There is National Mustard Day, but would you believe that there is no official National Ketchup Day?! I don’t dislike mustard, but ketchup is the king of condiments in my book. So to honor Henry John Heinz’s birthday today, the founder of the H.J. Heinz Company, we here at Who Wants To Know? would like [...]
Believe it or not, there is an entire day dedicated to honoring “My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It” And that day is today. Hmmm. I wasn’t able to find just one meaning of why it is celebrated–but with a national day with a name like that, how can you not celebrate? Whether you use [...]

The CDC dedicated the entire month of May to stroke awareness. May 20th is a specific day of the month that we can all stop and take a moment to educate ourselves and our loved ones about the third leading cause of death in the United States.

On May 16, 1965 Spaghetti-O’s were born. I can’t imagine my life without them. Seriously. For as long as I can remember celebrating a birthday I have had spaghetti-o’s as a part of it. It was my favorite childhood food group (with pizza and mac and cheese a close 2nd and 3rd, respectively). So happy [...]
I haven’t been to a movie in an actual theatre in a very long time. (years) This fact is a little bit amusing considering I used to work in the film industry and part of my job was to see as many movies as I could cram into my weekends. I went to the movies [...]
On May 13, 1938, Louis Armstrong and his orchestra recorded the New Orleans jazz classic, “When the Saints Go Marching In.” I would love to teleport myself into that recording studio–I am big jazz fan, and can only imagine the energy and talent all under that one roof. Listen to a little jazz music today!
Next week, I am hopping in the car and taking a road trip with my husband. We won’t have our little boy with us–that’s a whole other type of road trip! I am very meticulous about packing for any trip, but especially road trips. I want to be prepared for lots of different situations–stuck in [...]

As I was reflecting on mother’s day this week, I realized that my relationships with mom friends I have forged along the way have been my lifeline. As grateful [...]
