Homeschooling my children
Homeschooling is not for everyone. It requires careful thought and prayer and a commitment to the process and discipline. I homeschooled all three of children from kindergarten to high school graduation. For 20 years I learned along with them, each with a unique learning style. The science experiments, the tough math problems, the frustrations when days didn’t go smoothly. I grew through the sacrifice.
Outer Space
You will never see me joining a civilian contingent to travel to outer space. Have no desire to do that….ever. I admire those who can embrace risk and and venture into the unknown.
My Son (My gentle giant)
My youngest son (who is 23) is also high-functioning autistic. He works part-time for Target and is a very empathetic soul and hates to see people that are hurting. One day, I had a particularly difficult day at work. After dinner, I went to my desk to write and catch up on news. There on my desk, was a note and $5. “Mom. I am sorry work was so hard. Here is some of my money to buy coffee to feel better.”
Rest…It’s Good for the Soul
In our non-stop digital age, it can be almost impossible to find downtime and “unplug” ourselves and just rest. But it is necessary for mind, body and soul.
Be encouraged by this 1-minute video devotional based on the Jesus 365 series.

“International House of Lainey”
My favorite restaurant….MY HOUSE. 🙂
I love to cook and nothing beats a home cooked meal and conversation. With the work schedules my family keeps, a meal together is a treasured rarity so I eat it up any chance I get (no pun intended)
Blessings to you on Palm Sunday

Definitely the opposite of what I am doing now! :-)
NOT working for someone else
I would like to be living out in the country on a few acres. It would be in a home we built with a hobby farm. Most definitely, we would have some goats!
Would love to have an RV to be traveling the US visiting historical sites.
My 5 things…
- The simple fact that I get up to breathe and live another day with purpose
- God
- My husband…in spite of his weirdness 🙂
- My kids…every single day
- You guessed it readers…. my coffee (you HAD to know that was on the list)
A different kind of learning….
I was in high school in the mid to late 80’s and I was homeschooled. Which at that time, was a rarity. I did my classes in the mornings. I biked to my job in the afternoons. I took care of my grandmother on the weekends. Prom was never a thing, I wasn’t on any sports team. But I learned the importance of taking care of family. I became an independent worker. I learned how to balance responsibilities. I also learned to value education and hard work.
