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.

Easter Basket Stuffer & Filler Ideas
Easter is my favorite sign that spring has arrived!

It’s a great way to refresh their wardrobe and get them excited for the warmer months ahead!

Booking a year in advance helps secure better options, and be prepared for sticker shock! Despite this, we’re excited for the adventure and breathtaking scenery ahead.
My Son Has Inattentive ADHD

Through diagnosis, medication, and daily challenges, we've learned so much. I’m sharing our experiences to help others navigating ADHD — because no one should feel alone in this journey.
What I Learned My First Month Blogging
My first month of blogging has been challenging, scary, exciting, and full of mistakes. Finding a writing routine has been tough, and self-doubt is real, but the excitement of launching and connecting with readers makes it worth it. Most importantly, I’ve learned that blogging doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be me!
How to Avoid Doing Laundry on the Weekends
Laundry is one of my least favorite chores, so I created a weekly schedule to keep weekends free for family time. Each day is dedicated to a specific load — our clothes, towels, kids’ laundry, and sheets — making it more manageable. It’s not perfect, but it works for me! Do you have a laundry routine?
