I don’t want you to use any excuse to not have some fun this weekend. Be creative and think outside the movie and dinner out dating box:
One of the dates we loved when our kids were little was to bundle them up in their car seats and drive around until they fell asleep. Once they were good and knocked out, we would pull in to our local drive in theatre and watch a real live grown-up movie.
Obviously, this works best if you have kids who are sound sleepers.
Another cost-cutting advantage to this date besides saving on babysitters is that your car acts as a giant purse. You can smuggle in as many snacks as you like – guilt free.
Question for you:
Share your brilliance. What are you going to do this weekend to make sure that you and your husband have some fun this weekend? Leave a comment below!
I want you to brag on your husband today, and I have just the right place to do it – here on this blog. Tell the world why your husband rocks and you could win Table Talk:50 Conversion Starters to Restore the Lost Art of Dinnertime Conversation
Put it in the comments of today’s blog and one winner will be randomly chosen on Monday.
I will kick things off: My husband rocks because…
he makes our bed every single day (even if I am still in it sometimes – but hey, I am not complaining…)
First off – let me apologize for the blog yesterday. Between seeing it in my screen to it getting it to your computer – well, it went a little crazy.
Taking Care of You Tuesday
Not only does you husband want a hot wife – he deserves a hot wife! time to make sure you are taking care of yourself.
All I want you to do today is go find some lotion in your house. If you are anything like me, you have bottles of lotion in the downstairs bath, under the master bath sink and tucked throughout the house. Also, if you are like me, you hardly ever think to use it.
Take just 60 seconds and go use that lotion – on your hands, on your heels, rubbed into your elbows – whatever will make you feel cared for and loved!
Some of the most popular projects were the ones that are all about the food. As you think of a food to preapre that will be man pleasin” this week, here is a great one you may want to try if your man is all about the meat.
This recipe was contributed by Carla Dietz from San Jose, Ca
Blue Cheese Room temperature, sliced into several chunks
Instructions
Just after putting steaks on to grill, melt butter and pressed garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add mushrooms to saucepan.
Add salt and pepper, and let simmer over low heat, until mushrooms are tender.
When steaks are done to your liking, place a chunk of blue cheese on top of each sizzling steak. Then pour sautéed mushrooms over the blue cheese, allowing them to overflow over the sides.
Recipe Notes
Carla says: My husband likes to do the grilling part while I prepare the rest. It makes for a fun way to share the making of a meal! Add a green salad with more blue cheese, and some fresh baked bread with butter for a simple but delicious man-pleasing meal!

Have you got something fun planned for the weekend? Take a minute now to plan a little something-something for you and your hubby to do this weekend.
Here is just one idea from our list “20 Dates for $20 or Less”:
Starbucks— And not the drive thru. Go in, order a couple of tall lattes, two giant cookies, and soak up all that atmosphere.
Not the most creative idea on the planet, but the prize doesn’t go to the most creative woman – it goes to the woman who actually goes on a date with her husband.
Today is the official release date for my book, The Husband Project.
Thanks again to all who contributed to the book. In the coming year, I will be sharing parts of the book, great ideas and tips from women who have done the projects (y’all) and lots of free stuff.
Stay tuned – there are going to be some happy husbands around these parts.
