Today is National Middle Child Day.......

NATIONAL MIDDLE CHILD DAY
Each year on August 12 National Middle Child Day is celebrated across the United States. This day gives special recognition to the middle child/children in the family.
It is believed, by many, that birth order plays a pivotal role in the personalities of children. The “Middle Child Syndrome” states that the first-born is often the leader and the role-player while the youngest one is always considered the baby of the family, therefore, leaving the middle child without a special “role”.
Birth order is known to contribute to the Big Five personality traits; extraversion, neutroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience.

Today is National Thrift Shop Day.



Though thrift shops have been generally replaced with discount department stores in modern times, the intent behind Thrift Shop Day still applies – save money and be economical by purchasing second-hand, repaired or simply cheaper products. Clothing, furniture and household goods are great examples of products which you may be able to find and purchase cheaply from thrift shops or discount stores.

Today is National Spumoni Day !!



Spumoni is a special Italian dessert made of layers of ice cream, whipped cream, candied fruit, and nuts. In Italy, it's spelled spumone, but pronounced exactly as it is pronounced in English, with an accent on the last vowel. Each layer of the dessert contains different flavors and ingredients. In traditional dessert kitchens, it's often made of three layers of flavor: chocolate, pistachio, and cherry.
