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!

A little more about me…

Josh and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been married for over 8 years. Jonathan is 5 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.

I also have dysthymia, which is a mild but chronic form of depression. I’ve written an ebook called Finding Joy in Depression to encourage those hiding from their depression or trying to manage their depression or those trying to support loved on with depression.

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.
