the Goodies jar: Mothers Day freebie

MOTHER's Day.... is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society....I know what influence my mom has on my life and being a mom of 2 boys, I know there's no better feeling than that special bond and love and giggles a mom shares with her kids...

I love being a mom!

but DID YOU KNOW... The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration.

The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other countries and it is now celebrated all over the world.
In this tradition, each person offers a gift, card, or remembrance toward their mothers, grandmothers, and/ or

maternal figure on mother's day.
