NATIONAL MUTT DAY

7/31/2018

JULY 31
NATIONAL MUTT DAY
We’ve heard people that are afraid of dogs refer to all dogs as “mutts.” Quite the contrary! A mutt is a dog of mixed or indeterminate breed. A mutt is also a stupid person or simpleton. How can you celebrate today? Take your mutt for a walk, take photos of him, paint him on a huge canvas and post on Facebook. Enjoy #pets #petlovers #petsmart #ArtEase123 #ArtEaseDillyDays

If eating hot dogs is something you enjoy, then maybe today’s YOUR day!

SHARK AWARENESS DAY

7/14/2018

JULY 14
SHARK AWARENESS DAY
Today is not a day to fear these “graceful” creatures, but to be more educated about them. Did you know that sharks have been on Earth for at least 420 million years!? Sharks, unlike most fish, don’t have bones, but cartilage. They have several ROWS of teeth and about 3,000 teeth! There are over 400 different species. And there's so much more to learn about how their unique bodies are made (inside and out) to glide through the ocean expertly, their superb night vision, unbelievable sense of smell, and detection capabilities. Take a little time today to illustrate a shark, or underwater habitat of a shark. #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays

NATIONAL FRENCH FRIES DAY

7/13/2018

JULY 13
NATIONAL FRENCH FRIES DAY
How hard can it be to celebrate today!? French fries can be found practically anywhere these days, the so-called "healthy" fries or otherwise. The first question is, WHICH style fries should you partake to celebrate? Steak cut, crinkle, straight, curly, tots, sweet potato, shoestring, waffle, or seasoned? The 2nd question: WHOSE fries should you choose today - McDonald's French fries, Chick-fil-a's waffle fries, homemade round-cut fries? Question 3 - what's your choice of condiment - classic ketchup, ranch dressing, honey mustard, Chick-fil-a Sauce!? Final question - anything else in/on there - smothered in melted cheese, topped with chopped hickory smoked bacon, covered in diced sautéed onions...? So many choices!!! INDULGE, and enjoy! :) #Chickfila #foodlove #hungry #tasty #dinner #ArtEase123 #ArtEase123DillyDays
