Bean Day (additional information)
The Bean
Bean Varieties
Considering the breadth and depth of this topic I'm going to leave y'all to find your own recipes or what have you for bean day. My favorite bean is the green one. Green beans are delish to me.
I saw a suggestion to read "Jack and the Beanstalk", I like it!  Haven't read that story in years.
Or you could watch it!  Here's the version from 2010.  Or there is this one, modernized.

Cuddle Up Day (additional information)

Life tip: Always have a cuddle buddy.
My hub is a cuddle buddy of course, but I do have a girl cuddle buddy!

This is my kindred, Hillary, and she lived with us for a while and we became cuddle buddies.  We would cuddle on the couch while watching Hannah Montana (don't judge) and on our laptops. Hillary's love language is touch so cuddling is something she does a lot of!  Watch out, she will even cuddle with strangers on airplanes! :)






Three Kings Day
The Visit Of The Wise Men (Matthew 2:1-12)
Why gold, frankincense, and myrrh?
History of Three Kings Day, otherwise known as Epiphany
Three Kings Day Ideas - food, games, gifts
Gingersnaps to represent the spices the wise men brought. (even though frankincense and myrrh are not spices you would want in cookies!)

The three kings even got their own song for their participation! 


Apple Tree Day
How to Grow Apple Trees
I think this is a weird one to celebrate in January.  I'm not going to be planting any trees, today or any other day, but I will gladly eat an apple, drink some cider, and be very grateful for the apple. I do love them!
Will an apple a day keep the doctor away?

Shortbread Day
What is the history and cultural associations for shortbread?
A good authentic shortbread recipe
Don't have the time to bake your own?  Or maybe the nerve? Walkers is the BEST shortbread, so worth it!

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.
