It’s Friday and I promised I would reveal what to do with everything your needed for Easter! Did you purchase the items I told you to get on Tuesday for a Romantic Easter? If you haven’t gotten anything yet here is a reminder of everything you will need. You don’t want to miss this because your sweetheart will be hopping next to you all day!

• 2 Plastic Easter Eggs – that open in the middle
• 2 Sheets of Pastel Colored Paper (I found heart shaped post-it-notes at Wal-Mart)
• Something sexy to wear
• Candles

Once you have gotten your items you will want to be prepared ahead of time so you won’t have to worry about doing this at the last minute.

Ladies

• Give your sweetheart a plastic Easter egg in the morning with a folded note inside: Hay! Peter Rabbit why don’t you meet your Honey Bunny in the bedroom tonight and I will give you an Easter you won’t forget! You could hide this in his underwear drawer.
• In the evening after the kids are in bed get ready by putting something sexy on or your spouse’s favorite item they like to see you in for that romantic feeling.
• Before your Peter Rabbit hops into the shower put another note inside a plastic Easter egg and lay it on top of a clean towel that says: “Hay, Peter Rabbit your Honey Bunny is waiting to hop around in bed with you tonight. Hop! Hop! Hop!
• While your Peter Rabbit is showering light the candles.
• When Peter Rabbit walks into the bedroom there will be a soft glow of candle light and his Honey Bunny walking up to him and giving him a big kiss. Then hop into bed and have lots of laughter and fun together!

Men

• Do everything above but change everything that says Peter Rabbit to Honey Bunny and change everything that says Honey Bunny to Peter Rabbit.

You both will be singing “Oh, what an Easter night!”

Remember when you were dating how you liked to have fun with each other? Doing something silly like this helps you keep your romance alive!

Keep those sparks flying!

On March 3rd I gave you a list of things you needed to get to surprise your sweetheart on St Patrick’s Day. The title was “Have a Little Fun”. The big reveal was last Friday, March 12th in my blog “St Patrick’s Day Romance”. Are you prepared to create a very special evening for what most people don’t consider a romantic holiday?

When I thought of the idea I kept thinking about the movie called “Indecent Proposal” made in 1993, with Robert Redford, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. It is about a couple (Demi & Woody) who flies to Las Vegas hoping to win money to finance a real estate project the husband wants to do. They of course gamble all their savings away. While they are there a billionaire (Robert Redford) is attracted to the wife and offers the husband one million dollars to be able to spend the night with Woody’s wife. The couple decided together she would spend the night with the billionaire. They get their million dollars the next day. There is a scene where they are in bed with the million dollars thrown all over the bed and they make love. Of course there are ramifications. They had not considered how it would affect their marriage.

I remember watching that scene and thinking wouldn’t it be fun to make love with all that money in bed with you but without the ramifications in the movie.  Even though it is only play money you and your spouse do not have to sell your soul to get it. Your spouse will never forget the fun you had playing with your pot of gold on St Patrick’s Day. Oh, what a guilty pleasure!

Keep those sparks flying!

I want to tell you about a couple who loved each other very much but had never gone away for their anniversary. They had been married for 18 years! One day I was telling Cynthia about how I would put away $5.00 a week and that I would save $260.00 in one year. I also told her how much fun it was to go away and pay cash for our romantic weekend and the beautiful places we would stay at.

At that time I was actually collecting money from a few couples and when it was their anniversary I would hand them their envelope with the $260.00 and the dates written every time they handed me their $5. I would wrap it up with a French ribbon and give them a happy anniversary card and a bottle of wine.

Cynthia loved the idea and immediately handed me her $5 and I would call her every week to remind her to send me her money. I told her to make reservations at the inn she wanted to stay at six months in advance. Their anniversary arrived and a couple of days before they were to leave for their romantic trip Cynthia and I met for lunch. I handed over her envelope and wished her a wonderful weekend with her husband.

When she came back from her trip she called to tell  me thank you for telling her about the importance of taking time out to be together as a couple and celebrate their wedding anniversary. You see Cynthia and Tom have two boys and both work fulltime. Tom works nights and Cynthia works days and they pass each other in the hall saying “Good Morning and Good Night” as one would come home and the other was leaving for work.

Tom and Cynthia decided to go to Pacific Grove per my recommendations and stayed at our favorite little inn. It was shortly after 9/11 and I thought for sure they would decide not to go away but to my surprise they kept their reservations and went anyway. It rained most of the weekend but she told me it was perfect for them. They sat by the fireplace in their room and talked and talked and talked. They talked about their goals, love for each other and the boys. Tom brought a book of poems and had tagged the ones he wanted to read to her and he got her a box of magnetic alphabets that they could put on the refrigerator and write notes to each other and the boys. They even walked in the rain!

Cynthia told me they didn’t realize what they had been missing and that they would go away for their anniversary from now on. I didn’t need to collect their money ever again. They understood the importance of reconnecting with each other at least once a year. As a matter of fact I just got off the phone with her and they were coming back from an impromptu little getaway to San Francisco this weekend. I was asking her how long Tom and her have have been married and she told me 26 years!

Every year around their anniversary I love hearing about where Tom and Cynthia are planning on going to celebrate their special day. There is a big smile on her face and mine because we know they are keeping the romance in their marriage.

If you want a loving relationship like Tom and Cynthia keep saving $5.00 a week!
