The Real Story Behind Mother’s Day

Did you know Mother’s Day started as one woman’s mission to honor her mom? Anna Jarvis went all-in to make Mother’s Day a national holiday—writing thousands of letters and even trademarking the name! But here’s the twist: she ended up hating how commercial it got, fighting against the card and flower companies who cashed in. She even tried to abolish the holiday she created! Wild, right? Next time you buy a card, remember the woman who just wanted a handwritten note. #MothersDay #History #DidYouKnow #WatercoolerMoment #Culture
