Frugal Fun Day is a day to enjoy fun activities that are free (or very
inexpensive). If you use your imagination, the ideas are endless. Go on a bike
or walking hike. The Fall leaves are on display. Have a picnic in the park, or
your back yard. Invite some friends or neighbors over for a garage party and
dance. Go fly a kite. Pull out the those old board games or puzzles that you
have stored in the basement. Play cards with some friends.
This special day was
created by Shel Horowitz, author of The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live
Like Royalty with a Peasant's Pocketbook. We strongly suspect Frugal Fun
Day was created, in part, to promote the book. Regardless
of the reason for creating this day, we see nothing wrong with having
a little inexpensive fun.
October
5, 2014 is World Teacher’s Day. Teachers deserve a little recognition, and some
thanks and appreciation. Aside from parents and direct family, who else has as
much influence on the hearts ann minds of a child... your child? Teachers
not only educate, but they help to shape and frame your child's beliefs,
values, and behaviors.
Parents and students are
encouraged to offer thanks and recognition today. A simple "thanks",
or an ecard is sufficient.
World Teachers' Day was
initiated by the Director-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor, at the
International Conference on Education in Geneva in 1993.
On October 5, 1966, a UNESCO
and the International Labour Organisation conference adopted a special
recommendation on Teachers. The date of this event was selected as the date to
annually honor and recognize teachers around the world.
If you are a teacher, Happy
World Teacher Day!
