BANNERS: Houseplant Appreciation Day | January 10

We love our houseplants, don't you? After the Christmas tree is put away for yet another year, we still need some greenery to lift our spirits and what better way to do so than with houseplants. Not only do they provide some greenery during the drab winter months, but they purify the air!

Houseplant Appreciation Day was created by The Gardner's Network to remind us to give our houseplants a little attention and to encourage us to grow and keep houseplants, especially in the winter months.


Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day!!

BANNERS: National SPAGHETTI Day | January 4

Today is National Spaghetti Day, a day celebrating that long, thin, cylindrical, solid pasta that we all love to twirl before gobbling down.

Did you know, the word spaghetti literally means "little lines"? 

We all naturally think of spaghetti as an Italian dish but long before it became a staple in Italian cuisine, families in central Asia were eating similar noodle dishes. As early as the 5th century, nomadic Arabs likely brought the meal westward. The Italians, however, revolutionized the dish, inventing a wide variety of pasta shapes along the way.

Happy National Spaghetti Day!
