A Blogger’s List of National Days

There’s a “National” day for EVERYTHING….we Americans LOVE celebrating!

As a blogger it seems like I’m always behind on knowing exactly when National days are….you know what I mean….like National Tortellini Day (it’s February 13th!) or National Fried Chicken Day (July 6th) or even National Ice Cream Day (July 19th)!  With so many “National” days it’s a lot to keep up with!

I feel like everyone knows about these secret “National” days except for me….I usually realize it’s about to be National Chocolate Chip Cookie day like 3 days before hand thanks to Pinterest…..I mean what on Earth would we do without Pinterest….how would we ever know what “National” day it is?! 😉

So, for those of you a little lost like me, I have compiled a list of the most popular “National” days…that way you can be prepared as well! 🙂  Amazingly enough….we REALLY REALLY REALLY love to celebrate food!
