This month has all kinds of great and unique holidays and events that we want to highlight in today’s Wildwood Park Blog. Check them out and give yourself a reason to celebrate! We hope you have a great month celebrating at your apartment here in Arlington, VA!
International Women’s Day - March 8th
Women’s Day is celebrated this month to honor women who have made a difference and accomplished great things. “The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States on 28 February [1909]. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honour of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.” Celebrate by remembering the women in your life and those throughout history who have shaped our world.
Daylight Saving Time - March 11th
Although this day may not be a holiday to celebrate, it has an interesting history. Learn about some of the interesting facts from 8 Things You May Not Know About Daylight Saving Time written by History. This may dispel some of the things you thought to be true about Daylight Saving Time. Did you know that it wasn’t until 1966 that the Uniform Time Act standardized Daylight Saving Time in the United States? Some states though, still do not practice Daylight Saving Time including Hawaii and Arizona.
National Pi Day - March 14th
Pi Day or what we like to call Pie Day, is this month. Celebrate this holiday by making a pie at your apartment. We especially like this Almond Joy Pie from Life, Love and Sugar. This recipe has an Oreo crust with a creamy coconut filling. To make the filling you’ll need cornstarch, milk, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, flaked coconut, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
St. Patrick’s Day - March 17th
St. Patrick’s Day may be the most celebrated holiday in March. It’s a great time for kids to celebrate at school and enjoy all kinds of fun Irish-themed crafts. Celebrate by making an Irish dinner meal for family and friends. We love this Slow-Cooker Corned Beef Hash from Delish. To make it you’ll need corned beef, potatoes, an onion, extra-virgin olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, chopped parsley, and fried eggs.
