Did you know … that Mother’s Day here in the United States was started by a woman named Anna Jarvis? In 1907, she started working to have a day set aside for all Americans to celebrate their moms. She spread the word through church meetings and letter-writing to government representatives and businessmen. By 1910, she had nearly all 46 states observing Mother’s Day. In 1914, Mother’s Day became a national holiday.

Have a safe and happy weekend, just like Mom would want!
