This Mother’s Day reminder is hard to miss

Mother's Day sign

Just ask the people of Philadelphia, where this sign commemorating the holiday stands. It's right outside the old Wanamaker's Department Store, near city hall. John Wanamaker worked with Philly resident Anna Jarvis to establish Mother's Day as a holiday. It was first celebrated in 1908.

If you know a great mother who deserves recognition (that and cash & prizes!) be sure to visit americasfavoritemom.com.
