The History of Mother’s Day

As you know, Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday. Which means if you haven’t called your mom in a while to chat and tell her you love her, now is the perfect time, especially as we continue to socially distance ourselves. Whether you’re calling up your mom or making your wife breakfast in bed, Mother’s Day traditions are always fun and a great way to show the important women in your life that you care and appreciate them. But, do you ever wonder how it all started—why we have Mother’s Day as a national holiday? Well, here to answer all our questions about the history of Mother’s Day, is Connell Branan, National President of American Mothers Incorporated, the official sponsor of Mother’s Day.
