Since this year we get to celebrate “Leap Year” and today is February 29th, Leap Day, I thought you would enjoy adding a little surprise to this once every 4th year day. Don’t worry you will find this easy and simple to do.

On a note card write:

Hi Sweetheart, “Since today is Leap Day let’s celebrate it by leaping into bed tonight and heating each other up!”

A Leap Day romantic surprise, that won’t break the bank and ought to put a smile on both of your faces.

As you know by now I am always looking for different things to do when you go out on a date with your sweetheart. Well I found a website that could peak your interest and give you something new to talk about with your partner.

There is a website that will help you find factory tours in your state, most are free and some places give free samples:

http://factorytoursusa.com

The tours can range from candy factories to a car manufacturing factory.

Did you know there is even a book out called “Watch it Made in the USA”?

Have you ever wondered how Crayolas are made or how to mine for gold? This book is full of factories that will unlock the mysteries on how things are made and done. Not only will you refer to this book to find out the factories near you that give tours but what factories you can go to when you are on vacation.

Find out what tours are available in your area and grab your partner to discover how things are made. Maybe there is a chocolate factory near you and you can sample some chocolate after the tour. Try to get dark chocolate because it will help to bring up the feel good endorphins in both of you.

A date that is a little different with your sweetheart with the bonus of something new to talk about when you go out for a snack later.

Do you think that once you are married you don’t need to do anything to keep the passion in your relationship? Well you are wrong. You have to work at making your relationship passionate and loving. There is a reason why I have so many couples coming up to Larry and me and asking us how they can have a relationship like the one we have.

Well it didn’t come about very easily and through trial and error we figured it out. One thing I do know is we have worked at it and March 18th we will be married for 45 years and the passion and love is still there. So if you think there is no passion after 45 years?  Well you are wrong! Most couples become lazy and think because you are married you don’t need to do anything to keep the romance going.  They think it should be spontaneous.

The Today Show had Lesley Jane Seymour of More Magazine and clinical psychologist, Jeff Gardere talk about the importance of keeping the passion in your relationship and what you need to do.

So get off your butt and go out on a date, do silly little things to let your partner know you care about them! Implementing some of the ideas I have given you at Surprise Kiss will help to keep boredom away and keep the surprise and passion in your marriage for years to come.

The weekend is here and you are tired of the predictable dinner & a movie with your sweetheart but what else is there to do? Well here is an idea I bet you haven’t thought about.

Call the Chamber of Commerce in your area or a city nearby and find out if they have an Art Night. Or call a local art gallery to find out if your city does anything like this.  This a venue were local art galleries will host an open house for you to come in and view what they have on display and talk to an artist or two.  There is usually live music and refreshments, and almost all of these openings are free of charge.

I looked on Google to see if there was an Art Night near us and the closest city is 1/2 hour away in the town of San Luis Obispo. It is called “Art after Dark” and it is always on the 1st Friday of the month from 6 PM to 9 PM. They usually spotlight emerging local artists.

Expand your date night by attending an Art Night Event. You will both feel like you are on a real date not just the boring dinner & a movie night. You may even find a piece of artwork you both like that would look good in your home. Something that reminds you of the fun you had on your first Date Night – Art Gallery Hopping.

Have you found your sweet spot with your sweetheart yet? You are probably wondering what I am talking about and it isn’t what you are thinking……  By sweet spot I mean something you enjoy doing together.  Something that makes you feel connected to each other:

• Cooking together
• Gardening
• Car Races
• Running
• Playing a sport
• Running
• Reading
• Etc.

A friend was telling me her husband has a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and they enjoy working on it together while listening to old school rock and roll. When they are done they wash the bike and go for a ride. She said she enjoys helping him and then climbing on the bike and wrapping her arms around him and letting the wind blow through her hair.

Larry and I enjoy cooking together. On the weekends we plan our menu, go shopping together and when we get home we prepare our feast while listening to soft jazz in the background.

One couple we know enjoys gardening together. Their backyard is beautiful and after a day of weeding, mulching and planting they sit in their yard with a tall glass of ice tea and enjoy the labors of their work. During the winter months they go through gardening catalogs and plan their garden.

Another couple enjoys reading together. They go to the library and pick out the latest book and in the evening they will sit by the fireplace, have a glass of wine and read to each other. Sometimes they will pick up a very steamy/romantic story to read. Talk about getting being the mood after reading a chapter or two!

Find the sweet spot that makes you feel connected, something you both enjoy and reminds you why you fell in love with each other.

I am reposting this just incase you missed it on Friday. Happy Valentines everyone!!! Enjoy!

Did you get the items I told you to get in my blog I posted late Thursday for Valentine’s Day? Just in case you didn’t get a chance to read it or you need a reminder here is the list:

• Valentine’s Card
• Sexy Panties
• Candles
• Romantic Music
• Something Bubbly to Drink

Hey guys, if you are reading this and you are planning on purchasing a pair of cute sexy little panties for your sweetheart, you will need to make sure you know what size to buy her. If you don’t have a clue what size she wears, look in her lingerie draw and check out the label for her perfect fit. There is always a tag somewhere in the panties.

Once you have picked everything up then you are ready to prepare for a fun and very titillating Valentine’s Day.

On Valentine’s morning hand your sweetheart the Valentine’s card you purchased with the panties tucked inside along with a note written in it:

“Happy Valentine’s sweetheart, I’d like you to come and play with me tonight!”

In the evening light the candles, turn on the music and pour your favorite bubbly in 2 glasses and enjoy the evening together.

Ladies:

Put on the panties you gave your sweetheart to think about all day.

Guys:

Let your sweetheart know how much you enjoy looking her beautiful body and can’t wait until she models her new sexy panties in the evening. The anticipation of those sexy panties should put both of you in the mood for a very fun and romantic evening.

Since Valentine’s is on Tuesday and you are usually too tired to think about getting in the mood on a week night then celebrate Valentine’s this coming weekend.  Whatever works for the two of you.

May you both have a fun and very titillating Valentine’s Day.
