A surprise on Father’s Day morning

On Father’s Day morning, I brought Alexis to Antoinette that was recommended by Rachel. Even though it was so close to us, I have never noticed this quaint little French patisserie.

The moment you step foot into the cafe, the french decor and array of delectable desserts will take your breathe away.

We settled for breakfast and were very pleased with our choice.

The blueberry pancakes was an absolute delight and even though it was what Alexis ordered, I’ll kept going back for more. We will return for desserts another time as I’ve already got my eye on a few items.

Sophie was all smiles with Daddy on Father’s Day.

We took a short walk towards the Lavender MRT and spotted a familiar face on the street banner.

Yes that’s me.

I was surprised to have finally caught sight of it since I’ve heard a couple of my friends mentioned that they have seen it at East Coast Park and of course at Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden where the Jurong Lake Run 2012 will be held.

Which reminds me, I’ve got less than a month to prepare for the run. Thankfully, it’s only a 6km run and not a marathon.

Since my emo post last week about feeling too stretched, I’ve decided to be contented being a balanced mom and not allow the small things to overwhelm me. One way it to keep finding pockets of time for myself, like exercising, reading and yes, learning to disconnect to connect with those that matter like Alexis and Sophie. I’m still learning the ropes as a mom, especially when dealing with difficult situations like tantrums and all. I haven’t got it all figures out yet, but I reckon Motherhood is a journey but thankfully, I’ve got lots of love and support from my family and friends, especially the moms from SMB 🙂  *big hugs*
