So, in trying to make room in our teeny little apartment for a baby {I forgot just how much stuff babies need!}, I found some props for a date I’d planned… and we never did. Eek. Well, it might end up being our Valentine’s date this year, since we will have a 4-day old newborn and it’s already planned. And it can be done at home, with the kiddos or after they are in bed.
Here’s the How:
You’ll Need-
– Love Bucks
– Love’s Little Rewards Brochure
– A bottle of your favorite bubbly drink
– Dinner (ingredients or money)
– Lotion or massage oils (optional)
Directions-
1. A week or so before the actual date, start handing out Love Bucks for things your sweetheart does to help out. Be generous. Did he take out the trash? Five Love Bucks. Do the dishes? Ten Love Bucks. Bathe the kids? Forty Love Bucks. You get the idea. And you decide how much each task is worth. You might even want to clue him in and let him award you Love Bucks too.
2. The morning of your date, give your sweetie the Love’s Little Rewards brochure. Don’t say anything else, just hand it to him as he walks out the door. He’ll figure it out (hopefully) or just be really confused (maybe).
3. When he gets home, ask him what he thought. His choices will determine your date. If you chose to award each other Love Bucks, take a few minutes, sit down and decide what you’d like to do together. Now, get ready for your date to begin.
4. Follow through with the things he (or both of you) chose from the brochure. Enjoy your evening together. A week of kind acts and a date? Sounds like win-win to me.
