My girls are so excited about Mommy time- we couldn't do it yesterday because the boys decided they didn't want to take a nap- we went to the pool instead :) Fingers crossed today we can pick an activity from our Mommy time jar!! :)Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329246820838281221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-68233403762363381922016-08-02T22:07:32.313-04:002016-08-02T22:07:32.313-04:00I loved that you asked your girls to help you with...I loved that you asked your girls to help you with your goal to play with them. They look so excited for their mommy time and I love that you set some ground rules. Smart thinking. I bet these activities will easily be the highlights of the rest of their summer break. Those conversation cards look like so much fun. On road trips Kevin and I will play a silly game of would you rather. We make it up as we go and personalize it to us. Would you rather craft with Martha Steward or cook with The Pioneer Woman for a day? Would you rather play coach Notre Dame football or be the QB on a Notre Dame team? It's silly, but we always come up with good ones. Our date nights in have been struggling lately. In the past we have made a fun treat together after the kids are in bed, take turn picking movies for a movie night in, patio date, cheese sample tray to try new snacks, late dinner for 2 or do a book club together (we each read the same book and talk through it). Love your game plan for your goals this month!!PolkaDottyPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251286113250727239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-5702723028540802312016-08-02T12:12:21.164-04:002016-08-02T12:12:21.164-04:00Being intentional can be so hard with the go! go! ...Being intentional can be so hard with the go! go! go! world we live in.

Have you gone to the website Dating Divas? They have lots of dating ideas, including at home ideas. I use their printables sometimes for family movie nights etc, not just dating. My favorite time with Michael lately has been taking an evening walk...a little fitness and lots of talking, even though it's SOOO hot!

Shared to Pinterest and I'd like to feature it next week on my Tuesday Talk space!

As I put him to bed last night he said "and last but not least the mommy lion snuggles with her baby as the sun sets." Thinking of him growing up and of course not wanting to snuggle with his "mommy lion" made me realize playing with our kids is SO worth it! Just wanted to share that encouragement from someone working on the same goals! :)Ajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637769283400915775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-48362290973174042162016-08-02T06:44:36.663-04:002016-08-02T06:44:36.663-04:00Love the conversation cards idea!!!Love the conversation cards idea!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637257034400186189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671673678384459670.post-92135857312655015512016-08-02T06:23:42.185-04:002016-08-02T06:23:42.185-04:00What a great idea putting the girls ideas in a mas...What a great idea putting the girls ideas in a mason jar!! <br /><br />Ben and I LOVE "deck dates" we will usually have family time on the back deck... Dinner or watching a sporting event. (Ben brings a tv outside and several years ago we had a cable hook up installed on our back porch) then after the kids go to bed we will stay outside and just talk!! Love it!
