A bit late with the Easter post, but we actually got these treats from Faubourg a few days after the holiday. I originally wasn't going to post about them, because it was late, but they were so good. 

This one was a coconut mousse on top, with a "pomegranate hibiscus gelée interior, on a sablé breton base", as per their website. The sakura inspired bits on top were a nibble of chocolate that enhanced the coconut flavors:

S had their bunny dessert and she wouldn't give me a bite, so I'm sure it was good, even though I can't tell you about it.

Pastries, cookies, and sugar in general have been helping with my anxiety and post partum hormones. Baby P is great to take care of, super chill, but I get so anxious when I breastfeed. It feels harder to breathe and my chest tightens a little. He's feeding well, and I have no pain, so I'm not sure why. Does anybody else have this experience? 

Other things that are causing anxiety:

• Taxes
• Clutter
• Fridge looking too packed or too empty
• Grandparents acting like children
• S refusing to nap or taking short naps

Breathe in, breathe out.

I’ve been trying to find more time to read, so in between running errands at Park Royal, H and I went for coffee at Faubourg:



We had a peach danish, a latte, and a cappuccino. Is the food here average or is it just me? The pastry could have been fluffier, and the coffee game was not strong enough. I’ll give them points on the cozy back corner, great spot for people watching and doing work. I did get some reading done…



Reading books about different places really inspires me to travel. I can’t wait to hit the road again, but looking at horoscopes for Dragons next year, it does not seem like I will be lucky in travels. Actually, it looks like I will not have any luck at all next year. This year was tough, but fun with lots of trips and new experiences. If next year is going to be even harder… Well, it’s going to be a very interesting new year. I’m going to keep my eye on the prize though, and just try to remember what I’m aiming for.
