Happy Mother’s Day! With some of the alone time I had today, I had the chance to sit and reflect upon all that has happened this past year. Last year I was in a bit of a daze being a mom for only less than a month. This year, being a mom has really sunk in and I couldn’t be prouder of my little girl. I have to admit that I’m proud of myself too. I’ve managed to keep up with breastfeeding for over a year and on May 7th we were done. It was hard but it was time. I also cannot believe that I’m still sane after going back to work full-time and coming home everyday to take care of my little munchkin. It definitely gives me a greater appreciation for everything that my mom did for us.
This morning, Jes got up early, went to the store, and came back to fix me a tasty breakfast.
He made eggs benedict with smoked salmon and paired it with mimosas. Yum.
Here are the Mommy & Me Mimosas. Tee hee!
I also got some tulips! Aren’t they pretty? Thank you for a lovely morning, Husband!
Once Kumquat went down for her nap, I got the chance to go out for run on my own. It was so liberating to be out there without a stroller and leash. I even had the chance to go to the gym to stretch and workout a bit more.
At 2pm, I met up with Michelle and Amy at Four Seasons to celebrate and got another tasty mimosa with a view of Market St.
It was a good thing I went for a run because we were treated with quite a feast! Amy’s husband is now the GM of the restaurant and he hooked us up with a variety of savory and sweet dishes. I felt so spoiled!
I had a wonderful time and it was such a fun way to celebrate motherhood.
I had a craving for dim sum the other day at work and made plans to go with Stephanie this weekend. Her husband Nathan had never tried it and came along too. In the process of planning, we also asked if Ranee wanted to join us. So, this morning we met up at Restaurant Peony in Oakland Chinatown for some dumplings. By the way, they also had fried milk there. Yum.
