Mothers’ Day this year coincided with my birthday, making it doubly special. My Mom told me I was born on Mothers’ Day so you can imagine my joy when I finally qualify to celebrate this day after Dana came along.  For my birthday, the husband sent a rose floral bouquet and a dear friend surprised me with a cheery yellow Gerbera table arrangement which instantly warmed my heart and lit up our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

After church, we joined the extended family for lunch at the Peony Jade Restaurant at Keppel Club.  We liked its chic Chinese decor and fresh dim-sums, one of the best well-kept secrets this part of Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

We also polished off the delicious H\u00e4agen-Dazs’ ‘Heart of Perfection’ luscious Strawberry Ice-Cream Cake within minutes – a beautifully handcrafted ice cream cake coated with nougat and decorated with delicate pink chocolate hearts, all topped with a crown of frozen strawberries. <\/span><\/span>It was so so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

After lunch, all of us adjourned to Resort World’s Sentosa for a fun day out in the sun.<\/p>\n

It was a heartwarming Mothers’ Day spent with my favourite people in the world, surrounded by my favourite things. How did you spend your Mothers’ Day this year?<\/p>\n
