About the store
Welcome to Learning Lab Layne!
I’m Erika — a former school system employee turned homeschool mom who’s passionate about creating resources that make learning meaningful, organized, and fun. After years working as a high school special education assistant, attendance secretary, and data processing clerk, I left the classroom to homeschool my son full time when he needed 1:1 support to thrive.
Now, I design practical and beautiful planners, printables, classroom decor, writing prompts, seasonal packs, and do-a-dot activities to help teachers and homeschool families stay inspired and confident. My goal is to share the tools I create for my own homeschool — to save you time, add joy to your lessons, and support learning for every type of student.
Every purchase helps me continue to homeschool my boys and contribute to our family’s curriculum fund — so from one educator to another, thank you for being here and supporting our journey! 💕

Teaching style
My teaching style blends structure, creativity, and flexibility. I believe learning should be organized, engaging, and adaptable to every child’s needs. Whether it’s through hands-on do-a-dot activities, visual writing prompts, or simple planning tools, I create resources that make teaching easier and learning more joyful. My goal is to support both homeschool families and classroom teachers with practical, purposeful materials that fit real-life learning.
Additional biographical information
I’m a Tennessee native raising my boys in the same hometown my husband and I grew up in. We live on a small family farm where learning happens everywhere — from the hayfields to the kitchen table. Our days on the farm are filled with family, faith, and learning - often right in the same fields where my husband first worked hay years ago. Our lifestyle and homeschool journey inspire every resource I create for Learning Lab Layne, blending structure, creativity, and real-life learning for families and teachers alike.
