I have dedicated 2020 to truly taking in all the small moments and to making fun memories with my kids. Join me in my New Year's resolution and take time to celebrate each day, no matter how wacky the holiday may seem. For every month in 2020 you can download and print a fun kid calendar and put it on your fridge as a reminder to celebrate a few fun holidays every month with your kids. Download January's calendar here:
This month you won't want to miss:
January 1 - New Year's Day
January 4 - National Spaghetti Day
- Celebrate by visiting one of the many local authentic Italian restaurants we have in Cobb County.
January 8 - National Take the Stairs Day
- Thomas Jefferson lived to be 83 at a time when the life expectancy was 40 years old, and he walked 4 miles every day. So, instead of taking an elevator or escalator, try walking up the stairs today instead.
January 10 - Houseplant Appreciation Day
- Having a child take care of a houseplant is a good way to teach responsibility and open the conversation about how things grow from seeds.

January 25 - National Seed Swap Day
- Have some friends over and invite each one of them to bring one seed packet (or multiple packets depending on how many people you are inviting). It's up to you to determine if they should be flowers, vegetables or fruits, or a mixture of all three. Gather up some newspaper, purchase some soil, and you're all set to make your own Newspaper Seed Planters. Share the seeds with each other, and you'll each have a variety of plants to enjoy this spring!
January 26 - National Spouses Day
- It's a great day for a date night with your spouse! Whether you hire a sitter and go out, or wait until the kids are in bed, plan a night to enjoy together. Play a game, try a new recipe, go do something you've been wanting to try ... whatever you decide, you'll be glad you did!
