The Ties that Bind
I can not tell a lie, I am glad to have weekends without the boys. I remember when my friend Wendy’s ex-husband started taking their daughter for weekends and how she felt so blessed to have those breaks. I totally get it. After two weeks of travel and family while Brad was away, which was wonderful and fabulous, but still stressful, I am ready for some alone time with Brad.
This weekend we are celebrating his birthday with a special dinner at a local Indian fusion restaurant. We picked out appetizers, main courses, and deserts and invited friends. Hopefully we’ll make it out for karaoke after, but who knows. We’ll definitely be up to something, that’s for sure. We are also going to catch the new Indian Jones at the local drafthouse, so dinner and a movie all in one sitting. Something we don’t get to do very often, go to the movies. I’ve been working hard all week to do errands and clean house so that this weekend will be all about relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.
I love my boys with all my heart, but having the break a couple weekends a month has been essential to building Brad and I’s relationship. We started dating under unusual circumstances so having a chance to date more after the first stressful year of twin babies has been wonderful.
What kinds of things do you do to keep your relationship strong? How do you juggle child/ren and having special time with your partner?

Sounds like you have a WONDERFUL weekend ahead!
You know it’s funny, but as soon as our kiddos started sleeping through the night, we’ve found that those 3-4 hours we have nightly between putting them down and then going to bed ourselves has become a kind of nightly date-night! (on the cheap!)
Wishing you all a wonderful and rejuvenating, romantic weekend!
