WAKE UP
1. If you have a baby then going out may have to be postponed till another day, however all is not lost! You can surprise your partner very early in the morning (wake them up!) with breakfast in bed :). It does not have to be a huge meal, just food that requires a quick prep and food you know they'll love! In the video below I show how to prepare Zobo Pap and Quick Akara, also how to decorate your breakfast tray!
SLEEP IN
2. Allow your partner sleep in. Daddies this is for you! Take care of the baby while mummy recharges her batteries and gets her much needed beauty sleep. When my mom told me I would not be able to sleep 7 hours straight now I have a baby I thought she was exergerrating...I wake up at least 4 times at night to nurse my son and extra hours in bed would be wonderful and a bouquet of fresh flowers like the one I got from FloralsAndYou will make me smile all day!
GO OUT
3. For parents with older children (toddlers), and grandparents close by or single pringles like my brother Uncle Junior, you're in luck. Find a way to make a reservation at your favourite restaurant (please make a reservation because Valentine's Day can be very busy and everywhere is booked), surprise your partner with a new dress or accessory, and whisk them away! Not every time cook, cook, sometimes eat out! Ofadaa.com has a list of Restaurants that will be having offers this Valentine!
STAY IN
4. No one to take care of baby? No worries. Now make sure you arrange for a romantic dinner and movies AT HOME. The only way this can happen is if baby gets an early night. Once thats done, turn down the lights, turn up the baby monitor, cosy up together with comfort food in front of your TV (I cannot guarantee 3 hours without interruption if your baby is still so young).

When I was in the university (unilag), my pocket money was on a weekly basis, so by Thurs, am broke.
ReplyDeleteOne very bad week like that, money finished a Lil early (wed) and I was just left with my transport money back home for the weekend and since I was broke, I decided, I wldnt be unnecessaarily hungry or if possible. I wldnt be hungry at all.
I stopped eating and started taking cabin and water from Wednesday morning, something happened and I had to be in school till sat morning, by Friday morning, the hunger was beginning to tell on me but I din't even notice cos I was broke. By evening, I was running temperature, while I was on my bed, a guy I had just started dating 2 months back called me and said he was downstairs and he wld love to see me, by then i was shivering .I went downstairs and wen I hugged him, he was alarmed, he was like "ure boiling" and I was like, its nothing ( I was still forming) and he was like we shd get to the pharmacy but before that you shd get sumtin to eat first! Na so, he took me to this restaurant ( huskies), bought me dinner and after I had dinner, temperature disappeared oh.. Lol. I was embarrassed but I sha formed I dont care.
I think he realized I was sick cos of hunger but he didn't say anything but all through that school year, he made sure we had dinner, lunch or sometimes both together. Its been 6years and I don't think there's anything he can do that would beat that. tmu2000@yahoo.com.
