Mother's Day in the United States, Canada, and Australia falls on the second Sunday of May each year. The date moves by up to a week between years, making it easy to lose track of the exact day without checking. This countdown calculates the second Sunday in May automatically and displays the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining. Use it to plan brunches, book restaurants, order flowers, or organise a heartfelt gift in time.

Mother's Day is the busiest restaurant day of the year in the United States and one of the highest gift-purchase occasions globally. Planning must begin weeks in advance — popular brunch venues fill up 2–4 weeks ahead, and custom or personalized gifts require lead time. The countdown makes the urgency concrete.
