Watch the video,The History of Mother’s Day. 

Instead of buying your mom or that special woman in your life a card, make one! Use the book written by Barbara Joosse, I love You the Purplest for inspiration.

Here is an example:

I Love You the Purplest
by Maddie, poet

I love you, Mom, the purplest.
I love you the color of a warm starry night,
The purple mountain majesty.
I love you the color of the soft mist of after rain.
The ripe, juicy bite of a plum,
The elegance of royalty,
The lilac bush waiting to be smelled.
I love you, Mom, the color of hope.
