Joyful Mondays!

Trying out a new format.   Instead of the "What to Celebrate" tab, I'm switching to make every Monday a joyful day.  I believe we can celebrate every day and following quirky holidays is one way to do that.  There will be activities you can use throughout the month, a new theme each day!
