Housewife's Day- 3 November

If you are a stay home mother or a full time housewife you probably feel that you are not as appreciated as you deserve for your efforts and your hard work at home. You probably will be happy to hear that there is a day devoted to the housewife that will make you feel different. November 3 is a day of appreciation for housewives around the world, the day the housekeeper is honored for caring for the house, which is not self-evident.

The source of this day is not clear, but the suspicion is that it was created by a real housewife, someone who felt exhausted and unappreciated, someone who felt that the environment scorned the work of the housewife. Soon her idea stirred up enthusiasm and in various countries (especially in the US) began to mark him as housewife gifts like a spa day, a pampering dinner or anything that would do her good and make her feel how important she is.

Some funny quotes about cleaning the house:

Checklist Day- 30 October

If you live in the modern world, you probably know the checklist, the list of tasks that needs to be done. Next to each chore There is an empty square where you mark ✔ after the task is done.

On 30 October they mark the day of CheckList, a day to remind everyone of the existence of this useful list and encourage them to use it.

The reason for choosing this day is tragic. On this date in 1935, the Boeing 299 (early version of B-17) American military crashed at takeoff due to a control system malfunction that could have been detected earlier if only had been checked.

Since then pilots have tried to find out how to prevent such accidents in the future and decided to use the list of tasks that must be performed before the takeoff. This list was called Check List, and has since been used by many people, not just pilots.  

How do you celebrate Check List? As you can guess, you have to make a list of things you need to do to celebrate this day, and make a ✔ on everything.

Happy check day!
