I was talking with my mom and I decided that I would spend the next year celebrating as many holidays and occurrences as possible. I think there are around 300 holidays a month!
My mom and I have always loved all the peculiar holidays and have had many laughs discussing them. I think this year will be a lot of fun but it will also require a lot of dedication, time, and it wont be without costs. I will give you once a week up dates once I get it started (Probably next month) and I will post daily journalings as often as possible. I have a feeling I will be rather busy.
I am home schooled which I believe will make this a whole heap easier, but also more challenging. Mom made an agreement with me... For this year I will use this as a lot of my school work. I will be writing reports on many of these days and I will be doing loads of research. I look forward to this coming year and I hope you will enjoy following my blog.
Feel free to post your comments along the way.

      People get Tourette Syndrome either from problems developing in the womb of from genes passed down from a parent or other relative. TS is not contagious.

National Lawn and Garden Month
The flowers are blooming and the lawn is...Very long...
Any way, Here's some pictures of my favorite Garden area in our yard: 

 We have a cherry tree in our front yard and under it are all sorts of pretty flowers. The daffodils and tulips are mainly the only ones in bloom right now but later this summer there will be more.
 The tree it's self has just started blooming. The bumble bees love it and when the wind blows it looks like it's snowing! I love this tree!





National Card and Letter Writing Month
I sent my pen pals a lot of letters this month - and every month!
I also sent our Easter cards to a couple friends.


Keep America Beautiful Month
When we went to the beach to fly kites we made sure not to leave any trash at the beach, and we didn't leave anything behind... Try to keep america beautiful by picking up after your self!



Straw Hat Month
I have two straw hats and I wore both of them in April. I where one of them kind of often but the other one I usually leave in the closet! Happy not any more straw hat month!



National Decorating Month
We decorated for Easter in April. Mom bought a pretty garland thing, covered in fake eggs. It's very cute. We even put a little angel bunny on top of it! 




National Two Different Colored Shoes Day

Today I wore Two different Sandals (one black one brown). It was very uncomfortable cause the soles were different thicknesses. Happy Two different colored shoes day!
And again ballet messed with my holiday a bit. I had to wear my ballet shoes that are the same color...but as I said before, they are technically slippers!

National Dance day

Happy (Second) Dance day

Mother Goose day

Where would we be without mother goose? Today's a day to remember the mother goose rhymes!
Here's a couple common ones I found online:

Little Bo peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo Peep Fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left their tails behind them.




Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said "What a good boy and I!"



A farmer went riding
 Upon his grey Mare;
Bumpety, Bumpety, Bump!
With his  daughter behind him,
so Rosy and fair;
Lumpety, Lumpety Lump!

A raven cried "Croak!"
And they all tumbled down;
Bumpety, Bumpety Bump!
The mare broke her knees,
the farmer his crown;
Lumpety, Lumpety, Lump!

The mischievous raven 
Flew laughing away;
Bumpety, Bumpety, Bump!
He vowed he would serve them
 The same the next day;
Lumpety, Lumpety, Lump!



More Rhymes

happy Mother Goose day

Stepmother's day

For Stepmother's day I made a card for a stepmother we know. I won't see her for a couple days but at least I made the card today! Happy Stepmothers day

Bugs Bunny Day

My sister and I watched a bunch of episodes of Bugs Bunny on You Tube today.I found this episode to be kind of interesting: Daffy For President   Enjoy!

Sorry!

I've not been as loyal to the holidays as I should. I'm finding as the weather gets nicer, and I'm feeling a little better, I'm not wanting to be inside on the computer. My mom's also not helping me as much as she was... unfortunately I have not done as many celebrations as I would like. Sorry.
