Today is a day for hugging your kid and eating lollipops. July 20th is National Hug Your Kid Day and National Lollipop Day. National Hug Your Kid Day was founded by a mom in Reno, Nevada who lost her son to cancer, and wanted to remind all parents to hug their children and to never take that simple but significant act for granted. National Lollipop Day was put in place by the National Confectioner's Association as a way to recognize a classic and well-loved sweet treat. So take time today to eat a lollipop and hug your kid... the two activities go perfectly together.
