How to make your last-minute intimate night a success

March 13, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Keep a box, high on a shelf in your closet, specifically for these last minute romantic evenings.  Put a bottle of red wine inside, chocolates, candles, massage oil, new sexy lingerie you’ve never worn, and a satin blindfold.  

You can also put anything else in the box you would like to have available as your emergency supply kit.  Put an expiration date on the outside of the box, reminding you to use it by a certain date so that the chocolates don’t become stale.  

This emergency supply kit will go a long way in building the excitement of the evening and keeping things on hand that turn a regular night into a special night.
 
The reality when you have kids is that anything could happen anytime.  Be prepared for a knock on the bedroom door, or a crying baby.  Keep a robe for you and a pair of shorts or sweatpants for him by the bed the whole time so you can quickly leave the room to deal with the kids and get back.

It’s also important to know that something could come up that would take a while to deal with, or completely end the night.  If one of the kids gets sick or you have an emergency, obviously the romance will be postponed.  Know that coming into the evening and be determined to go with the flow and pick up on the romance sooner rather than later.
