Today on the Morning Thing, we celebrated Happiness Happens day! This is a day to do what makes you happy and to do things to make others happy! How do you celebrate Happiness Happens Day? With pink lemonade, of course! Did you know that the pink in pink lemonade is not from pink lemons, but from cranberry juice? Click HERE for a recipe.

We also celebrated Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor’s Porch Day (no, we’re not making this up). To read about this wacky holiday, click HERE! For some yummy zucchini recipes from cheesy tots to cookies, click HERE! As always, thanks for listening!
