You onlycapitalize mother when you can replace the word with a name, and it still makes sense. Example: My mother said to do the laundry My Mary said to do the laundry (wrong) Mother told me to do the laundry Mary told me to do the laundry (right)

Yes, the compound noun "Mother's Day" is a proper noun, the name of a specific celebration. A proper noun is always capitalized.

And don't forget the apostrophe before the s, the noun Mother's is a possessive noun.
