Know what day it is?

November 20th marks "Universal Children's Day" according to the United Nations. It is a day to promote understanding among children, benefit the welfare of children, and to celebrate childhood.

I don't know about you, but every day is about my child. It is always children's day in this house!

So while I wish her & the other kids out there a happy Universal Children's Day, I will instead devote this post to a celebration of my own childhood.

For me, childhood happiness was...

• Homemade play-dough
• A blue & white swing set
• Riding bicycles in the cul-de-sac
• Summertime trips to the beach
• Spitting watermelon seeds over the porch railing
• Making whirlpools in our round backyard pool
• Care Bears, Monchichis, and Cabbage Patch Kids
• My first record player - and first cassette player
• Sledding with neighbors after a winter's snow

Happy Universal Children's Day!
