Yesterday’s weather was finally warm and sunny — which set the perfect backdrop for a Mother’s Day filled with flowers, spring brunches, and walks in the park. The Cut’s Bek Andersen hit the streets to capture the scene, stopping to talk to moms (and their kids) about what the day meant for them. From a mother-daughter pair at Frieze to multigenerational brunches and a family ice-cream outing: Click through our slideshow to see all these Mother’s Day celebrators and more.

Danvy Pham and Monroe Johnson with their daughter, Lorelye Johnson Do you have any Mother's Day memories? Danvy: I'm Vietnamese, but I lived in France when I was young. My mom would always take us to the park, and [we'd walk] around Paris. How has being a mother changed you? It has made my life richer and fuller in many new dimensions. It's not easy, but it's rewarding.

Rachel Maskel with Husband James and daughter Kaliana What is your favorite thing about being a parent? The love, the entertainment, and [having] something to really connect with on a completely different level that you can't access any way else. Sometimes the concept of being a mom is still foreign. Babies really teach us what it's like to experience the world, what it's like to reengage with a new level of awareness.

Debbie Rosenberg and daughter Emma Grunebaum Do you have Mother's Day traditions? Emma: Just hanging out together and doing what my mom wants to do. Debbie: Making a request that she doesn’t look at her cell phone, but it doesn’t really work! Emma: It does work! Not fair! Do you have any favorite Mother's Day memories? Debbie: Do you have any mom-ories at all? Hahaha! Later on we are going to see Palo Alto because Emma’s cousin went to high school with James Franco.
