Dating My Husband

I’m a firm believer in dating your husband after marriage.  Especially after kids! I really encourage you all to do so…Make sacrifices if needed.  Buddy up with another family and trade off date nights and kid sitting once a month.  Find a reliable teenager to come over after your kids are asleep to go grab a warm beverage and catch up on life. It doesn’t have to be elaborate.  It doesn’t have to be costly. It doesn’t even have to be lengthy. It’s a valuable time set aside to keeping your marriage fresh.  And please don’t let guilt take away from your time to pour into your relationship with your husband, as I have during the past 2 years.  

Thankfully, the end of the summer has held several opportunities for Brad and I to sneak away, enjoy some peaceful conversation, and time to date.  Which has been a true break from the intensity of quad parenting! Thank you family and dear friends!  We cannot say it enough! 

One of our favorite times together involved a relaxing dinner at Petite Chou.  It’s such a charming cozy find! And their food is delightful!  It currently holds my #1 Spot for Favorite Restaurants in the City. Brad and I split the Chicken Crepe with Asparagus and Mushrooms, along with their famous Frites (French Fries).  I wish I were eating it right now!

And we just had to save room for dessert once we saw this on the menu…

Cowabunga!  It was even better than it looks!  A dessert crepe filled with mixed berries and topped with warm ganache and cream.

Check, Please!

(Side Note: Petite Chou did not solicit this promo of their delightful eats, pay for our meal, or even give me a free T-shirt.  My own stomach is doing all the talking.)

Other dates have involved chillaxin’ at Barnes and Noble, taking a walk around Monument Circle, and dressing up like Egyptian Pharaohs

You don’t believe me?
