The Mothers’ Day Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

Have you ever noticed that although almost all cultures have a day celebrating mothers this isn’t the same day across the world? In Hungary Mothers’ Day is the first Sunday in May, but I know that just in Europe, the British, the French and even the Belgian celebrate it on a different day.

Here moms are usually given flowers and kids surprise them with small gestures like preparing breakfast (and sometimes even bringing it to bed), and when children are small they usually sing some special songs for the occasion.

So knowing me, you know that besides the flowers there will be some home-baked treats as well 😉

So where you are, when is Mothers’ Day celebrated? And what do you usually do? Are there any specific traditions?

And before I take my leave here are this week’s winners:
