June Random Holidays – Add Some Fun, Creative, & Random Holidays to Your Calendar

June Random Holidays - add some fun, creative, & random holidays to your calendar | ChocolateMusings.com #junerandomholidays #randomholidays #celebrate

Summer is in full swing when the month of June hits our calendars. At least where we live. School schedules are quickly forgotten, but I love to add some June random holidays to celebrate to our calendar.

The holidays in June don’t disappoint, either. I love to separate the listed random holidays into different categories, as you can see below.

At the bottom of the post is a Google Calendar I created, which I share for free that includes my chosen random holidays. Don’t worry, I also included instructions on how to add the calendar to your view. You can always toggle it on and off, so it doesn’t clutter your regular schedule.

I certainly don’t include all the Random Holidays for any given month, so you’ll find a list of websites at the bottom of this post that you can search for additional holidays that suit your family. You can also check out the monthly archives.

The Random Holidays for June are separated into different sections like food, outdoors, and other holidays. I hope you find something (or a few) to celebrate this June!

Random Food Holidays in June

2 – Rotisserie Chicken Day – what’s your favorite chicken recipe? Mine is a good Chicken Salad recipe. Throw it on a croissant and I’m in heaven! Now, If only I could get my kids to eat chicken salad sandwiches.
3 – Egg Day
8 – Name Your Poison Day
11 – Corn on the Cob Day
17 – Eat Your Vegetables Day
22 – Onion Rings Day
29 – Waffle Iron Day

I know there are at least three random food holidays I plan to celebrate this June: corn on the cob day, eat your vegetables day and waffle iron day.

My kids LOVE vegetables, and that includes corn on the cob. Favorite veggies in our house are corn, cucumbers, steamed carrots, & lots of roasted vegetables like broccoli and asparagus. What are some of your favorites?

Anytime I have an excuse to do breakfast for dinner, I take it. The kids are also huge fans of waffles (well, two of them are, anyway). What better way to celebrate waffle iron day than plan dinner around this random holiday?

You could also paint some delicious-looking waffles to celebrate. I did that, too. When I was out west visiting family, we found a fun waffle chain called Waffle Luv. And boy, oh boy, did they have good waffles. I wish I could celebrate waffle iron day with them.

Celebrate With Some Sweet Treats


Besides creating something related to random holidays, the easiest way to celebrate something this June is to mark the day with food! The 27th is my oldest sons’ birthday. So I think an ice cream cake is ideal for celebrating his special day.

June Random Holidays to Celebrate Outdoors

Sometimes I need an excuse to go outside. I’m sure you know the feeling, it’s easy to stay inside after work and watch tv. These are a few excuses to get you outside and get you laughing. If not outside, then these June Random Holidays are excellent subjects for painting or doodling.

1 – Go Barefoot Day
1 – Nail Polish Day – Barefoot day & Nail Polish day go hand in hand or (I guess foot in foot). Either way, these two random holidays are perfect for starting off the month of June and certainly seem to fit together.
3 – Bicycle Day
5 – Hot Air Balloon Day
6 – Drive-in Movie Day – what a perfect summertime adventure!
8 – World Oceans Day
12 – Red Rose Day
22 – World Rainforest Day

Here are a few of my favorite drawings/paintings related to the outdoor holidays this month plus some stickers I created to celebrate days out of the house. There are so many more I’d like to add to this collection!

Random Holidays – Google Calendar

After celebrating different holidays for over a year, I decided to create a Google Calendar to see all the holidays I’d love to celebrate. It makes it easy to share creations, words, and ideas on social media and with friends and family. The best part about Google calendars is that you can toggle them on and off when you don’t want to see them.

If you click on the calendar item, it has a link to the source & relevant hashtags! I’m always evolving this calendar – and I will add calendar days or corrections all the time.

Tip: The calendar will show the current month, you can navigate to the month of your choice by using the arrows or dropdown.

If you want to add my calendar to your Google calendar:

  • Go to your Google calendars and click the + next to other calendars
  • Choose ‘add other calendars.’
  • Then click Subscribe to Calendar
  • After that, paste the text below in the “add calendar.”
  • Toggle the schedule on and off when you want to access it – that’s what I do.

chocolatemusings.com_q316ucpnldal611fs2q2nnk7v0@group.calendar.google.com

I won’t list all the random holidays, but just the ones that work with ChocolateMusings.com – so, of course, you’ll see a lot of food, art, creativity & some miscellaneous holidays are thrown in as well.

