Recipe
for Romance
Parent or parent-to-be?
You still deserve a little romance!
As a busy parent
or parent-to-be, it's difficult to make time for romance. With a little
effort and creativity you can renew the excitement and attraction
that brought you and your partner together. Try these tips to inject
more love and romance into your day:
1. Take a long,
leisurely bath together. Enjoy a glass of champagne or juice with
sparkling water, and drop a cherry in it.
2. Give each
other a slow, soothing shoulder massage using oils scented with a
sensual aroma like jasmine, rose, or musk.
3. Play exotic
or soft music and dance slowly by candlelight.
4. Rent a romantic
video and snuggle under a soft blanket to watch it "au naturel."
5. Feed each
other chocolates and fresh fruits.
6. Tell your
partner what first attracted you to them.
7. Look through
photos taken when you first met.
8. Relive your
first date by returning to the scene or re-creating it as closely
as possible.
9. Sit together
in the moonlight and just hold hands. Let nature take its course.
Getting a babysitter
is optional. Just wait until the kids are asleep and stay up a little
later to give each other some undivided attention.
