Make Room for Romance

Do you ever wonder how you will possibly find time for romance when you barely have time to brush your teeth? With two careers, kids in the mix, community service, let alone laundry, it can be a real challenge! Here are some charming, unexpected, and totally doable ideas for squeezing in a little intimacy into everyday life. Try them on your guy -- and see how little things can make all the difference.Dinner for two - Pureed vegetables all over the wall and floor doesn't exactly set the stage for romance. Why not feed the kids early, put them to bed, and then have a late after-dinner dinner just for two? Make it date-night special by lighting candles and playing some of your favorite tunes. This can make even tacos seems special.Pencil Him In - Instead of trying to deal with the hassle of last-minute babysitter booking, put your favorite sitter on a regular schedule in order for you to have a standing date night. Don't worry if you don't have plans yet - you'll figure out what to do later. Make the first Friday or Saturday of every month your night to get out of the house without the kiddies and remember that you're more than just Mom and Dad.Let's Do Lunch - Who says dates have to be at night? How about a lunch rendezvous? Take an hour from your day to meet up and enjoy a mini-date, just the two of you. You can meet at a restaurant right in the middle, or bring a picnic lunch with you in a cooler. Maybe you could take turns meeting near each other's work areas. And there's a bonus: If you're a working mama, you don't even need to hire a sitter.A Compliment a Day Makes Romance Stay - When was the last time you told your husband how awesome he is? When did you last hear him say he liked how you look in that dress? Put yourself on a compliment-a-day program to keep those loving feelings flowing. He'll catch on too and it will become a natural for both of you.Play Hooky - You know those personal days you get? There really isn't anything more personal than reconnecting with your husband. Take one of those underused allotted days midweek while the kids are at daycare, school, or maybe with Grandma. Go back to bed, watch TV in your PJs, see a movie, read together, whatever it is, as long as you do it together. You'll go back to work tomorrow refreshed and renewed.Flower Power - It's not always the man's job to bring flowers home to his wife. Splurge a little and buy a pretty fresh bouquet of blooms on your way home. It will make you smile, which will then make him smile.Break away from the Baby Talk - The subject of your kids could expand to fill every single second of conversation if you let it. Try taking a 15-minute break from kiddie talk every day to discuss your relationship, good memories, the dream you had last night...anything so long as it's not about the kids. You'll return to the subject soon enough, so don't feel bad!Anything to show your spouse you are thinking of him, from just a few minutes a day to a regularly-scheduled date night, will do wonders for your romance and make this February one you'll remember!
