Valentine's Day advice for the tired working mom

Tips for working moms on how to keep some romance with your partner

I believe the best way to truly keep the romance with your spouse or partner is to take a vacation without the kids each year. Just get away. If you can’t take a vacation, steal a night or weekend and call in a favor of your family or friends to watch the kids. Nothing brings back intimacy faster than being in hotel with no children in sight.

Lastly, I am a big fan of providing my husband with a gift list. I am sure we have all heard once during our dating years or marriage “I don’t or didn’t know what to get you” from our husband. On the other hand, when they get you a great gift, be it random or for your birthday, your day is made. To ensure all your special days are special, make a list of potential gifts for your husband. From really inexpensive to the ultimate wish (like a 10th anniversary level) make up a list so he never has an excuse and you have a better chance of “being in the mood.”

May your and our Valentine have a very happy Valentine’s day.
