Sorry it has been a while Since I posted. I had a crazy week and the weekend was spent with my hubby celebrating our 13 year anniversary! We live several hours from the city so it was fun to have a weekend away in the city. My parents watched all four of our kiddos over night so we could have Sat and Sun to play in the city. It was so refreshing! We went to a movie, out to eat ethnic food, shopped and had a great time just hanging out! Spending time with your husband or wife as FRIENDS is so important. You need to laugh together, play together and not just work together managing a family. I did a post with date ideas called Date night how to make it happen. There are a lot of great ideas there. This one below was one of my favorites from the list.
One thing I plan to give my husband for Christmas this year is a year of dates. I got this idea from shannon brown. Great idea Shannon!
To make sure that spending time with your spouse really happens the plan is that you pick 12 activities, like bowling, the movies, overnight at a hotel, the zoo etc,, then you wrap an envelope for every month with the tickets, or brochure etc... Then you sit down at the beginning of each month and look at calendars together to pick the date. That way the date is set and you can arrange babysitting or whatever else you need to arrange so that all month you have that date to look forward to and it actually happens!
I am so looking forward to this. With 4 kids and homeschool and a busy life this is a great Christmas gift for hubby that I will really enjoy too. Even though we all know how important it is to spend time with our spouses sometimes it just doesn't happen but it is just a matter of making the time to schedule it at the beginning of the month.
I will post photos when I get mine all put together but meanwhile I am thinking how fun this will be to pick 12 creative ideas and wrap them in a fun way.
Praise God for parents that babysit and friends you can trust with your children! What creative ideas do you have for dates with your hubby? Or what is the most memorable date you have been on since you have been married?
