being MVP: Plan the Perfect Date Night for Valentine's Day #YoursandMine #ad Plan the Perfect Date Night for Valentine's Day #YoursandMine #ad

Next month, Hubs and I will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it. Time truly does whiz by, even more so after the kiddos. Valentine's Day has always been special to me, especially during my dating years. It was awesome to receive (and give) some rocking gifts and plan for a special date night. Sadly, Hubs has never been the one to spoil me on Valentine's Day. He let me select a small gift while he was working (on such date) in Las Vegas for the first couple of years of dating. First year of marriage, guess who called Hubs? His ex! I was livid. Let's just say that year wasn't great. Now that I have kids, I try to do something special "from them" to "daddy" and prepare gifts for each of them as well as Kenzie's classmates. Kenzie's face just lights up and she starts dancing. I want that sort of spark! This year, since Valentine's Day falls on a weekend, I am excited to plan a surprise date night for Hubs and I. My mother-in-law is always gracious to watch the kids because she believes we need some "alone" time once in a while. Although I would love to have a couples massage, Hubs doesn't like massages in general so that is definitely not on my list.

We will have a delicious dinner at one of his favorite restaurants (because I'm so nice like that) and then perhaps watch a movie. No cell phones will have to be the rule. I've tried to enforce that many times at the dinner table (and even at restaurants) but Hubs seems to have extremely short term memory. I know that sounds standard to most of you but for us, who see a movie perhaps 2-3 times a year, it's a luxury. Excellent dessert is a must. Both Hubs and I have a sweet tooth and indulging in decadent sweets will make the night special. I picked up some K-Y® YOURS+MINE from Walmart for an evening of bonding. If you tell me that you are just as or even more intimate after kids and many years of marriage as you were while dating, I would have a difficult time believing you. From what I've heard from close friends, the passionate flame dwindles (for some even years!). My mom always told me that I need to spice it up to keep him interested so it will be a fantastic night to get closer to Hubs and build upon our relationship. Check out the Date Night pack at Walmart.com for discreet purchasing. For more great ways to celebrate romance this Valentine's Day, visit K-Y.com.

Special K-Y® DATE NIGHT Deal: ($50 value) 1 free meal for two people from PEACHDISH.com delivered to your door for an intimate night of cooking together, a $5 VUDU movie credit for you to stream right at home and the pleasure of K-Y® YOURS+MINE Couples Lubricants. Perfect for a date night in! Do you have a date night planned for Valentine's Day? How do you celebrate and rekindle the passion?
