I thought I had covered all of the Mother's Day facts until I woke up and saw a new wealth of information about the day. I knew from my previous random facts of this holiday that it was spear headed by Ann Jarvis.
According to wikipedia Ann Jarvis gave white carnations to each of the moms at her moms church after her passing. Reading through this entire timeline was fascinating. Ironically she never needed natural prenatal vitamins because she herself never had kids. I guess Ann Jarvis really worked very hard to form Mother's Day and then ended up hating it. She even tried to boycott the flower industry because they'd raise the prices of flowers around the holiday.
