About

Welcome to The Pelsers!

My name is Amanda and this is my family, The Pelsers.

I open my home to you as an encouraging and inspiring shelter for your heart by sharing my journey of faith, motherhood, and homeschooling. Make yourself at home, take part in the conversation, and enjoy the journey!

I started blogging here in 2005 for our long-distance family. It then became a scrapbook of our boys’ lives. Now it has become a way for me to share my loves, thoughts, and passions.

A little more about me…

Josh and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been married for 8 years. Jonathan is 4 1/2 and Jacob is 1. I have a BA in Bible and a MA in Old Testament Studies. Before coming home to be with my boys, I was the communications director at a church for five and half years.

What is Havenhart?

We named our homeschool Havenhart Academy. We want out home to be a shelter for the heart of our boys. We’ve been “officially” homeschooling since the spring of 2010.
