To pay homage to my mother today, I want to tell you about things you should know about Mother’s Day. I miss my Mom dearly. She passed over three years ago. If you can, make sure to hug your mother, or call her and say I love you. Let me tell you a little-known fact about GrantWatch<\/a>. Observing how hard I was working to build up GrantWatch, my mother said to me, “Libby tell me, how can I help you?” In my mother’s late 80s and into her early 90s, she insisted I give her something to do that would be of help. My staff taught my Mom how to tweet on Twitter, and how to post to Facebook and LinkedIn groups all about GrantWatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember how they would give her a prepared post and a list of groups and my Mom would be happy to have a meaningful task. Though accomplishing this task surely helped the company, its true value was in giving my mother a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment every day. Love you, Mom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of Mother’s Day, GrantWatch has devoted an entire category to grants for women<\/a>. In this category, you will find seed money small business grants for female entrepreneurs, college grants for women, enterprise grants and grants for minority women. Grants can be found using both Mother<\/a> and Maternal<\/a> as keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things You Should Know About Mother’s Day from the Beginning:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  1. Anna Jarvis created Mother’s Day holiday. Americans celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. Jarvis started \u201cMothers\u2019 Day Work Clubs<\/em>\u201d to teach local women how to properly care for their children.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. The most common flower gifted on Mother’s Day is the rose. Pink and red roses symbolized love and gratitude toward mothers. Carnations were Anna Jarvis’s mother’s favorite flower and are often associated with Mother’s Day. Jarvis used them to honor her mother’s memory.<\/li>

  4. By 1912, many states, towns and churches adopted Mother\u2019s Day as an annual holiday<\/li>
  5. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson<\/a> signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother\u2019s Day.<\/li>

    Little Known Facts about Mother’s Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Anna Jarvis had originally conceived of Mother\u2019s Day as a day of personal celebration between mothers and families. Her version of the day involved wearing a white carnation as a badge, and visiting one\u2019s mother or attending church services.<\/p>The History Channel<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Jarvis initially worked with the floral industry to help raise Mother\u2019s Day\u2019s profile. However, by 1920 she had become disappointed with the commercialism of the holiday. She publicly denounced the transformation and urged people to stop buying Mother\u2019s Day flowers, cards and candies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jarvis openly campaigned against what she called Mother\u2019s Day profiteers<\/em>. She spoke out against confectioners, florists and even charities. Jarvis initiated several lawsuits against groups that used the name \u201cMother\u2019s Day.\u201d At one point, she even lobbied the government to have the holiday removed from the American calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
