Mother's Day History

Hi! Due to time constraints for my computer use, today I justed posted some links for you to explore. They are about the creators of Mother's Day, Julia Ward Howe (the same one who wrote The Battle Hymn of the Republic) and Anna Jarvis. I hope you made this day special for your mom and told her how much you love her! Here are the links:

P.S. I checked out most of the just regarding the specific ladies on the pages. Therefore, I am not sure of the content on the rest of the website. Please proceed with caution! : ) Also, I do not share all the liberal/feminist opinions of the women on these sites.
