Celebrating Mother's Day

  "We only have One Mom, One Mommy, One Mother in this World, One life. Don't wait for the Tomorrow's to tell Mom, you love her"
 
Sunday May 10, 2009 we celebrate Mother's Day in North America. In the United Kingdom, Mothering Sunday is celebrated on March 22, 2009.
The first Mother's Day observance was a church service honoring Mrs. Anna Reese Jarvis, held at Anna Jarvis's request in Grafton, West Virginia, and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 10, 1908.
Enjoy these fun things to do for and with your Mom this Mother's Day.
