How to have a last minute night of romance even if you have kids

March 13, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

While all moms would love to be able to put on sexy lingerie (like Totally Sexy Lingerie’s floral sexy bra and panty set) and have an amazing night whenever the mood strikes them, most of the time it is nearly impossible to have a romantic night without planning.

What’s the number one reason a last-minute intimate night is difficult?  The kids.  The best way to work with them to allow you time with each other is to include them.  Focus on them at dinner… talk or play with them, and try to get them to use some energy. 

Choose a family dinner that everyone enjoys, but choose something that cleans up easily.  The last thing you want to be stuck doing after the kids go to bed is kitchen clean-up.  After dinner get the whole family involved with whatever cleanup needs to be done.

After you’ve played for a while, sit down as a family and read or do something more calm that requires them to settle down a bit.  Perhaps a movie for them would be a good choice - something slow and quiet that they would perhaps fall asleep to.

Use this time to flirt with each other and start building up the mood.  Steal glances, exchange suggestive looks, and squeeze in some holding hands or kissing just relax and don’t be in a hurry to get this time with them over with.  Enjoy it.

A little while before you are going to put them to bed, turn on some music in your bedroom, the music will let them adjust to the noise before they go to sleep and will help you feel less pressure to be so quiet once they’ve drifted off.

Now serve dessert after the kids go to bed… serve an elegant dessert to help put you both in the “together time” mood.

Don’t serve dessert until you’re ready to focus on each other. Cuddle on the couch and listen to the music you turned on while you eat dessert together, or take it into the bedroom and feed each other.

From there, just relax and enjoy each other!
