Take the time

My kids just got back from a week long adventure to DC and NYC with their school and I don’t know who had more of an adventure, the kids or us.

My husband and I used the opportunity to take a few days off work and bliss out a bit.  And it was just so nice to be reminded of who we are outside of co parents and household managers.

It’s not often that we can get away for a few days, and I’m sure the same is true for you.  But that doesn't mean we can’t get away for no days.  

We often laugh about what we used to do before kids and how did we fill our time. Well let me tell you, the relief of not having to have a carpool or dinner prep conversation felt like a vacation all on its own.

Pouring back into your relationship sometimes looks like making the time and sometimes it all aligns and you get to take the time.

Remember, there are lots of little ways to pour into the two of you.  And the most important way is to actually do it.  Send the text, ask the follow up question, plan the walk.  Don’t look for the big opportunity to reset, instead make the small ones just as meaningful and more consistent.

You got this!
