Anniversary. Decided.

[eratmama]

Our anniversary is Memorial Day weekend. Pumpkin has never slept away from us, and Carrot hasn't since she moved in. Pumpkin sleeps like crap not at home. My parents are having both kids overnight in three weeks so we can go to a wedding in Chicago. They weren't sure about doing two nights yet.

We tried to make reservations at our fave B&B in Door County, but they have a three night minimum that weekend.

Long story-- we decided to use that money for a stay at home stay cation. We are going to hire a house cleaner (first time ever) so we can enjoy our house and not be too tempted to be productive. Go for fancy dinner.

Since our take over of the upstairs, our new bedroom hasn't quite felt like "ours" ( more like an apartment). I am hoping we can do a cheap makeover (new curtains? Night stands?). Maybe I will post pics and those clever among you (ahem, hens mum!!!!) can help me.

I figure one night with lots of candles & flowers . Any other ideas?

No ideas, but sounds great! Happy anniversary!

I love your ideas so far!

Perhaps you can hire a caterer to come and make you a special meal? They bring it,cook it and clean it. Culinary students will often do this for a reasonable fee. You can also hire a masseuse to come to the house for some pampering.

I like the makeover idea a lot! Anything to make the room feel more cozy is a good thing. You deserve a relaxing retreat!

Love! Your parents are still giving done childcare right?? Stay cation requires some babysitting!

And i would looooove to help with your makeover! Get me some pics of the space and the style you have in mind and i can put together ideas for you! Fake shopping and designing is so fun!

Okay,I feel dumb now. You wanted decorating advice and I gave you romance tips. I guess I am romance deprived and planned to live vicariously through you,lol! Sorry!

I keep seeing this thread pop up again and thinking I should come in to ask how it went. And then I remember that Memorial Day is still a bit away. Your plan sounds fun though! You could do a mini spa event together - give each other massages and pedicures and stuff. Or just take lots of naps...
