Just the Two of Us

Things can get pretty hectic in our house, we have five children as you can see all with different needs, different personalities and in different stages of life. It seem sometimes that me and my husband have to sneak to be alone. We have rare moments when someone from the church or family members will relieve us of the children , but never all at once. Spending time together is important to us. My husband is my best friend and I love spending time with him. So we came up with a few ways to spend time together just the two of us. Maybe you have five children like us or you have one and notice that you and the hubby are losing your Just the Two of Us time try these three quick tips.

1. Strict bedtimes: If you put the kids to bed at the same time each night when it is time for them to hit the sack you will have less of fuss and then you can spend more time cuddling with your boo.

2. Wake up a little earlier: Our house is as quiet as a mouse at 5 and 6am. So sometimes my husband and I sacrifice a little sleep to steal a few hours together. We may go for a walk around our house or enjoy a quiet breakfast. Whatever we decided to do its our time.

3. Brib family: This may seem far fetched but it works. My sister normally does not like to baby sit all five of my children, but if I promise her something she more apt to keep everyone and for a few hours we can get away and enjoy a good conversation in the park or a peaceful dinner at our favorite resturant.

These are a few of the things we do to get a little Quality Time. If you have some other things you do to get a little Just the two of us time do share.
