Mother's Day is a cherished occasion celebrated in various countries around the world, including the United States and Brazil. It is a day dedicated to honoring the selfless love, sacrifices, and unwavering support of mothers. In this blog, we will explore the traditions and significance of Mother's Day in these two nations, while also highlighting the role of CDG in supporting mother entrepreneurs and businesses.
Mother's Day in the United States
In the United States, Mother's Day is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of May. The origins of this celebration can be traced back to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who campaigned tirelessly to establish a national holiday honoring mothers. Her efforts bore fruit in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
On this day, families across the United States come together to express their love and gratitude towards their mothers. Common traditions include giving gifts, such as flowers, chocolates, or personalized items, taking mothers out for special meals or brunches, and spending quality time together. It is a day filled with heartfelt gestures, cherished memories, and a celebration of the profound impact mothers have on their children's lives.
Mother's Day in Brazil
In Brazil, Mother's Day, known as "Dia das M?es," is also celebrated on the second Sunday of May, mirroring the tradition followed in the United States. However, the celebrations in Brazil take on a unique and vibrant character, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage.
On this day, Brazilians gather with their families to honor and express gratitude towards their mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures. Common traditions include hosting lavish family lunches or barbecues, exchanging gifts, and showering mothers with affection and attention.
Flowers, especially the national flower of Brazil, the Cattleya Orchid, are a popular gift choice, adding a touch of beauty and vibrancy to the celebrations. One of the most significant aspects of Mother's Day in Brazil is its commercial importance. It ranks second only to Christmas in terms of sales volume, with Brazilians spending billions on gifts, outings, and celebrations.
This highlights the deep-rooted cultural significance of motherhood in Brazilian society and the desire to honor and appreciate mothers in a grand and meaningful way.

In the United Kingdom, a study by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) revealed that one in three entrepreneurs is a mother, with over 800,000 women running their own businesses while raising children.
These statistics underscore the significant impact that mother entrepreneurs have on the global economy and the importance of providing them with the necessary support and resources to thrive.
Successful Entrepreneurs have admin support
One such success story is that of Sarah Blakely, the founder of Spanx, a multi-billion dollar shapewear company.

By delegating admin tasks and leveraging the expertise of her virtual assistants, Blakely was able to focus on growing her business while maintaining a strong presence in her children's lives.
Another inspiring example is Jacqueline Snyder, the founder of Minted, an online marketplace for independent artists and designers. As a mother of two, Snyder recognised the importance of seeking administrative support to manage the demands of her business and personal life. By partnering with a virtual assistant service, she was able to streamline her operations and dedicate more time to strategic planning and business development.
These success stories serve as powerful reminders of the transformative impact that expert administrative support can have on the lives and businesses of mother entrepreneurs.
