Ah, romance. Once up on a time, romance comprised of a bouquet of your favorite flowers, followed by reservations for a candlelit dinner at your favorite restaurant, ending with tickets to the latest movie/concert/show. Add in a couple spa massage and you have the mother of all date nights.
Romance tends to change post baby.
Now:
The new boquet: A boquet of lemon scented, freshly clean dishes. Simply beautiful.
The new candlelit dinner: A boxed dinner with step by step easy directions so that I don't have to: A. Provide detailed manual instructions to a frustrated husband who doesn't understand how to lightly sauté. B. Risk bodily harm from a hard headed husband who instead of ask questions would rather wing it (funny story about unpackaged ground beef floating in the kitchen sink to "thaw"). An added bonus if you can find a boxed dinner that requires only 1 pot and minimum utensils (you’d be surprised of the many ways your husband will attempt to use his BBQ tools).
The new movie/concert/show: Pre-recorded tv shows you've been DVRing but have yet to catch up on.
The new spa massage: Meet masseuse Ryan and masseuse Cassie.
Romance changes. Perhaps the most romantic thing of all is the effort to keep it alive no matter the substitutions :-).
