Looking forward to something today? Make it a mini party! More play in your day is the Good Times Glue for close-knit family and friends, and puts the “extra” in an extraordinary life.
Don’t wait for the “big event” to celebrate.
Take time today to celebrate the little things.
We believe that it’s important to put more play in your every day to build happy memories and use Good Times Glue to bind the hearts of family and friends.
Here are a few ideas of things that are out of the ordinary, worthy of a mini party:
- the beginning or ending of a project
- your child’s recital, sporting event or good report
- season premiere or finale of your favorite TV series
- binge party for a new show
- friend visiting that you haven’t seen for awhile
- new haircut, outfit or eyeglasses that make you feel fabulous
- new decor in your home that you want to show off
- the season opener of your favorite team
- premier of a highly-anticipated movie
- absolutely anything
Don’t have a reason to celebrate today?
There’s a reason to celebrate every day with daily holidays.
See our list of National Day of & daily celebrations for every day of the year. Some are funny, some are yummy and others teach you something.
All give you a reason to celebrate, to play, to have fun with family and friends. We show you how from easy to awesome!
