Goddess of Fertility Day
According to mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of fertility (among other things).  But she isn't the only one that carries the ability to enable fertility, here's a complete list - it is quite extensive!
Well, you can try leaning on one of the goddesses listed. I personally don't recommend it but you could try. But if you want to know about the real science of fertility then I've done some research for you. :)

Forgive Mom & Dad Day
Hey listen, we all do the best with what we know, with what has been modeled - or not - for us.  So if you've been mad at your mom and/or dad for how they parented - or didn't - you, then take some time today to recognize what may have been modeled for them.  What did they have to "work with"?  And then realize that nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes, and forgiveness is the best way to move forward.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
