Do the hokey pokey????

Last night we did a wonderful thing with our 3 year old. We jumped up in the middle of the living room and did the hokey pokey. It was sweet and innocent and the highlight of both our day. It is amazing the fun our little man had seeing mommy and daddy actually doing the hokey pokey. It went much deeper that that however. Not only did we have fun with our son but we also showed him what a parent should be doing. His little brain is going to save that information up and one day he will jump up and do the hokey pokey with his kids. I thank my lucky stars for the woman in my life because she is on the same page with me and wants to show our kids what being a parent is all about. If you look at the statistics most parents that have problems had parents that had problems also. So our kids learn from us, so if you are not the best parent look deep in your soul then ask for help. Attend classes, read books, and break that cycles of how your parents treated you. Because there is nothing more wonderful then watching you partner play and enjoy your children.

Any time is a good time for a kiss on the cheek.

Sometimes we want to express our love for our partner when they are busy or doing something important. Maybe they are working on a project or just watching their favorite television show. This is a perfect time to just walk up and kiss them on the cheek without disturbing what they are doing. Don't wait for a return kiss, just kiss and move on. You will be surprised how that kiss will come back to you later. Don't believe me try it and see.

Experience small towns.

Another great and fun thing to do is to get out and experience small towns. Not just drive through them get out and walk around their main drags. Get to feel how they feel as they you walk and talk with them. Experience the small places to eat and the local shopping. Don't under estimate the feels of welcome that a small town has to offer. When picking a place you might look for towns with a college and enjoy their campus also. This is a great way to get to know the lay of the land and maybe find some new places you might want to return to some day. Look for walking trails the weave through the city and get you places out of the way. Then enjoy all the sights hand in hand and heart in heart.

Any time is a good time for a drive.

Long drives in the country are amazing and a great way for couples to communicate. Don't have a specific place picked out just get out and drive. If you are nervous about getting lost then take your GPS. Don't use the GPS unit until ready to go home. Fill your tank up and just head out making turns and looking for interesting things to do or see. Find a place to pull off and talk or take in some beautiful scenery while holding each other in your arms. Some of the most amazing times you will ever have are simply anyplace the two of you can be alone. So start seeking out these places on these wonderful drives.

Great Romantic Comedy - The Wedding Singer

One of the best movies to watch for a good snuggle up good time is The Wedding Singer. Featuring Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore. The 80's music kicks butt and the comedy is hilarious. The message of love hits hard in this movie as two star crossed lovers shake off bad relationships to find the one that truly is meant to be. If you lived through the eighties you will enjoy the movie just for all the funny references it make to that time frame. Adam Sandler drives home the music and the comedy while Drew Berrymore adds the cute and sexy parts to make this romantic comedy one of the best. The cameo by Billy Idol is really bad but if you loved the Rebel Yell King then it makes it okay.

text each other while sitting next to each other.

A fun thing to do and open up lines of communication is to text each other while sitting next to each other. Be a little flirty and don't use spoken words. Go back and forth and get a racy little conversation started. Before you know it you both will be dropping your phones and attacking each other. Plus it makes you feel young. Start learning the abbreviations now so you can save time later for this fun activity.

Celebrate the little things.

Celebrations are great but you don't always have to wait for a holiday or birthday to begin the celebration. Make a point to show encouragement for the little things like getting a new job or even a good grade on a test. Heck you can even go as far as to celebrate the renewal of your drivers licence. Make a production of these little things to show your partner that everything they do is important to you. Express your feeling for them with streamers, cakes, or balloons. Not only will they feel wonderful because of your love but you will feel special also.
