DP and I both spend a lot of time on our various computers of a night time when Master Four, Miss Two and Master Four-Month-Old are all asleep. So every now and then I’ll send him a message on MSN, to tell him I love him, or send him a link to the movie he’s been talking about but couldn’t find for ten years, just little things to show him I’m thinking of him. Since he leaves his computer on all the time, it’s good for leaving him messages when he’s not home, because I know he’ll see it as soon as he gets home.

(And I’m inclined to think that Dora is a little hard of hearing, as well as being sligfhtly sight impaired. Poor girl)

Hey simplemom! These are GREAT tips. These are actually ALL things we know and try to keep up on around our place… great minds think alike! I too like to distinguish between date night and business mtgs. Unfortunately, many times business gets brought up on date nights and has a tendency to spoil the mood if not spoil everything! We’ve LOVED reading a book together before bed. I’m going to try leaving notes again with the idea that MAYBE… just maybe, someday I’ll get one back!
I’m glad I found your blog, I have you on my bloglines now.

@Jessica – I love the notes thing, too. Right now I have a sweet note left by my hubby on our bathroom mirror in dry erase marker. I don’t want to erase it because I don’t know when I’ll get one again! He’ll be the first to admit that this is one of his harder things to remember – it’s kind-of ironic that my main love language is words of encouragement, because it’s his last. Such is life sometimes.

I love the idea of leaving notes for each other around the house. I need to invest in some dry erase markers! Thanks for sharing this! And thanks for following me on twitter!

Very sweet. I bet you can get some “ew, gross!” comments from your boys pretty easily that way.

My boys are 7, 10 and 11. My hubby and I still go on frequent dates. It really gives us a time to reconnect. We enjoy acting like a couple of teenagers in love. (;
