Since Layla as been born Nick and I's relationship has sort of taken a back seat. We have made time for date nights once a month but we were still feeling disconnected. I work nights and he works during the day in order to avoid childcare, so we sometimes feel like business partners. This was really starting to get to us, we have always been a strong couple. Nick came up with a great idea... cooking together as a way to get connected once again.
Once a week we go through Layla's routine together, prep dinner while Layla plays and then start cooking after Layla is on her way to dreaming about bottles and teddy bears we start cooking a big tasty meal together. It is a late dinner but we eat together and we actually have a second to talk to each other about how our weeks are going and what are plans are for the weekend. SO far it has really been great for us!!! We have had one time that Layla just was not ready for bed but thank goodness for pack n' plays.
Staying connected with Nick is so important to me. He has always been my best friend, I have even lost a friend (its a long story). So here is to a strong marriage to an amazing guy!!!
Take care all
Nyki
