Simplifying Play: An Introduction

Simplifying Play: Newsletter One + bonus video from Playful Days at Home Starter Kit

When I first decided to launch this Substack page back in September, it was easy to plan out the first few subject areas, but December really had me stumped. Just exactly what do I offer my subscribers during one of the busiest periods of the year?

After some back and forth, I decided the best option was to go against the chaos of the season and talk about simplifying play.

If you are indeed far too busy to read the paid subscriber emails this month, rest assured that this series of emails will be available to you to come back to at anytime.
