Three generations were present for the meal, as the Fantastic Four star brought along daughters Honor, nine, and Haven Warren, seven.

The Honest Co. co-founder took to social media to share a snap from her mother’s celebration.

‘#Happybirthday to my beautiful mom @cathyalba,’ she wrote.

Earlier this year, Jessica spoke to People about her parenting skills.
The entrepreneur revealed that she is strict when it comes to her parenting.
‘I’m probably on the stricter side of lenient,; she began.
‘But I think boundaries are good for kids. And structure. I find that my kids thrive when they know where the boundaries are and the comfort zone and where they can be creative and play.’
She recalled a time that eldest daughter Honor was stubborn, something that she was as a child.
‘I was a pretty stubborn and tough kid, and when I didn’t get my way, I would cross my arms and stomp my feet. ‘=And the first time Honor did that, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ It was like I got thrown back into being 7 again.”
‘But the thing is, my mom wasn’t trying to talk to me about it. She was like, ‘You’re in trouble, you’re grounded, you’re going to your room.’
And appears Jessica’s tougher parenting is something valuable she learned from her mother.
