Learn Everyday - Learn Something New

-

I love to learn. I find it so fun and worthwhile to learn about everything I can. For some examples:

  • What are the benefits of hugging?
  • How many kinds of cheese are there?
  • What don’t I know about squirrels?
  • What are the benefits of flowers?
  • What nutrients are in watermelon?
I also was having a hard time thinking about what to share on social media. So, I thought what better way to do both, then to look up calendars and see if I can find something to celebrate everyday. It’s amazing what I found. There is something everyday. National bagel day, cheese lover’s day, kid inventor’s, and more. 

I created a calendar that I can type everything (well, not everything on some of the days because sometimes they aren’t things we would want to celebrate) in for that day. Then we can celebrate, learn more about those things, and have fun!

If you’re interested here are the ones we’ve done so far:

National Sticker Day

National Organize Your Home Day

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

National Winnie The Pooh Day

National Popcorn Day

National Bagel Day

Being a lifelong learner helps us to be happier and feel more fulfilled in our lives and careers, and it also helps us maintain stronger cognitive functioning when we get older.

Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations. Today I made caramel popcorn. I got the recipe from Nick’s mom. You can find the recipe  Here Xander got this popcorn maker as a white elephant gift. This is the white cheddar popcorn we like. Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

Rain Chain

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
