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
Halloween Children’s Books That I Love To Read
I believe in the importance of teaching kids to read and fostering a love for it. In our household, Halloween-themed books are a fun way to get my children excited about reading. Here’s a list of our favorite Halloween books, which we enjoy reading together every season. Happy reading, and I hope you enjoy them too!
How I Love to Lose Track of Time Doing Puzzles
I love putting puzzles together; it’s my go-to activity for relaxation. Time seems to fly by when I’m focused on a puzzle. Whether it’s a holiday puzzle with my kids or a challenging 1000-piece one, we always enjoy working on them together. Puzzles are not only fun but also educational and creative, making them a family favorite!
My Favorite Time of the Year, I Love Fall!
I love the fall season, especially Halloween! My three S's of fall are Sweaters, Scents, and Scenery. I get excited to wear cozy sweaters, enjoy the comforting smells like spiced apple cider, and watch the beautiful autumn leaves change color in the mountains. Fall is the perfect time for family activities, and I’d love to hear what your family enjoys!
The Most Dreaded Week Of Elementary School
Red Ribbon Week is a great message, but it always brings one dreaded day: Crazy Hair Day. As a mom who's not great at hair, I stress over Pinterest ideas, waking up early to fix the kids' hair, and hoping it turns out. They’re good sports, but I can't wait until Crazy Hair Day is over!
What We Tried to Stop Our Son’s Chewing Habit
When my son started chewing paper in elementary school, we struggled to find a solution. After trying gum, Tic Tacs, and sensory necklaces, we found success with chewable pencil toppers. Although he still chews on things, we’ve accepted it as part of who he is. Patience and trial-and-error helped us navigate his sensory needs.
Teaching Your Child to Keep Their Room Clean
My 12-year-old daughter has been working hard to keep her room clean, and we’ve discussed strategies to help her maintain it. One simple tip is taking five to ten minutes before bed to put things away. Though it's a work in progress, she’s starting to realize how a clean room helps her feel calmer.
