You won’t be sorry. Very good stuff.

Valentine’s Day is the day before my husband Larry's birthday, and it’s also my son Harrison’s
birthday, so between celebrating Harrison and romancing me, Larry can get a little lost in the mix. It’s not that we don’t celebrate his birthday, we do; it’s just that we’re celebrating everything right then and I think it’s hard to tell what’s really meant just for him. But I’m determined not to let him feel like he got the short end of the stick. The kids and I are going to make sure Daddy feels special this year. We have a fun Valentine date night planned (that involves some Phantom of the Opera tickets bought with the local’s discount), so we’ll do that, but for his birthday I have something else planned.
This year for his birthday I’m going to give my husband a day of his favorite things-go see a movie he picks, go to a restaurant he wants to try, give him free time to do what he wants (no honey-do lists from me), some fun time with the kids, and then a break from the kids. I’m also going to buy something that is just for him; something that says I was thinking about him (this is a suggestion from “The Love Dare”). The kids can pick things out too (doesn’t have to be expensive), and we’ll have a celebrate dad day on Sunday and put the things around the house (his bathroom counter, his desk, on his tie rack, etc). For instance-Larry loves the jerky with the Indian (sorry, Native American) on the package. He loves the mini donuts with the crumbly brown outside. He loves Ruby Red tangerine juice. He loves to wear nice cologne (and if we all say we picked it after smelling a whole bunch then he’ll like it even better). He wants some new workout shoes, and he wouldn’t mind a new tie and white dress shirt. I haven’t thought it completely through, but I’m thinking it’s a good plan!
