Welcome to For Random Learning Comes!
My name is Andrea LeDew and I am the mother of four children, ages 16 to 27. I have homeschooled the youngest two for a while.
My 19-year-old has autism and is interested in movies and web design. My 17-year-old participates in robotics and has an interest in programming.
I have about nine continuous years of homeschooling under my belt, which may account for the thickness of my waistline. 🙂
Why the blog title “For Random Learning Comes“?
Because learning comes to us and our children in many different ways and through many different channels. As homeschoolers, we must be open to opportunities as they arise, and be flexible enough to change course, when we have to. The same goes for our own adult lives.
Besides homeschooling, I enjoy gardens, travel, mysteries, good books, and the company of friends and family. I live in Florida.
I write a fair amount of flash fiction and poetry these days, but I also occasionally blog on topics relating to disability and learning outside the traditional system. Other topics have a tendency to creep in along the way.
Most recently, I have participated in weekly flash fiction challenges, in an effort to improve as a writer. Please let me know how I’m doing.
Just to be clear:
>>I have worked as a lawyer in the past, but I am not your lawyer,and none of these posts
are meant to give legal advice or create any type of attorney-client relationship. <<<
I’m just posting my personal opinions, and I look forward to hearing yours. Please feel free to comment or voice your suggestions.
Looking forward to learning some random stuff together!

Andrea- I think I have followed you for a while now but have just come here now to
Leave a comment – I only know you as a varied writer and not as lawyer so we are all good on keeping the legal stuff out of our blog connection – hah
I think we work for years in law school to beat the music out of our prose, and then for years afterwards, to coax it back in. 🙂 Glad to meet a fellow traveler.
Found you via Rochelle. Your “Sooner” is great. Leaving a follow. I think you would enjoy my haiku called The Blessed Child. If you have time https://onetahayes.com/2017/01/08/a-blessed-child/
Yes thank you for your link oneta. Very good encapsulation of all that we love about homeschooling. Thanks Rochelle for sending oneta my way! There are plenty more homeschooling essays on my blog–try the category on the menu “the infinite variety of homeschooling”.
