In fact, over the past 100 years, Mother's Day has be- come the third most celebrated holiday, ranking behind only Christmas and Easter, and is celebrated in more than 50 coun- tries. As moms, we're in good company! There are an estimated 85.4 million moms in the United States. That means you're not only one in a million, you're one in 85 million! Any way you say it, "Mom" is "Mom!" In a ma- jority of world languages, the word for "mother" be- gins with the letter "M" or a "ma," "mo" or "me" sound. You're never too old to be a mother! In 2003, a re- tired schoolteacher in India gave birth to her first child at the age of 65. Mother's Day means a break from the kitchen! It's the busiest day of the year for restaurants, with over 60 percent of families choosing to dine out and give mom a day off from cooking. Moms invented alphabet blocks, diapers and fold- ing cribs! It's no secret that moms are the "mother of all inventors," but would it surprise you to know that all these great tools that make it a bit easier to be a mom were invented in the late 1800's? Even then, moms knew what they needed to get the job done! A mother's influence is far reaching – even into your children's adult lives! Bet you didn't know that Mr. Rogers wore sweat- ers knitted by his real-life mother on his popular tele- vision show, 'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'. There are many ways to celebrate Mother's Day! Whether you receive hand- made cards and gifts, flow- ers or simply spend time with your family, Mother's Day is celebrated with en- thusiasm. In fact, in the for- mer country of Yugoslavia, the kids play a key role! On Mother's Day, the tradition is to tie up their mothers and only set them free when they reward their children with a small treat! Happy Mother's Day! Celebrating 100 years of Moms! IDEAS From Page 15 project in advance without Mom's knowl- edge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother's Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for Mom and giv- ing it to her as a Moth- er's Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served. The Reader A 2017 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women read more than men. Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother's Day fo- cused on Mom's love of books an ideal and unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom their own books, and Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores and look for original copies of Mom's favorite books that she might not find elsewhere. The Nature Lover Fishing and other o u t d o o r a c t i v i t i e s might have a reputa- tion as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that's not really the case. A 2016 report from the Outdoor Foundation found that 46 percent of people who partici- pated in outdoor ac- tivities were women. If Mom is a nature enthu- siast, families can plan a Mother's Day enjoy- ing the great outdoors, even giving Mom a new fishing pole, hik- ing gear or other items that align with her fa- vorite nature activity. The Relaxation Specialist Of course, some mothers may want to simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother's Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consec- utive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A relaxing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for moms to begin Mother's Day before they enjoy a brunch of dinner out with their families. Mother's Day cel- ebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated. Sunday May 8
