Education and Information
NATIONAL STRETCHING DAY has us reaching, bending and twisting. This holiday comes to us from Stretch Zone – a company that specializes in stretching. Founded by Jordan Gold, he came up with a patented system to help with mobility and range of motion after watching his grandfather deteriorate from diabetes. Make sure and incorporate this facet of health into your everyday life.
For Fun
NATIONAL APP DAY declares that – there is an app for that. Where would we be without the plethora of precious playable programs that proliferate our lives? Lost, maybe – bored – certainly.
On Today’s Menu…
NOODLE RING DAY goes round and round as we celebrate the pasta that never ends. Take some noodles – preferably circular shaped – add flour, cheese, breadcrumbs and whatever else you want to a Bundt cake pan – bake and eat. Don’t forget SpaghettiOs, they count for the day as well.
