National Roller Coaster Day is absolutely exuberating! What better time of the year to celebrate it, too? The fair season is upon us. So many thrill seekers gather at these local fairs to find these behemoths and take them on. We need to go to the bigger fairs for the bigger coasters. Otherwise, we need to go to the local […]
We all have some sort of image that is conjured up when we hear National Relaxation Day. Whether you’re into sitting by the lake, going to a crowded beach, or laying on the couch with a good book. Whatever it is, it’s sure to bring a smile to our faces. I find it interesting that this was not a day […]
When we first start our gardens we can’t wait for them to sprout. Once they sprout we can’t wait for them to flower. Then once they flower we can’t wait for them to produce fruit (or vegetable). After they fruit we can’t wait for them to produce even more. At last one day, they stop producing, everything looks terrible, and […]
The history of V-J Day Grab yourself a snack and kick back. This could be a lengthy read. I’ve been holding on to my American History book. A copy just like the one I had in high school. We won’t discuss just how long ago that was! National V-J Day holds some great history. I intend to use this book […]
Today, August 13th, is National Garage Sale Day! Wahoo!! I mean, who doesn’t love a great find? I know I do. Not only do I love a deal, but I love finding those unique items you can’t find in the store. I’m not very good at haggling for lower prices. I leave that to my husband. Let’s talk about some […]
If you are of the proper age (if you know, you know) then you must be having that nostalgic feeling right now. For my friends and me, it was a Friday or Saturday night destination. The record store was the place to buy the latest albums (and later, CDs) from your favorite artists. Yes, National Vinyl Record Day brings back […]
I’ll be honest, before today, I didn’t know anything about this delectable treat. I am excited to present you with what I’ve learned along the way. Maybe I’ve been living in the dark ages and you already know all there is to know about the bombe! Let’s celebrate National Raspberry Bombe Day!! #NationalRaspberryBombeDay Here we are, August 11th, in the […]
Despite what many people picture when they think of Connecticut it’s actually quite a bit of open land. National Connecticut Day is Near and dear to me. I have lived in the state on 2 separate occasions and it’s quite beautiful. When people picture Connecticut, they often just think of it as a metropolis (think New Haven of Hartford). As […]
Research shows that time spent reading with or to your child will greatly increase their own literacy. There are so many reasons that we should celebrate National Book Lovers Day. The National Commission on Reading says this: The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to […]
It’s not just National Sleep Under the Stars Day, it’s GLOBAL. So whether it’s out in the forest or your own backyard, sleeping under the stars can be absolutely invigorating. I wouldn’t personally recommend the forest or backcountry without truly knowing your surroundings. Of course, our own backyards are probably the safest place. Perhaps you’re adventurous and that’s ok. Anywhere […]
