The first Friday of June is National Doughnut Day!  So what does that mean?  Well, it’s a day that just goes from normal to a little extra special because we are celebrating something out of the ordinary.  Kids love to celebrate… we love to celebrate!  So let’s be more intentional about creating fun memories by slating in a few more days with celebration and excitement this year.

Here is a list of fun national holidays that you might want to sprinkle on your calendar.  I mean what kid wouldn’t be excited to celebrate Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on August 3rd or National S’mores Day on August 10th.  Check out the list below and find your favorites!  Also, don’t forget to enjoy your doughnut tomorrow!  If you live near a Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’ Donuts, or Lamar’s you can get one FREE doughnut on June 7th, 2019. Yay!
