The Cat in the Hat is perhaps the most recognizable Dr. Seuss character of them all. So what better day to celebrate with the Cat in the Hat than Dr. Seuss's birthday, March 2nd! This year it happens to be on a Tuesday. If you don't have the book, you can watch a read aloud, which I linked below. There is also one season of a Cat in the Hat series on Netflix, and there are Cat in the Hat episodes on the PBS kids app. Of course, you can purchase the book here and the movie here.
Dress Up: Wear something atop your head! Pick any hat that you love or one that reminds you of a Dr. Seuss character. Or stack as many on your head as you can. How many hats did Bartholomew Cubbins have? Here are some fun examples!
Of course, we start with the Cat...
In honor of Horton Hears a Who...
If the Grinch is your favorite character...
We can't forget Thing 1 and Thing 2...
Are you a fan of Fox in Socks?
What about Sam I Am?
And, the sweetest of them all, Cindy Lou Who...
Treat: Cat in the Hat Strawberry 🍓 Parfaits
This treat is the simplest of them all! Simply layer strawberries with either whipped cream or yogurt. One tip to get the layers to look even is to make sure to pack your strawberries so not too much of white layer leaks through. You could probably even get a similar look with sliced strawberries and bananas. If you really want some straight precise lines, use Jello! For a recipe using Jello brand click here. For a "healthier" version that uses juice, click here.
Bonus Snack: Cat in the Hat String Cheese. All you have to do is draw on the healthy snack. Check these out from Catch My Party.
Craft/Art: Draw your favorite Dr. Seuss Character! Check out these videos that teach kids to draw various Dr. Seuss Characters. Pick one or do them all!
Did I get your dad all wrong? Did I miss an obvious archetype? The father link figure spectrum is both wide and full of myriad little details, so hit link the comments below and let me know if there's a silly stereotype that fits your link dad and how watches factor into his lifestyle and sense of self.
As we reported last month, link this year's second quarter was expected to be brutal for the luxury goods sector. One of the most pessimistic forecasts, from link René Weber of Zurich's Bank Vontobel, had Swiss watch link exports falling 40% in value in the April-June period. With one month left in the quarter, the damage so far is much worse than that.
As Nicole and I got closer link to our 40th birthdays, I started looking for her dream watch: link an extra-large two-tone Cartier Roadster. At the same time, I reached back out to that customer, who was now a friend, and, with the help of his Authorized Dealer, I was eventually able to link secure my own Sky-Dweller. Just like I've used watches to help filter peoples' lives and experiences over the years, they've often helped me in return.

I, for one, don't love all of the models enough to go link on a "gotta catch em' all" Pokemon-style link hunt. Standouts are surely the Mission to Mars with its deep red case, and spacecraft-shaped hands. The Mission to link the Sun is equally loud and impressive with its yellow case and sunray (I see what they did there) dial.
