Newspaper Carrier Day
An almost extinct job but with a long history.
National Newspaper Carrier Day celebrates the history of newspaper delivery that stemmed from enterprising kids
In high school one of my besties delivered newspapers in the mornings before school. She and her siblings did it at the direction of her Dad. I never did do it, nor did my brothers, I thought it seemed complicated - trying to drive and throw a newspaper to the right driveway.  I'm pretty sure I would have caused many accidents, both car and broken windows, etc. *grin*


Lazy Mom's Days
HA!  Even when it looks like we are being lazy we aren't. There is always something going on in my mind about parenting my children.  For example, while working on my blog earlier today I remembered I needed to fill out some online paperwork for the redheads and their schooling. So I stopped what I was doing to get that done.  I'm not sure if I could be lazy, even trying! Sure, I may be binge watching some show on Netflix but while I'm watching I'm also creating a grocery list, going through a pile of papers that has built up, updating our family calendar, doing loads of laundry, etc. You get the picture.  Us Mama's might think being lazy is a great goal, but it's really only a theory, not a reality.

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
