Happy Leap Day

Happy Leap Day!

Make this day memorable and enjoy every extra minute of this extra day!

Plan something fun to mark the every 4 year celebration of February 29, aka, Leap Day!

Read my post below for some fun ways to celebrate!

What are your plans for this day?

POST SCRIPT: I was talking with a friend about Leap Days Past, Present, and Future when I realized that the next Leap Day, I will have 2 Teenage Daughters. It is also possible that I will have 3 Daughters In Law (Andrew will most certainly be married in 4 years....watch out!) and I may be a Grandmother. This perspective made me stop to think seriously about what I want to have happen in the next 4 years and what I will do to make it happen. I like milestone events to measure progress and motivate me.

Two More Days Til Leap Day

What will you do to celebrate?

What will you do with one extra day?

See my Leap Day/ Leap Year Ideas Here

Read below for a few fresh ideas and a fun recipe suggestion.

Since everything is backwards, remember it is ladies choice.

Have you asked your sweetie out for a date or planned a date night at home?

If you don't want to eat your meal backwards, how about breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast?

Just do something out of the ordinary and have fun! After all, you will have to wait 4 more years to celebrate again!

I am planning to make a big Belgian Waffle Dinner and Some sort of salad for breakfast..maybe Frog Eye Salad!

Share your ideas!

Leap Year

Get Ready For Leap Day This Leap Year

Hop, oh I mean, Leap, To The Target Dollar Spot

Hooray for Leap Day....an extra day every 4 years. The party animal in me looks at this as a day for celebrating! An extra day.... and extra party!!!

How convenient that this Leap Day falls on a Friday... a perfect night for hosting a party!

I found these frogs at the Target Dollar Spot. I will use them in some sort of centerpiece, decorating, or party favor for Leap Day.

Leap Day is the day we eat our meal in reverse... Dessert First, Appetizers last, etc.

If you are up for it, do everything backwards, eating, reversing the chairs, using the back door for guests, wearing you clothes backwards, sleep with your head at the foot of the bed, etc.

Have fun with a theme that only presents itself every 4 years.

Here Is My Fun Leap Day Memory!

On Leap Day, 28 years ago, Ron and I went to a Ladies Choice Ball...He was my choice! We went went to The De la Fontana Restaurant in Salt Lake and the dance was held at the Utah State Capitol Building Rotunda. I think the meal cost me almost an entire week's pay (not really, but at that time, it felt like it. Later, Ron told me how guilty he felt that I paid for such a nice dinner when I did not have much money and he had a full time good paying job)

While we were at the dance, in keeping with the spirit of Leap Year/ Leap Day, a girl asked her boyfriend to marry her. As the proposal and engagement were announced, being the impulsive person I am, I thought to myself, I should ask Ron to marry me right here and now. Of course, I thought twice and realized the timing was off and we had not known each other that long, etc..... However, I already knew he was my choice, but it was good I did not ask, as he was not as far along in his thoughts as I was.

Just what will you do with an extra day this year??????
