Since becoming a mother here in El Paso, Mother's Day is a day that I certainly look forward to. In fact, I have become so enthralled in my own perception of mothering, that somethings I forget that I, TO have to buy gifts for other special mothers in my life.

Turns out that in Texas, it's super common to forget about Mother's Day. Some reports say that about 66% of people forget about Mother's Day. So... I am not alone. Aside from that - Mother's Day is actually one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Texas and the U.S., with an estimated 86% of Americans planning to celebrate according to BetTexas.com.

This year Mother's Day will be celebrated on May 14th north of the border. Mexico celebrates Mother's Day on a fixed date of May 10th every year.

The United States officially started celebrating Mother's Day as a holiday in 1914. The credit for establishing the holiday goes to Anna Jarvis, who campaigned tirelessly for years to make Mother's Day a national holiday. She had started the campaign in 1908, the year after her mother's death, to honor the sacrifices and hard work of all mothers.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Texas Moms out there - even if the day is forgotten... ya'll sure aren't. <3
