Brynn Harvey
I am a stay-at-home wife and mother to three amazing kids, including one who is in constant battles with ADHD and tactile defensiveness. I think we're the perfectly imperfect family! I am an introvert, and I recently discovered that I am a highly sensitive person. I love to be at home, and my favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, watching movies, puzzles, and playing games with my family. You can also find me online: Facebook - Pinterest

Should You Give Your Children an Allowance?
We never used to give our kids an allowance, but after much thought, we implemented a system based on age. It’s not tied to chores or grades but teaches money management. They buy their own wants, learn to save, and stop asking for extras. Each child spends differently, making it a great learning experience!
