Hey friends!

Wow, it's been a hot minute since I've sat down at my desk! Feels good to be back in those comfy roller chair. I am excited, #1 that it's the first day of May. May in Kentucky, other than this randomly weird weather is all about the Kentucky Derby. Even though we are located in Madison, Indiana. .  We will jump in on the Kentucky festivities. How can you not, when you're so darn close?! Besides the Derby.. the second thing I am excited to share with you is the my Play Ambassador mission message for this month. 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Genius of Play Team has launched a brand-new resource to help support kids’ emotional development. My mission as your local play ambassador is to tell you about and share with you the NEW Emotional Wellness Playbook! 

The Emotional Wellness Playbook has been created in collaboration with Talia Filippelli, a recognized mental health expert, founder of Starr Therapy, and a Certified Holistic Health Coach. The Playbook offers families a collection of play-based activities that are designed to help kids develop emotional intelligence and learn to express their feelings in a healthy way — while having fun!  Every activity includes step-by-step instructions and a quick summary of the play benefits it provides.

To access the Playbook Please - CLICK HERE: https://www.thegeniusofplay.org/.

I think this Playbook is such an awesome resource and I know my kids will LOVE IT. If you jump in the fun with the Playobok, please send us some pictures or tag us on social media! 

Have a magical MAY!
