Such an interesting history on Mother’s Day . Loved this quote “ I wanted it to be a day of sentiment, not profit,” she said with staunch conviction.. In the UK it’s in March and equally commercial . My daughter adores it and as a family they do make it special.

Thank you, Susan. Fascinating - right? Poor, Anna. That's wonderful that your daughter adores Mother's Day and how they make it special. I believe that was Anna's whole idea. She just didn't want the profiteers to take over so that people thought "give Mom a box of candy and be done with it." Your daughter has the right idea!
