Mother’s Day Eve began long before sunrise, will my children somehow awake and ready by 5 am to head in time with me to the flower market. As you can see from the ride into DTLA, the enthusiasm was absolutely amazing. After traveling through some of the hardest parts of LA, we were rewarded with the most breathtaking experience—rows and rows of the worlds most exotic and glorious flowers, every color and scent imaginable filling the warehouses around us. It felt like stepping into another world. We ended the morning in Little Tokyo with a lovely breakfast, surrounded by the unmistakeable energy of Shohei Ohtani everywhere we turned. It was the perfect beginning to Mother’s Day weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter way to spend it than alongside my children. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas. ❤️
