While Mother's Day is celebrated all over the world, it falls on different days depending on where you are. Is there anyone who deserves to be celebrated more than Moms? Observed on the second Sunday of May, Mother's Day in the United States had its origins back in the late 1800's. It became an official national holiday in 1914. According to History.com, Anna Jarvis came up with the idea to honor the sacrifices mothers make for their children. She started in the late 1860's bringing families together for Mother's Day Work Clubs to educate local women about caring for young children. While the country was still struggling to get over the wounds from the Civil War, she was trying to reunite families. "In 1868, Jarvis organized "Mother's Friendship Day" at which mothers gathered with former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote reconciliation." - History.com
After Christmas and Easter, it is the third most celebrated holiday in the world. There are over 40 million moms in the U.S. and an estimated 120 million phone calls are made on Mother's Day. Common gifts for mom include flowers, Mother's Day cards, chocolates, and jewelry. But, if you've given these gifts to mom every year, maybe she would appreciate a change up this year. Keep mom on her toes. An
