For The Broke, Busy, And Singles.....

My Glamorous Mom Life

 The month of February can be frustrating for some people, it’s the month of Valentine’s Day and well let’s face it, not all of us get to celebrate it the way we like. You’re single, broke, or too busy with work and kids. Let me be the first to tell you you’re not alone and it WILL be OKAY. Today I want to share a list of ideas for the single, broke, and overloaded girls out there to feel special on any day. I personally had a great Valentine’s Day even though we are broke as a crash site, so my first list will be for the broke girls out there.

 

I will start with what we did; we got each other a little gift and nice card. That’s it. KIDDING!!! Lol We did do that but we made the day special. We are too broke to go out so I just made sure my son was happy watching his movie when my husband came home. I had candles and music and made a romantic evening right here at home. You can make a nice dinner, maybe something you don’t have often and have some alone time. It’s easy and cheap. Almost free lol. Make it as “romantic” as you like, whatever suits you and your husband. <3 J

Another great idea is a moonlit walk in a nice park (free!!!) and a nighttime picnic under the stars. Even if you don’t have a park nearby you can just use your backyard! It’s romantic and sweet. Personal. A walk under the stars is great for some good conversation, and stealing some kisses!!! ;) Depending on what you’re into a night in playing board games or video games could be just what you need!! There are all kinds of ways to have free date nights. Get creative. Next let’s talk about some ideas for the girls that are just too busy for dates and romance.

Okay, so you have to clean, work, take care of kids ect. And there’s only so many hours in a day, but there’s always time for romance with your husband. Lunch breaks have been dates for me and my husband when we just didn’t get chances to be together, even when we were dating sometimes that’s the only time I could see him. Make that 1 hour count!! If your lunch breaks don’t match up put the kids to bed early and order take out and watch a movie or whatever is you guys thing. Just enjoy some alone time with the peace and quiet. Maybe take a day off work (if possible without lying about being “sick” lol) take a day to yourselves, if its housework keeping from getting to go out forget about it, just let the dishes stack up for later, the laundry stay unfolded. Go out and enjoy each other. You’re marriage or relationship is far more important than a spotless house!!! Trust me, no housework got done when my husband got home on Valentine’s Day, we spent time with each other instead! You’re never too busy for love!

 

Now, if you’re reading this and thinking “what about the singles? We need to feel special too!” don’t worry girl, I got you. Okay first off you don’t NEED a guy to make you feel special, yes it’s nice and awesome but you are already special. God made you special and He loves you very much (yes I just quoted Veggie tales)! Girl, go to the spa, get your hair done, have a girls night out, whatever makes you feel special. Just because you don’t have a guy doesn’t mean you can’t go out and have fun. Shoot I’ve even gone to the movies alone before and found it to be so fun and relaxing! Me and my bestie have had so many girl dates and so many laughs together that we didn’t need a “date” to feel special and have fun!

 

I really hope this was at least a little helpful and maybe whenever you want to feel special or have a date night you will find a way and be creative and work with what you have. There’s always a way to have fun no matter what your situation. J Hope you have a very blessed February!!

Keep being glamorous and always remember Proverbs 31,
