B.. What's your perfect Mother's Day
ritual?
I Have always worked on Mother's Day, but before I leave to work my husband and my boys bring me breakfast to bed with a gift and a
homemade card. This for me is priceless because my boys take their time to write me a note, it's a family ritual. Then I get ready for my busy day ahead, as a Florist owner Mother's
Day is the second busiest day of the year. I enjoy my day filled with flowers and spreading floral love around my community. Making other mommies smile!

Although a spa day at the Lapis Fontainebleau is my favorite
