Need inspiration...romance is dead!!!

Posting here for traffic....

So today my DP said I'm not romantic enough which to be fair to him, he has a point although I could very legitimately say the same about him. I feel we're both a little to blame for the dwindling romance in our relationship. Especially since our DS came along three years ago.

So I've been thinking to Valentine's Day and what I could do to be more romantic. We won't be home. We're having a weekend away with our son as it will be the beginning of half term for us too. So although it's a weekend away, it'll very much be centred on keeping our three year old entertained for the majority.

I'm stuck for inspiration. This doesn't come naturally to me at all even though I really wish that it did. Any ideas from anyone who has romance at their finger tips?

Have a think about what your love languages are, this can really help you in showing love. For instance my DH’s love language is touch, mine definitely isn’t so I have to actively remember to show affection through touch so he feels loved.

Hope that helps a bit!

He should be coming up with some ideas too but if you’re happy to take the lead this time:

Fabric rose petals on the bed

Pack a little hamper of things for a bed picnic - nice box of chocolates, mini bottles of bubbly, scented candle, massage oil

I second the love languages thing, so useful.

Struggling to make a weekend away with a 3yo romantic I’m afraid.
