Make Your Bed Day – This is a great day! I really, really like this one. I think I'll print out this day and post it on my children's bedroom doors. It’s pretty self explanatory and parents all over the world should jump on it and make it an official celebration in their households.
No News Is Good News Day – This is my mantra whenever my children are away from me and I start to worry about them for no reason whatsoever. I remind myself that if something goes wrong, I'll get a phone call or something. You should remind yourself of that today as well.
Sustainable House Day - This is an Australian day designed to promote environmentally friendly homes. The idea is to help give inspiration to those who want to make their homes and lives more progressive and help the encourage sustainable living. You can register here and go visit a Sustainable House near you….as long as you are near Australia. Perhaps someone in the United States could do something similar here. I would love to see what some of my neighbors are doing with their homes to help the environment, maybe there’s something that I can incorporate into my house.

Women’s Baseball Day - On this day in 1875, the first public women’s baseball game was played in Springfield, Illinois. The fans were charged an entrance fee and the women were paid to play. So it was seriously legit for that time. The teams were named the Blondes and the Brunettes. Really? Yes, really. Well, remember that this was in 1875 and women still wore dresses that covered every inch of their bodies and still really couldn’t do much of anything without permission from their husbands or fathers.
National Grandparent's Day – Celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, this is a day to celebrate Grandparents.

She finally was able to get it through to President Jimmy Carter in 1978 and he signed it into law.
