About Us

Hi, I’m Clare Brown. Weird Holidays started because I noticed how much fun people have when there’s a reason, any reason, to celebrate.

I’ve always loved turning ordinary days into something a little more memorable, whether that’s a themed activity, a small tradition, or just an excuse to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Over time, I kept spotting quirky calendar holidays and realized how perfect they were for adding easy joy without any pressure.

From Bubble Wrap Day to National Nap Day, these quirky calendar moments add a bit of joy to otherwise ordinary weeks. This site collects them all in one place and makes them easy to actually use.

Here you’ll find:

  • Quick background on each holiday
  • Simple celebration ideas
  • Free coloring pages and printables
  • Recipes and activities when they fit

It’s designed for anyone who enjoys small traditions, parents, teachers, bloggers, or just people who like an excuse to do something different on a Tuesday.

I also run Homeschool of 1, where I share educational printables and resources. Weird Holidays grew naturally from that love of creative learning and low-pressure fun.

If you want to see what else I’m working on, you can find me at ClareBrown.net.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make ordinary days a little less ordinary.
