Mothers Day THEME |
 |
Reserving the second Sunday of May, Mother's Day is meant to be a day for reflection on and showing appreciation for all of the things that a mother provides for her family: husband, sons and daughters. Many different civilizations recognized and honored the work done by mothers in a variety of different ways in the past. Reaching as far back as times of the ancient Greeks, honoring mothers was already a concept of great importance as the god of Rhea and Cybele represented the Mother of gods.
The English held a custom as early as the 1600’s, very closely resembling that of our American Mother’s Day. Reserving the fourth Sunday of the Lent season, this day was called Mothering Sunday and was a day in which all servants were excused from their duties so they could travel home and pay their respects to their mothers. Tradition often included the gift of a cake for the celebration. With such a long history, it to no surprise that America also adopted such a holiday.
Anna Jarvis of Grafton West Virginia pushed for the national recognition of all mothers after her mother had passed away on May 10th, 1908. Held locally at first, the campaign spread to the political limelight through the businessmen and politicians of the time. Finally successful in 1914, Woodrow Wilson declared Mother’s Day as a national holiday and reserved the second Sunday in the month of May to honor them on. Although it is nice to declare such a day, mothers of American deserve such respect everyday. The cooking and cleaning and caring that is extended by mothers is both exhausting and rewarding, but the rewards are more easily gleaned from the context of of the daily hustle and bustle when acknowledgement and appreciation is noted on a regular basis.
Mother’s Day, as with many holidays, holds in addition to the recognition the day is designed an even larger economic importance. Not to be taken lightly, some claim this holiday to have surpassed the sales of the Easter traditions, making it of the second highest sales market related to holiday seasons.

Mothers Day Cake Ideas
Around the world there is probably more then a few women who will celebrate two events on one day, such as doing a Mothers Day birthday cake. Making one special cake to celebrate both events, will require some planning as to what will be needed with the party supplies. The directions will come up in a bit, first some possible decoration ideas; a flower made with icing, a simple message of love, draw a picture of mom with icing using her favorite color. Just some ideas to help out, here is a couple more; have a bakery make a cake with a printed image of mom or one of mom and kids. Having a bakery do the cake will save time for more work around the house. Otherwise here is a recipe for a pound cake, grease a 9 ½ inch square baking pan with one teaspoon of butter and set aside. Also the oven will need to be heated to 350 degrees. Next on low heat place a saucepan and melt 1 cup of butter, add sugar and stir until combined. The vanilla will need to be stirred in, whisk in eggs one at a time.

Mothers Day Party Music Play Lists
Mothers Day is a timeless holiday that honors a group of extraordinary women, those who gave us life and raised us to become the people we are; both strong influences and gentle nurturers, these women deserve a special celebration, one that comes complete with an array of good music selections.
Whether sung to celebrate, recognize or remember a special mother, no party is complete without the ultimate Mothers Day playlist:
I Remember Mama by Shirley Caesar
A Song For Mama by Boyz 2 Men
Mother I Miss You by Dalia Reed
I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack
Ma Mere by G Love
Lisa by Lita Ford (a tribute to Ford’s mother)
My Mama Told Me by Tom Tom Club
My Mama Said by Lenny Kravitz
Aside from sweet and meaningful tunes, no Mothers Day party is complete without some equally beautiful party supplies. These could include Mother’s Day commemorative plates, heart-shaped wall hangings and centerpieces in feminine colors such as red and pink, lacy table coverings and wall art that depict classic images like Whistler’s Mother (or, better yet, the party host’s mother); as well as plenty of take home party favors for moms in attendance, like colorfully wrapped mints and chocolates, roses and carnations, etc.
