I still can’t believe that another year has passed and we are nearly at Mother’s Day 2025 already!

Time flies, hey! Well, when is Mother’s Day 2025? It really depends on where you are in the world, as Mother’s Day is on a different day depending on where you live.

If you’re wondering when is Mother’s Day in the UK or what date is Mother’s Day the answer is…

In the UK Mother’s Day 2022 falls on Sunday 27th March.

When is Mother’s Day 2025? UK & Ireland: 30th March 2025｜Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States: 11th May 2025

So Mother’s Day 2025 is approaching and it’s officially time to think outside the box and get creative. Normally, we’d maybe book a table at a nice restaurant, plan a lovely day trip somewhere and do lots of lovely things, probably outside the house, to show our Mum’s how much we care. If you are spending Mother’s Day 2025 at home or celebrating Mother’s Day from a distance or online, check out this post full of ideas of what to do on Mother’s Day in lockdown.

Whether you’re looking for the right thing to put in your Mother’s Day card message, or you’re looking for a text to send on Mother’s Day morning, take a look at some of these ideas…

Mother, first you gave me the gift of life. Then you gave me the kind of love only a mother can give. I’m so very grateful for both.

Only a mother can communicate love without saying a word. For the many unspoken ways that you share your love in our family, I hope you know that you are loved and appreciated beyond measure.

I can’t begin to thank you for all the things you have done for me. You told me that I can be me and that I don’t have to change for anyone. You have supported and encouraged me throughout my entire life. I’m forever grateful.

Mum, you’re the glue that holds us together. Happy Mother’s Day!

Even through all the toughest times you didn’t give up on me. Thank you for being an incredible mum.

I hope your Mother’s Day is filled with as much happiness as you’ve brought me.

Mum, thank you for giving me everything I could need. Your support, nurturing and love has made me who I am. I am so grateful for you and all you have done. Happy Mother’s Day.

Not only are you my mum, but you’re my best friend. I love you, Mum; Happy Mother’s Day.

Poetry is an absolutely beautiful way to convey your emotions and express your love for someone, and a Mother’s Day poem does just that.

You could take inspiration from an existing poem, or write a different rhyming Mother’s Day poem or acrostic Mother’s Day poem with the word ‘mother’, ‘mummy’ or her name!

Long distance Mother’s Day messages…

Not everyone can be close to their mum this Mother’s Day, so if you are celebrating from a distance here are some Mother’s Day messages to send to your mum.

I’m sending you a hug. It’s a virtual one. Let me know when you get it!

Close together or far apart, you’re forever in my heart.

Mum, you’ve always been a star to me. I may not always see you, but I know you’re always there. Happy Mother’s Day.

Distance means so little when you mean so much to me, Mum.
