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.

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. 

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after."
