Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day
National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day may inspire some baking…
While preparations have begun for those going back to school, there’s still lots of summer to be enjoyed. 
I checked out the fun holidays happening this month, and many of them involve food. What a surprise.
At any rate, since sending children and young adults off to school and college can evoke a variety of emotions, I thought you might appreciate some lighthearted days to celebrate.
For those of you who aren’t concerned with school supplies and dorm room bedding, may you take full advantage of the rest of summer– before the raking of leaves begins and everything is flavored pumpkin spice.
