When the average person is asked what they think of when they think of “April” they typically all say the same thing: springtime. While yes, April is a time of new beginnings and a time of bloom and growth, that is not the only beauty April has to offer. There are a multitude of reasons to celebrate April with special days and unconventional holidays to observe that may just make your April this year a smidge more joyful with a spoonful of sweet (no, I’m not talking about the candy in your Easter baskets). Below I included some of my favorites, and you can find even more by referencing the source I linked below- enjoy!
