Now that we are halfway through the month of March, the days are getting longer and spring is just around the corner. What a perfect time for the start of National Spring Fever Week! How are you celebrating spring? It’s a great time to do some spring cleaning or plan a weekend getaway!

This week also includes two events that surely signify spring is almost here…St. Patrick’s Day and the start of March Madness! Whether you’re hosting an informal St. Patty’s Day dinner or are heading to the bars to celebrate and watch college hoops, we have everything you need to get started. Start planning your party!

This week’s other reasons to celebrate include:

Since MyPunchbowl launched Reasons to Celebrate last July, we’ve been sharing these quirky daily holidays with our followers on Facebook and Twitter. Our friends tell their friends about the day’s reason to celebrate — whether it’s National Coffee Day or National Bubble Bath Day — and before you know it we have fifteen people discussing their favorite pies on our Facebook page (seriously, National Pie Day was this past Saturday, January 23).

I wanted to let you know that we just launched a new FREE widget for your blog so that you can keep your readers in the know about the daily reasons to celebrate. With days like National Cupcake Day, Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, and National Go Barefoot Day, there’s an amusing new reason to celebrate every day of the year.

The widget contains unique tidbits about the day’s Reason to Celebrate and gives your readers the ability to look ahead at upcoming holidays. It is also available in two sizes - check it out on our blog to the right.

Add the Reasons to Celebrate widget to your blog and let us know what you think!
