About Me

Hi there & welcome to Pencils and Pajamas! I’m Kelly, homeschooling mom to three sweet kids & wife to my prince charming. We have been homeschooling from the beginning (around 2011), although I was definitely not planning on homeschooling…until I had kids. Once our first child was school age, we couldn’t stand the thought of sending her off to someone else to teach and train and raise up. So, we decided to give homeschooling a shot and here we are nine years later! Homeschooling isn’t all rainbows and butterflies, but I can honestly say that the decision to homeschool has been the best thing we have done for our family (not to mention you really can go to school in your pajamas!).

My heart behind this blog is to provide insight, encouragement, and a little bit of humor to those who are new to this homeschooling adventure and maybe offer some hope to those who might question their ability to teach their own children. You can do it! YOU can homeschool your kids!

At any given moment, you will likely find me with coffee in hand, a dog sleeping near by and little bit of chaos happening outside the frame.
