Today is my birthday. No need to throw
a humongous party for me. Over the years I’ve become cheap and easy. That is, one doesn’t have to spend a lot of
money on me and I’m easy to please.
Many birthday’s my dear hubby is in
another country and I’ve entertained myself or with the help of our three boys.
My 30th, I was pregnant with #1 and enjoyed a hot bubble bath and a
steamy book while drinking cranberry juice from a wine glass. My 40th
was spent getting a new hair cut while #3, a toddler at the time, played at my
feet. One birthday, the guys took me to McDonalds for breakfast before school.
Handmade cards and gifts are dear to my heart but I love when the guys involve
chocolate.
With kids and hubby’s schedule, the
challenge of finding the right moment for romance can be interesting. I’ve
found love notes on my pillow, dark chocolate covered strawberries and flowers
strategically placed around the house. Hubby even made a batch of chocolate
milk bath for me to soak my weary body in. My favorite way to celebrate is
hubby cooking one of his to-die-for meals followed by anything decadent. (Sometimes
the decadent part comes after the boys are in bed.) The fine dinner with wine
then some cuddling on the couch while a fire crackles in the fireplace is
heavenly.
Today I’m dreaming of a backrub at
bedtime, more wine and maybe chocolate syrup, whipping cream and silk scarf…
Hey, we age like fine wine – the older we get, the better we are. If anyone is celebrating a birthday this
month, have a great one and have some romantic fun!
