Do you ever look at the calendar and wish you knew what cool holidays and special days were coming up but didn’t want to take the time to scour the internet to find out?
I have!
Many times. 😆
So, I created this February holidays, national days, and fun days for me AND for you! 🎉
There’s a lot of really cute holidays to take notice of, but my personal favs are:
- Feb 1 – National Get Up Day: a day to remember that even after the hardest fall, you still have the strength to stand back up and get back on the horse again
- Feb 2 – Self Renewal Day: all year long you focus on everyone else’s needs. This day is designed for you to remember to take care of your own needs, wants, and desires too- because you matter and you’re worth caring for ❤️
- Feb 14 – Valentine’s Day: a day focusing on love, treasuring those you love and who love you
- Feb – Black History Month: we are ALL God’s children, created equally, regardless of the color of our skin!
- Feb – Pink Shirt Day (last Wednesday in February): because I LOVE pink! 🎀
- Feb – Freelance Writers Appreciation Week (second full week of February): if you’re a blogger and have people helping you, this is a great week to celebrate 🥰
