20 Ways to Have a Romantic Valentine's Day - No Babysitter Required!

By  12:44  No comments

Valentine's Day preparenthood often involves dinner reservations made weeks in advance, overpaying for a prix-fixe menu, and the expectation of a dozen red roses. Now that you're a mom? It's making sure that the class list is accurate so that your kid's got a card for everyone at school, tossing a little love note into their lunch boxes, and oh, right - giving your significant other a kiss on the way out the door. This year, spice things up a bit. No need to blow your budget on an extravagant night on the town. We've got 20 romantic ways for parents to amp up the romance on V-Day - no babysitter required!

  1. Re-create a special meal (a first date, a menu inspired by the food at your wedding, any other food that has sentimental value to you both).
  2. Sneak little love notes in his/her bag.
  3. Stargaze in your backyard or on your rooftop.
  4. Watch a classic romantic movie together.
  5. Give each other massages.
  6. Document your love story - baby-book style. Pick up a pretty blank journal or notebook, and together take a trip down memory lane, jotting down anecdotes about everything from your initial impressions of one another to becoming a family - and everything in between.
  7. Splurge and hire a private chef.
  8. Go the opposite route and order a pizza - eat it on a blanket in front of the fireplace.
  9. Watch your wedding video.
  10. Pick up Table Topics - Couples Edition - you may be surprised at what you learn.
  11. Flirt via text message throughout the entire day.
  12. Play board games in your PJ's - with wine.
  13. Get into bed early (wink, wink).
  14. Pick up some fancy wine and chocolate and have a tasting for two.
  15. Play bartender and perfect a fancy cocktail recipe.
  16. Plan your next family (or parents-only) vacation.
  17. It may not sound romantic, but tackling a home-improvement project (especially painting) can be supersatisfying.
  18. Have breakfast in bed - for dinner (and after the kids are asleep).
  19. Put on some great background music, and just talk - no TV, no distractions - just the two of you.
  20. Slow dance!
