May 1, 2022 - National Mother Goose Day | National Lemonade Day

Welcome to May 1, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate nursery rhymes and sweet success. We all grew up learning rhymes about a cat playing a fiddle and little piggies going to the market, but probably never questioned where they came from. To be honest, the origin of nursery rhymes isn’t really clear, since they were passed down by word of mouth for centuries. The first time these children’s poems were collected in print was in the book Tales of My Mother Goose way back in 1695. And over the years, that title got turned into the name of an author—the most beloved poet who never existed. If you happen to see cows jumping over the moon or find that your flatware ran off with your plates today, don’t worry! It’s just National Mother Goose Day! When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. The first Sunday of May invites you to visit the website lemonadeday.org to find new ways to inspire young people and their lemonade stand businesses. This organization teaches them to first, set a goal, second, make a plan, third, work the plan and fourth, achieve your dream. Of course you’ll want to get a jump start on the planning so your kids can have every opportunity to succeed. What better way to learn about running a small business than by starting one? On National Lemonade Day don’t forget to kick back and sip the juicy rewards! I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
