Geography of Virginia The state of Virginia is divided into five geographical regions: the […]
National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day
September 13th celebrates National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day. Not a bad deal for us parents…..unless said kids are the type to set the place on fire. This day isn’t just for the big kids though. This day should bring even the smallest of children into the kitchen. #NationalKidsTakeOverTheKitchenDay While it would be a great way to sit down […]
National Hug Your Hound Day
I sure wish I had my two hounds here with me so that I could celebrate National Hug Your Hound Day. I miss my girls every day. Our Basset Hound passed away in 2018 and our Walker Hound passed away 2 years later. You never think that the passing of an animal will be that bad. I’m here to tell […]
National School Picture Day
Every child in America either is over the moon or absolutely dreading National School Picture Day. I always dreaded it. Either my clothes were never right, I sported a really bad hair day, or had some volcanic growth on my face! Now that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I think we all know that it seemed that […]
National New Hampshire Day
Yet, another state I have lived in! National New Hampshire Day is special for me for many reasons. The biggest reason is my daughter. We weren’t sure what NH was going to have in store for our family, but after moving there we decided to do foster care. That’s where we found our baby girl. Others came to stay for […]
National Read a Book Day
National Read a Book Day should be every day! I love to read books! Mostly thrillers, but kid’s books are great when reading to my child or to the students at school. Adding voices and and motions really gets the kids going too. The most satisfying thing is hearing the kids yell “NNNOOO!!” when you tell them that you’re ending […]
National South Carolina Day
Okay, so in honor of today, I am going to post National South Carolina Day today because I missed the opportunity on August 31st. Better late than never as they say. As stated in the past, we are going to post each state in the order that it entered the Union. Unfortunately, we missed this one. So let’s take a […]
National Be Late for Something Day
September 4th – National Be Late for Something Day is literally screaming my name! I forgot to post National South Carolina Day back on August 31st so this post is to “celebrate” my being late for something (as in posting what I missed). I’m a firm believer (as my mother has always been late for everything, but Dr. appts.) of […]
National Pastor’s Spouses Day
National Pastor’s Spouses Day is near and dear to my heart. I have had three lovely ladies in my life due to Pastors in my life. I can tell you that being a pastor’s wife is as involved, sometimes, as being a pastor. She not only has to support her husband, family, and self, but she also has to give […]
National Welsh Rarebit Day
What is National Welsh Rarebit Day, you ask? Perhaps you’ve heard of its alternate name? In case you haven’t figured it out…..it’s Welsh Rabbit. I have had great fun with this bit of research. In fact, I have learned so much about this dish. Full disclosure: I will be the first to admit that while I did not believe it […]
