Women Are AWESOME
The first time I heard of this special day was in 2010 when I saw a Facebook status about it. Which is odd because this special day has been celebrated since the early 1900s! As it should because women are AWESOME!
International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March every year. Since my birthday was on March 6th, we made plans to go eat at a restaurant today! So Yay me!
I don’t have to cook OR do the dishes!!!
I want to wish all the women out there a Happy International Women’s day! You are all worthy of being loved, appreciated and understood. Enjoy this wonderful day doing the things you love with the people that love and appreciate you!
You can check out this site here for more details about “Women’s Day“.
How are you celebrating International Women’s Day this year? Love hearing from you guys!

Whoa I can’t believe I almost forgot. I love that there is a day set to celebrate & honor womanhood! Today I’m going on a little shopping date with my cousin Jasmine. Happy International Women’s Day and Happy Birthday weekend!
I hadn’t heard about this until this year, but I didn’t do much other than spend the day with my hubby today. We ate A LOT and just had fun together. We need that every now and then.
I hadn’t heard of it either, but for me everyday is woman’s day 🙂
I hadn’t heard of it until today when I read about it on a few other blogs. Every day should be women’s day! 🙂
As a male, I’m celebrating by keeping my big fat mouth shut. Enjoy your day!
Admittedly, it’s not a date that I mark in my calendar. As it fell on a weekend this year, you can say I celebrated it by doing things I love, i.e. waking up in my own time and catching up on a Kindle read. I’m surprise that: “In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday.” It should be here too! 😀
I too found out about International Womens Day via a Facebook post. I was shocked it’s been around for so long. Yet, many aren’t aware of this day.
I totally forgot about this day! I celebrated in a way by spending time with some of the women in my life. And LOL at Scott up above.
I treated my son to lunch and a movie – he’s 4.5 so dates with mom are super fun! Then, I cleaned and organized my linen closet – it doesn’t sound like much fun, but it was rewarding! Last night, after the little one was tucked into bed, I chatted with my mom over FaceTime with a glass of wine. It was a wonderful day overall.
I just realized such a holiday existed by reading blogs the last few days. Seems like a cool day to celebrate.
I wish I would have known ahead of time as I would have celebrated it. I will have to mark my calendar for next year. I did celebrate Mompreneur day which is January 2. Will celebrate both next year. Thanks!!
This year is the first year I recall hearing about it. Women should be treated that way every day, there shouldn’t need to be a special day for it.

I learned about Women’s Day this year from other bloggers. I think it’s cool that in some countries it is a national holiday.
I have to admit I didn’t realise it was coming up till the last minute so I didn’t do anything – next year I’m hoping to be a bit more organised and hopefully get something done. x
I agree women are awesome:) I did not even hear about this until this year so I am really behind the times (LOL)
I honestly forgot about it this year! happy International Women’s Day to you. We are indeed awesome!
Belated happy birthday, Maricel! My cousin celebrated the same birth day as you.. just thought of sharring.. 🙂
Happy birthday (a little belated)! I celebrated by doing nothing! I took a nap and didn’t get on the computer at all. Then I went out with my aunt. It was fun!
It’s great that we have a day dedicated to us! Also, Happy belated birthday! 🙂
I only just heard about this day a week ago so I didn’t have any celebrations planned. Women should be celebrated like this everyday! And happy belated birthday to you!
I had never heard of this either until this year, thanks to Facebook. There are so many “Holidays”! I like this one, women need to be celebrated!
Happy International Women’s Day to You too! It is an awesome time to celebrate women and to recommit to help be the change…
Happy international Women’s day! It’s a great way to not only celebrate women but remember how women all over the world are still disadvantaged economically and socially compared to men.
Happy international women’s day to you Marielle! <3 May we continue to rock the blogosphere with our female powers!
I enjoyed reading your post and the comments too. I’m with Scott:=)
Happy International Day to all of us women! We sure deserve it!
Wow! I didn’t even know this day existed. How exciting for us women!!!
It’s my first time to know that it’s International women’s day 🙂 Happy IWD to you too!
I too learned of this day through Facebook. Happy International Women’s Day to you too. Google had a great video of women all around the world.
I actually heard it a few years ago when many groups of women marching at the plaza. Happy International Woman’s Day!!!
You go girls, I’d love to see women doing it in this man’s world.