Plan With Me: June 2018 Beach + Ikea Display Room Method

May 31, 2018 6 Comments

In this plan with me for June 2018, I’ll show you how I used the Ikea Display Room Technique & gradually grew my journal to include only the pages I *really* wanted & needed. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by having too much in your planner, use some of these ideas to help eliminate unnecessary items in your bullet journal and find what’s truly important to you.

It started out this month with my bullet journal feeling like ‘too much’. Besides the fact that summer is the hardest for me to use my bullet journal simply because I get caught up in the ‘lazy days of planning’.

When your bullet journal seems to have ‘too much,’ take inspiration from Ikea’s display rooms and eliminate everything that takes up space. Condense, analyze what you truly need, then reset your planning for the future. I decided to follow those steps this month. Starting with just three pages and adding pages throughout the month as I needed them.

Plan With Me Video: June 2018

In the video below, I’ll show you from start to finish how I created this fun, beachy spread plus the other pages in my bullet journal this month. Crayola super tip markers – one medium I love for ‘painting’ in my journals. I started with absolutely no pencil marks, so you’ll see the whole planning process, doodles and all.

June 2018 Plan with Me Starting Pages

  • A Welcome page (not necessary but included because I love them, and you still need artwork even in a small space, and I needed something so I could turn the page and have the monthly plans on a two-page spread)
  • The monthly calendar page (with a daily habit tracker built-in)
  • Lastly, a monthly journaling page (one that I call All the Things with just the right amount of categories)

The welcome page is one of my all-time favorites. I started doing welcome pages last July, so this makes it my year anniversary of welcome pages! August 2017, January 2018, and June 2018 are my top 3 so far.

The Inspiration for June 2018 Plan With Me: Ikea Display Room

Have you ever been to Ikea where they display those ‘living in small areas’, and you see how beautifully arranged all the furniture is and still accommodates all the needs of the person living there? It’s fascinating how a small room can feel like it has everything you need. It’s a revelation to how much ‘extra stuff’ we keep just for the sake of keeping it.

When I was a little girl, I used to pretend in my room that my future house was the size of my bed or the size of my bedroom. It required immense creativity to decide where all my stuffed animals and art supplies would live in this small space. That’s where I got the inspiration for June’s plan with me.

What Small Spaces Require

Small spaces require organization, and you eliminate every unnecessary item. Each nook has a purpose (or two) and storage solutions are well-fitted for the area. When I visit Ikea, I wonder if I could honestly live in such a small square-footage. I’d like to think I could by myself, but definitely not with kids.

Well….that’s kind of what I did for June.

If you saw the plans for May, I condensed the weekly plans down to two weeks per spread. Thinking that was as small as I could get. I guess somewhere in the back of my head; my brain took that as a challenge.  Fitting everything in life into 52 dots x 38 dots (the width and height of my bullet journal) takes some creativity and planning.

Monthly Calendar

On the monthly calendar, I wanted a background for each of the boxes, kind of a washed-out background and I used two colors. I wish that Crayola markers had a number on them so I could tell you specifically the colors I used. But I used a water pen to blend the colors from the drawn boxes. The extra two lines at the top of each calendar box are for my habit trackers.

Rotating the book so the calendar is taller than wide adds more space to each day. Each day is eight squares (4 cm) by 5 squares (2.5 cm). I attached my habits using a little washi tape and a sheet cut from a Rhodia Dot-Grid pad (I love lining up the dots, so it’s like the page just continuing onto that little flap).

Was I Crazy? Maybe.

This plan with me was a little disjointed and crazy. I learned a lot about what I needed (and what I didn’t) for the month. I might have been crazy to try condensing all of my plans so much, but I think you’ll agree, sometimes there’s not a whole lot going on, and it’s ok to modify your bullet journal to suit your needs for any given month. Even if that includes eliminating weekly or daily pages. That’s the thing with this type of planner, you can adjust it to suit your needs and add or remove elements as needed.

Post Plan With Me: June 2018 Through the Month

As the month progressed, I added a few extra pages including a beach packing list and a spending log. I loved using my “all the things” journal page to record specific memories as a family and make general notes. There’s a reason why I like to include these particular pages. One reason is they provide a quick overview to the good things of the month. Another reason is that I feel like I recorded a journal entry without feeling like I have to jot every detail down of every event.

Planner Question:

Do you use the same pages/layout each month/week? If so, how long did it take for you to decide on that layout? If not, what makes you change each month?

Are you ok with leaving blank space in your planner when life is less planned, or do you condense everything down?

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
