Last Week's Most Popular Articles βEaster Charcuterie Board Ideas βPollen Season + Spring Diffuser Blendsβ I'm obsessed with keeping the windows and doors open this time of year, but we haven't had much rain and pollen season has been rough! So here's what I'm doing to keep the house feeling fresh and mitigate some of the allergies:
βWhy Kids Need Open-Ended Playβ Open-ended play is a breeding ground for creativity. This is why a piece of fabric can be used for dress up, a stage curtain for puppet shows, part of a fort, a doll hammock... When we give kids toys that only serve one specific purpose (especially electronics that do all of the entertaining), we're taking away their need for imagination. Here's more about the benefits of open-ended play and how to encourage it. βButterfly Meditation Scriptβ This was the very first guided meditation Mellisa created for Green Child back in 2012. And itβs still one of our most-loved. Itβs a sweet, calming story that helps little bodies relax, like drifting on butterfly wings. βFind it here or in the PDF library. βNervous System + Money Workshop Next Weekβ This free workshop is genuinely valuable on its own. If youβre new to Kate Northrupβs work, youβll likely learn something meaningful about your relationship with money and you'll definitely learn at least one nervous system tool you can start using immediately. This year it starts April 9th. If you can't attend live, you can still get the replays and worksheets. As always, if you have questions or comments, feel free to reply. We answer every email. Have a lovely weekend! Amity & the Green Child team βCurrent Issue | Instagram | Pinterestβ |

I'm happy (and very tired) to share that these kids are delightful. Not that I didn't know... I have two sons who are smart, sweet, and interesting. And their friends have mostly been the same. But it's been nice being around other kids their age who aren't as the...
