8 Ways to Make an Ordinary Day Special

It’s the little things you do that sometimes make the biggest impression. It’s the special touch that you add that makes the ordinary extraordinary!

Here are a few ideas:

1) Celebrate half birthdays with half a birthday cake.
2) Celebrate your pet’s birthday.
3) Make a tape of a cheering crowd, play it back to a family member that’s done something terrific.
4) Serve sparkling apple juice in wineglasses to toast a family member’s accomplishments.
5) Start a party idea file - refer to it when entertaining.
6) Visit a local farm in the summer and pick your own fruit.
7) Surprise your child by dropping chores for the day and doing something spontaneous together.
8) Plan a ‘this is your life’ celebration for a loved one’s birthday.
