How often do you go for date nights after having kids? I find it so difficult now with 2. We hardly have couple time anymore :( all we talk about are the kids, the house, financial stuff basically all the boring bits. Anyone else feel the same?

Pick a day you can have someone handle them at home while you're on your date. Don't talk shop when you're out with hubby. This is the only time you get to show him you're still his sexy wife, not just that messy mum with applesauce-stained blouses. Plan a 'surprise' dinner - get all dolled up and ask him to dress up too (yes, it's an occasion)! Plan for a nice meal in a romantic restaurant - don't tell him where you're taking him till you get there. Some element of surprise is sweet. Make sure you have your mum/nanny scheduled to take care of the kids that night, keep devices away (if possible) and engage in conversations revolving around just the two of you. Get to know more about his job, his friends, bring up memories of your pre-baby days, talk about travel plans in the near future.... and stay for dessert!
