Mother’s Day is May 10th. To all the moms and moms-at-heart out there: Happy Mother’s Day!!!

According to Treehugger’s Mother’s Day Green Guide, Mother’s Day was started during the American Civil War by social activist Julia Ward Howe to unify women against war and promote nonviolence. Who knew?

Mother’s Day is Sunday May 10th. We’ve noticed that the Expecting Mother Flensted mobile has been popular recently. The leaf umbrella from Fred & Friends is also a great Mother’s Day gift.

And if that doesn’t suit your taste we suggest the Mother’s Day Guide brought to you by the cool mom’s at coolmompicks and the Treehugger’s Green Gift Guide for Mother’s Day.

Special thanks to @greenandhealthy on twitter for the tidbit about mother’s day.
