A mother’s love is truly unique. There is no bond quite like the bond of mother and child, and I say that as the mom of four sons. My love for them is so deep and intense. A mother’s love has no end and there really is nothing quite like it. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my sons. Now my heart is bursting with love as a grandma to my eight little loves and I’m so proud of my daughters-in-law who are amazing mommies!!

What is the history of Mother’s Day?

We have been officially honoring moms for over one hundred years now. The history of Mother’s Day dates back as early as 1868 when a committee to establish Mother’s Friendship Day was created by Ann Jarvis. The first proclamation by Julia Howe, asking women everywhere to join together for world peace,  a prelude to the special day we now celebrate, was written in 1870. In 1908, the first Mother’s Day was celebrated when Anna held a memorial for her mother Ann. And several years later in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation to officially recognize Mother’s Day as a national day honoring and celebrating mothers in our country. And now every year a designated day is set aside, on the second Sunday in May, to honor moms in the United States, the founding country of Mother’s Day.

  • flour
  • sugar
  • egg yolk
  • milk

Mother’s Day Dessert Recipes

Mojito Bars and Raspberry Lemon Thyme Tartlets

Mojito Key Lime Bars is a fruity dessert that will make you pucker! All the flavors of summer and a Mojito together in a dessert bar. Even better, it’s non-alcoholic so everyone can enjoy a taste!

No-Bake Raspberry Lemon Thyme Tartlets are a no-fuss quick and easy dessert. The flavors of juicy sweet raspberries, mouth puckering lemons and fresh herbs all remind me that spring has sprung!

Cake Pops and Blueberry Pound Cake

No-Bake Vanilla Cake Pops will definitely make mom smile. Store bought pound cake, canned frosting and white chocolate chips along with pink food color and cake sparkles make this no-bake recipe easy to make!

Meyer Lemon Glazed Blueberry Pound Cake starts with a pound cake mix studded with fresh blueberries for a pop of summer berry flavor, enhanced with sour cream for extra moistness and drenched in a Meyer lemon syrup. Finish with a Meyer lemon glaze and candied Meyer lemon slices that complements the berry flavor, and every bite will be a taste of heaven!

    Hi Linda, Lemon curd can be found in the jelly and jam section of your grocery store and sometimes it can be in the baking aisle too. Hope you find it without too much searching! And thank you for stopping by Swirls! Savor the moments, Gwynn
