January 26: National Green Juice Day, National Spouses Day, National Peanut Brittle Day, and National Seed Swap Day.

🍹National Green Juice Day! The holidays may be over, but the New Year celebration and commitments to our resolutions persevere with National Green Juice Day. National Green Juice Day was established in 2016 as a way to encourage people to stick to their health and wellness resolutions by drinking a green juice. There are several veggie-centric ways to celebrate and inspire health and wellness habits in the New Year. After finding that more than 50 percent of Americans break their New Year’s resolutions by the end of January, Evolution Fresh founded National Green Juice Day in 2016 as a way to empower people to press ahead with their wellness resolutions by drinking a green juice.

👰🤵National Spouses Day! Dedicated to recognizing spouses everywhere, National Spouses Day reminds us to take time for our mate. From being thankful for fulfillment and security of a long-term relationship to the boost of morale and well-being provided by spouses, there are many reasons to celebrate. This day is a time to show your spouse that you care and appreciate all of the things that he or she does for you and the home. Life gets busy, and we can often take for granted how our spouse improves our life. Pay a heartfelt thank you or compliment to the love of your life. National Spouses Day is a non-gift giving day, so spend time together and reconnect. Don’t forget to say, “I love you.”

🥜National Peanut Brittle Day! A hard, flat candy confection, peanut brittle includes caramelized sugar or corn syrup. Nuts are added to the molten sugar and then pour onto a flat surface such as granite or marble and smoothed into a thin sheet. The candy cools into a hard, brittle treat that is broken into smaller pieces. Some of the best brittles are hand stretch into a thin, easily cracked candy that melts in the mouth. The history of peanut brittle is uncertain, though one legend says it was all a mistake. The story goes that a southern woman was making taffy and instead of using cream of tartar, she used baking soda by accident.

🔄National Seed Swap Day! The seed swap is a fundamental part of human history. Seeds were one of the first commodities valued and traded. Today, modern gardeners collect and exchange seeds for many reasons ranging from cultivating rare, heirloom varieties to basic thrift. The exchange of seeds perpetuates biodiversity. It is an act of giving and the ultimate form of recycling. The first annual Washington Gardener Magazine Seed Exchange was held in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2006. Kathy Jentz, the editor/publisher of the magazine had the last Saturday of January named an official holiday and National Seed Swap Day was born. After that event’s success, seed swaps in other cities across the nation have joined in celebrating National Seed Swap Day.

I'll just break my New Years resolutions before drinking green juice. I'm thankful for my husband😍 every day, I don't know what I would do without him. I'm not a fan of peanut brittle. And I've never heard of seed swap day.

If I read the weather report right we're to gradually warm up to around 40 degrees, then drop back down to the single digits.

Sending warm hugs!🐶🐶💕❄️⛄️💕
