2, that means True Aim subscribers get them for free too! You’ll also receive exclusive discounts on products in my store and from my partners. If you’re not signed up for the Free eBook of the Month Club, you’re missing out!
But wait, there’s more!
I have 2 fabulous contributors that will help inspire and encourage you in your parenting journey.
Kathryn, a Texan and Mom of 2 children, strives to keep life real, enjoy the small things, and keep laughter a priority. In 2011 her son Jackson was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect which led her family to boil down their priorities to what really matters. They are able to spend their days learning and teaching each other at home, creating a bond beyond anything she could have ever dreamt of. Her days are filled with homeschooling, serving the community, park dates, canoe trips, hikes, cooking, organizing, crafting, decorating, blogging and lots of time snuggled up with the kids and their favorite books.
Britton is my Husband and director of the Children’s Ministry at our church. He creates most of the Kids Learning ebooks in our store. Adding a touch of intriguing and convicting content, he will keep you re-evaluating your roll as a parent and your educational choice. This helps challenge us to be the best parents and followers of Jesus that we can be!
As always, I promise to bring you the best ideas for raising your children in the Lord and help you discover the True Aim of Parenting and Education!

YEAH! So that you are combining all of your interests on one blog. It is way easier then us chasing you back and forth. I do send my son to preschool but I also homeschool him 🙂 He likes to learn and the stuff that they are doing in school is so easy for him but I don’t want him to miss out on all the fun play time plus he can do all his messy crafts there 🙂 I look forward to following all your infomation!!

I like activities for preschoolers, specifically any that combine learning and lots of movement. 🙂 I love teaching my 2 1/2 year old, but would love some direction as far as what to teach next, and how to do it. He knows his letters, numbers, colors and shapes. I’m just not sure what to work with next and of course I need to keep reviewing what he’s already learned with him.
