Riiiiight… I wish. I was in the cuddle mode the other night, lookin’ around my room, when it occurred to me that I am totally in control of making little changes that could make a big difference to the end of these special moments with my hubby.  So here are a few ideas to take it up a notch from “Whatevah” to “Wowza! Much-bettah!”

If you want the low down on the whole setting the mood in your bedroom, go here!  One step at a time will turn a hum drum bedroom into whatever your wild {or tame} heart desires! Okay, I’m just gonna say it.  After the excitement, it is usually necessary to have a little cleanup towel or some cleansing wipes on hand, right?  Instead of having to get up {all nekked} and find these, how simply convenient to have already set some folded hand towels out on the dresser or next to the bed to make it feel like you’re being catered to.  Even better, reasonably invest in some nice hand towels to be your designated “his & hers towels” {literally}.  C’mon, yer girlie parts gotsta have something really soft!  {They’ll thank you..}

And if you want more of the luxury hotel catered feeling, why not leave a Fancy Chocolate on your hand towels?  I’m not talkin’ about one little M&M {but don’t get me wrong, I totally wouldn’t let one go to waste!} I’m talkin’ about  special chocolates like the truffles that make your mouth water just looking at them… okay, okay, you’re right!  Any chocolate will do the trick, but big nights deserve fancy chocolate.


What else? A tall glass of ice water {HE’s my tall drink of water ~ LOL} or your spouse’s favorite drink next to the bed can be just what the doctor ordered.  Yes, that was one {singular} glass.  After all, you just shared everything… you can share water – and no doubt he’ll appreciate the extra thought.  Can you hear his response already? “What? Oh, yeah, I do want some… thanks, honey!”

A few minute shoulder/back/neck/scalp massage {wherever your spouse might need it} is perhaps the sweeeetest afterthought because when the “main activity” is over, it says that you still are wanting to please and take care of him.  Instead of “slam, bam, thank you ma’am,” it’s these extra moments of care that make your involvement in love sessions just that much more invested. Last, but not least, hold hands as you fall asleep or softly play footsies as you wind down.  Then give your honey a heartfelt compliment.  So often we just assume that “we both thought everything was great” and we don’t verbalize it enough.  Tell your spouse you specifically loved ________ and thought he looked absolutely _________ or made you feel so __________.  Chances are, those same good points will be only magnified next time… Booh-yah! Win/Win!  Well… just sayin’! Happy Romancin’!
