Don\u2019t forget if you live in Scotland – Mothering Sunday is 14th<\/sup> March. I have a few goodies in store to surprise your mum with, but first a little history lesson.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We all celebrate \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019 or \u2018Mothering Sunday\u2019 in our own ways but where did it all start?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well way back in 16th<\/sup> Century Britain, Mothering Sunday was a religious event that actually had no connection to \u2018mothers\u2019 at all. The word \u2018mothering\u2019 referred to the \u2018mother church\u2019 (yes seriously). On the fourth Sunday of Lent people returned to their \u2018mother\u2019 church for a special service. This was called \u2018going a-mothering\u2019 and became quite a highlight (probably because servants actually got a day off for this).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, if you\u2019re a mother yourself you might still look forward to the \u2018servants\u2019 day off\u2019 because let\u2019s be honest, we do sometimes feel like we are our little angel\u2019s servants, don\u2019t we? Or is that just me?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mums outside Scotland and the rest of the UK, have to wait until the second Sunday in May for their days off though, since \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019 in the US and Australia are unrelated to the Religious event, and are considered more ‘modern’ occasions. The rest of the world has a woman called Anna Jarvis to thank for the modern version of Mother\u2019s Day as she had a desire to honour her own mother for her peace activism in the war. The idea grew from there that all mothers deserved to be honoured and celebrated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That said, Anna Jarvis did have some hard-line views about the type of gifts you should bring to your mother. Apparently, a ready-made printed card was not acceptable nor was a box of chocolates since the gift-giver ended up being the one to eat all the chocolates. She felt so strongly about the \u2018commercialism\u2019 of Mother\u2019s Day that she ended up boycotting the event she had lobbied to create \u2013 and she took part in protests \u2013 to the point she was arrested for disturbing the peace!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well Anna, I hope you approve of my creations which are perfect for all mothers out there. They are unique and hand-created so you know a lot of love and attention has gone into the original design. In fact, it is my hope that mothers everywhere would feel quite spoiled to receive one of our Bumbumbee creations. For instance, to celebrate Spring and getting out in the great outdoors, we have illustrated a beautiful collection of Coastal characters and marine life designs which would create a stunning theme or feature wall at home. Given the times we are living in we thought one of our cards and a Coastal Notepad<\/a> would easily create a lovely little surprise letterbox gift for Mother\u2019s Day.<\/span> Why not head over to our Shop or visit us on Instagram for some inspiration. Please note if you are ordering a gift for Mother\u2019s Day, Wednesday 10th<\/sup> March 2021 is last day for orders (stock levels permitting)<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

You may be a working mum, a single mum, a foster mum, a would-be mum \u2013 a woman who desires to be a mum. You may have someone in your life that isn\u2019t related by blood but feels like a mum to you. For many of us, myself included, Mother\u2019s Day can be a painful reminder that our mothers are no longer with us, and others may have a complicated relationship with their mum. Mother\u2019s Day can be a reminder of loss \u2013 or a day of joy \u2013 so don\u2019t miss an opportunity to let your mother know how special she is to you. We only ever have one mother. And if you know a mum that\u2019s doing it tough or would appreciate being acknowledged in some way \u2013 I\u2019m sure she won\u2019t say no to a card or a box of chocolates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
