April 7th – Are you ready to start a whole new week? Instead of looking at it in a negative way, look at Monday as a fresh start, a blank slate, a new road to journey on. The more positive you feel, the more productive you’ll be, and before you know it, Friday will slap you right in the face! You won’t know where the week went. So let’s start the week off by learning a few new facts:

1827 - English Chemist, John Walker, Invents Wooden Matches – Lighting lanterns, candles and starting a log fire to warm up the home is much easier.  I love the homely scent of burning wood, the crackling of the fire, the concentrated heat emitted from the fireplace. Plow and Hearth has everything I need for my fireplace from wood racks to tool sets and flat wood – and it’s all 10% off.

1891 – Nebraska Introduces 8 Hour Working Day – Thank You, Nebraska! If you can’t tell, I’m being extremely sarcastic! I would’ve preferred this – work 10am – 1pm Monday through Thursday, and then have three days off. Now that’s more like it, eh? Since that will NEVER happen, you can stay energized by regularly taking vitamins and supplements in addition to healthy eating and exercise. Get yours from Puritans Pride for 10% off.

Famous Birthday:

Ole Kirk Christiansen (April 7th 1891 – 1958) - He was a carpenter who made children’s toys. He created a toy with interlocking blocks and named it Leg Godt, which means “play well” in Danish. Today it’s known as LEGO, which encourages creative-yet-logical thinking from children. Toys that help our children expand their imagination are a great investment.
