Today marks the first ever (Un)National No Reason Day! What is that you ask? Well, my youngest munchkin, Amber, decided to make today a holiday where she wanted to bless her mama for no reason. She presented me with both a card and high hopes this would become a family holiday. I helped her define what exactly the holiday entails (she tends to have beautifully large and creative ideas), and how often we might want to celebrate it. So without further adieu, I present to you…
(Un)National No Reason Day is celebrated each month on the 24th by doing something for someone else for no reason other than to make them smile. Isn’t that a perfect reason for a holiday? We think so. Your gift can be as simple as giving someone a hug, or grandiose like planning a special outing. It can cost nothing or something, be little or big, simple or complex. It’s all about making someone feel good just because.
Amber is making a treat for our family to enjoy, and I’m making a point to look for opportunities to love on each of my kids. Lots of hugs, more yeses, and sweet messages.
I hope you join us in making this holiday a monthly event of spreading a little joy in the world. I even made a button you can snag because everyone loves buttons, of course. If you could help spread the word, Amber would be thrilled. We would love to know how you choose to celebrate (Un)National No Reason Day today.

Thanks, Heather. I just made it up while making a card for mom and named it, so that’s how I began the holiday. I really liked the idea so I went with it.

Naps! You honored my blog with a comment. We will definitely keep this going each and every month. It’s going on our calendars and should become a family tradition. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
