But let's get real: rekindling that romantic spark with your partner can sometimes feel like trying to paint your toenails during nap time—an admirable notion, but a logistical challenge.
Psst... Romance isn't out the window. It's just under that mountain of onesies!

2. Date Night: An Extreme Sport
Who knew planning a date night post-baby could require more strategy than a military operation?

Hot takeaway: Your little one doesn't need to be the only one drooling tonight!
3. Embrace the Element of Surprise
Sure, spontaneity now might mean an impromptu cuddle fest while baby naps, but surprises can reignite the flame. Leave cheeky notes in surprising places. Plan a quick getaway even if it’s just to the movies down the street, or unexpectedly relieve each other from baby duty to soak in a bath.

Laughter might be loud, but it's better than the sound of silence when it comes to keeping love alive.

Let the crazy hairstyle days remind you that every lost bobby pin is part of a shared new laugh or a snuggly moment. So, let the rekindling journey become an adventure in itself, filled with comedic mishaps and tiny victories.
