Celebrate the Heart of Home: A Mother’s Day
Reflection (Plus a Treat from Roady Retail!)

• As spring blossoms around us, so too does the anticipation for a day dedicated to the incredible
  women who nurture, support, and love us unconditionally: Mother’s Day. At Roady Retail, we
  believe in celebrating all the amazing moms out there, and we’ve got just the thing to help you
  show your appreciation. But before we dive into our special Mother’s Day sale, let’s take a
  moment to appreciate the rich history behind this cherished holiday.
  While the idea of honoring mothers dates back to ancient civilizations with festivals dedicated to
  mother goddesses, the modern iteration of Mother’s Day in the United States is largely credited
  to two remarkable women: Ann Reeves Jarvis and her daughter, Anna Jarvis.
  Ann Reeves Jarvis, during the Civil War era, organized “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” to help
  families and promote health and sanitation. After her passing in 1905, her daughter, Anna,
  dedicated herself to establishing a formal day to honor the sacrifices mothers made for their
  children. Through tireless campaigning, her efforts paid off in 1914 when President Woodrow
  Wilson officially proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
  Initially envisioned as a day of quiet reflection and wearing a white carnation to honor living
  mothers, the holiday has evolved into a broader celebration of motherhood in all its forms. We
  now honor grandmothers, stepmothers, aunts, and any woman who has played a nurturing role
  in our lives.
  Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day? It’s a chance to acknowledge the immeasurable
  contributions mothers make to our families and society. They are often the pillars of strength,
  offering guidance, comfort, and unwavering love. It’s an opportunity to say thank you for the
  sleepless nights, the endless support, the invaluable lessons, and the countless acts of
  kindness, both big and small.
  At Roady Retail, we understand the importance of showing your appreciation. So give Mom the best without breaking the bank at our Mother’s Day event.
