I am Cindy LaJoy, and the mom, project manager and job coach for Buckaroos Slices and Scoops. Prior to spending the past ten years as a home educator teaching our five kids, I was a restaurant owner, an insurance agent, and a customer service manager. I also facilitated the international adoptions of all our children from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Married to my high school sweetheart, Dominick, for 33 years, I have assisted behind the scenes with our other businesses which include a mobile auto detailing business, a café at our local airport, and currently House of Spirits Liquors here in Montrose.
I have learned through daily work with our own children that there is little room in the working world for those who need more support to succeed. As our fears grew for our children who were nearing graduation, we realized we might have to create a place for them, and others, so their gifts could be put to use and they could blossom in ways that wouldn’t be possible in environments that were not designed to allow for additional training and time to “catch on”.
When not educating our kids, I enjoy singing in our church choir, creating mosaic art, photography, blogging, and mentoring other parents through my web site and Facebook group Blue Collar Homeschool.
