For many parents of young children, celebrating valentine's day outside the house is not always an option!
Making time to get out and away as couples is very important, but we all know once you are a parent that option is not always possible; especially if you don't have a stay-at-home helper or a trusted family member to babysit. Maybe it's too cold to leave the house or you have very young babies, or the kids could be sick and need you, the list is endless!!
Part of you is so eager to connect as a couple; yet you fear you don't have lots of options. Well.. Fret not!!
I've decided to share some in-house valentine date ideas with you so you can still have fun and probably the best time of your life with your significant other.
Of course you must put your little ones to bed first and then pick what your like off the list ;)
1- Cook a meal together
You know what they say; "Food is the language of Love" so what if you both indulged in cooking a homemade meal together?
Find a new recipe (could be an easy one or choose a sophisticated one..) you both want to try, or just watch your husband's inner chef submerging as he let go of his creative cooking talents.
Results? You'll end up enjoying an activity, sharing a common interest, and finally enjoying your meal together.

4- Share your Interests
Do you remember how you used to go on a movie night spree before the kids? I mean real grown up movies and not Walt Disney or any animated movies? Well prepare a batch of popcorn (which you wont have to share with your little ones..) and catch on all the movies that you love yet you missed in the cinemas.
Or how about playing together? Pick some nice board game or playing cards?
Perhaps Truth or dare? Get to re-know each other while having some fun times.
If you want you can simply enjoy some quiet reading time in each other's arms!

5- Create your own Spark
Even if your staying home, dress up for the occasion, light up some scented candles around the house (or the chimney if you have one..), and put your favorite song (perhaps your wedding dance song..) and dance yourselves away!!
Be daring, get intimate, feel young again, and most important...remeber you were a couple first before you became parents :)
Life with young children doesn’t have to be the end of Valentine’s Day celebrations, or make it sound like any other day..NO!!! it just means making some changes to be able to include the whole family till the kids goes off to bed and then making it all about JUST the TWO of YOU..
