Last Week's Most Popular Articles Easter Charcuterie Board Ideas Pollen Season + Spring Diffuser Blends 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:
Why Kids Need Open-Ended Play 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. This was the very first guided meditation Mellisa created for Green Child back in 2012. And it’s still one of our most-loved. It’s a sweet, calming story that helps little bodies relax, like drifting on butterfly wings. Find it here or in the PDF library. Nervous System + Money Workshop Next Week This free workshop is genuinely valuable on its own. If you’re new to Kate Northrup’s work, you’ll 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 Current Issue | Instagram | Pinterest |

We get a lot of questions from parents of young kids who struggle with falling asleep. Recently I noticed some of them saying things like, "I'm typing this from my toddler's bed." Given (what some might call) my obsession with natural light rhythms, I'm surprised it took this long for it to click. What if these kids can't fall asleep because they're...
