Short Break, Big Feels

After seeing the pics, I know some of you are probably thinking, What’s going on? Well, here’s the big reveal—I’m home! And that means one thing: mom’s legendary home-cooked food. Honestly, I feel like my taste buds have reawakened. It’s like I took a trip down memory lane with every bite. Home food really is like a magic pill, and believe me, I’ve had a heavy dose of it this weekend.

But let’s be real, why is home food always the best? The secret sauce? Love. That’s what my mom always says. There’s something special about how she serves it up—every dish comes with a side of care, a sprinkle of affection, and that signature smile that makes the meal complete. It’s like a five-star experience right in the comfort of your own dining room.

After stuffing myself with all that goodness, I had one of those heart-to-heart talks with my mom. You know, the kind where you lose track of time but feel so much lighter afterward? We had plans to head out today, but honestly, all I wanted was to crash. So, I embraced my inner sloth, rolling around in bed and just chilling out. And after the most amazing Saturday nap, the cherry on top was watching a movie with my parents. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. Seriously, it made everything feel so right.

I wish I could hit pause and just stay in this moment forever—more holidays, more time with my parents. But hey, life has other plans, and as an only child, I've got to juggle responsibilities. Still, even though this vacation was short, it was sweet, and I’m all about savoring every second of it.

So, here’s a little reminder to make the most of every moment. Turn them into memories that you’ll treasure forever, because these are the days that really count. Happy holidays to everyone out there—whether it’s long or short, let’s make it beautiful!
