Boy Scout Day
The Founders of the Boy Scouts
The Mission & Vision Statement
In 2010 the Boy Scouts celebrated their 100th Anniversary by converging on Washington D.C. Unfortunately, for our family, we ended up there the same week. SIGH. Every national monument, museum, etc that we wanted to go to was overtaken by Boy Scouts, 50,000 of them. Because of them we didn't get into the National Archives, a Spy Museum, the Holocaust Museum, and a few other places. It was incredibly frustrating. Many stayed at the same hotel we did and the breakfast every morning was literally overrun with boy scouts. Needless to say the boy scouts have made us a little bitter. :)
Kite Flying Day
Not quite sure why this holiday is held in February where the chances of flying a kite in the northern hemisphere are little to none, perhaps this is a southern hemisphere holiday!
The Invention and History of Kites
Chinese Kites
Molasses Bar Day
It's taken me a long time to like Molasses, and even now it can't be too dark or too strong. I can take it in small amounts so I'm not too sure if Molasses Bars are the thing for me. How do you feel about Molasses?
What Exactly Is Molasses, Anyway?

Laugh and Get Rich Day
I'm not sure what to say about this BUT I do believe that the richest we can be is in relationships. True wealth isn't found in piles of money and acquired stuff, it's found in the people who you allow to be part of your life.
Opera Day
All you've ever wondered or wanted to know about Opera
Here's what comes to mind when I think of Opera, don't judge! *wink*
World Marriage Day
Marriage is not for the faint of heart, can I get an amen? It's tough and fun and hard and lovely. It requires that we consider others and learn and live that we are not the center of the universe. Your spouse will push buttons you didn't even know you had and you will do the same to them. Marriage means you have someone to lay next to on the nights when the days have sucked you dry and you can barely breathe. Marriage is awesome and awful! I have a Pinterest board for marriage articles, funnies, etc. Feel free to check it out by clicking here.
