Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is an easy short 2-hour ride from Los Angeles, and I was super excited to visit for the first time with my husband. I was in need of a relaxing vacation where I could escape from reality and turn off my brain for a week. Cabo San Lucas was just what the doctor ordered – a relaxing vacation filled with lots of delicious Mexican food and margaritas, sunshine, and sleep. One of my favorite activities was taking a nap on my room balcony listening to the sound of waves crashing. It was pure bliss. Without further delay, here is my One Week Cabo San Lucas Travel Guide.

HAPPY ONE MONTH to my little Krishie baba! Thank you for choosing me to be your mama. In just a few weeks, I’ve grown to love you more than anything in this world.⁠
⁠
The best moments are cuddling with you. I love how you snuggle up to me... oh I just wanna bottle up every ounce of your newborn scent.  You are the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. I’m trying to cherish every moment with you because one day I will look back and wonder where the time went. The days are long, but the years are short. ❤️⁠

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠
⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
