National Visit Your Relatives Day is celebrated on May 18. It is a day dedicated to spending time with your loved ones and cherishing family time. With the advent of the digital age, while it has become easier to connect with our relatives, the fast pace of our lives has added to the distance even more. The day reminds us to take a moment to appreciate having a family and taking time out to visit or call the relatives we haven’t contacted in a while.
National Clean Your Room Day
With the exception of people who are born organized neat freaks, we can all admit our rooms can get chaotic from time to time. To the delight of parents and more polished family and friends, May 10 is National Clean Your Room Day. Research into the holiday doesn’t reveal who founded it, but for those of us who may need it (or have family, friends, and roommates who do), it’s nice to have a holiday that reminds us to get our act together — starting with our rooms!
National Women’s Checkup Day
We jump at any chance to celebrate women and their importance in our lives, which is why we love National Women’s Checkup Day, held every year on the second Monday in May, on May 11 this year. To continue a bit of a theme, this day comes up right after the world celebrates Mother’s Day. In fact, it is celebrated on the Monday directly after Mother’s Day. Held to focus on the importance of regular checkups and doctor’s visits, this day encourages all women to take more steps and maintain better health.
