My husband and I have a 9 month old daughter... he works as a chef in a high end restaurant, so many long hours. We miss each other and although we love our daughter so much, we needed a break for just the two of us.

We dropped my daughter off at my moms house for the day and night, spent most of the day at the spa for a couples retreat package, and then went out for a really nice dinner. Now we are cuddling on the couch watching a movie. We will probably take advantage of the fact our daughter isn’t here and get some much needed sleep and head to bed by 10 pm 😂

But my point is, I didn’t realize how badly we needed this day to take care of ourselves and our marriage until we finally did it.

If you can, you should definitely take the time to do the same! We can’t be our best for our children unless we are taking care of ourselves too ❤️ we all deserve it.
