We are so excited to be here again at Somewhat Simple! For those of you who don’t know, my name is Corie and I am from the website, The Dating Divas! We know how easy it is to get lost in the daily shuffle of life and forget to “date your spouse.” The Dating Divas consists of eleven girls who love to date our husbands! We post original, inexpensive and fun date ideas that are a perfect solution for any marriage! We also feature crafts, marriage tips, ideas for holidays, and SO MUCH MORE! We enjoy dating our hubby’s so much that we want to share our ideas with YOU.
When did life become so busy? My idea today is something sweet and simple… you can have it ready within minutes! A few days ago, my daughter left a surprise note on my pillow and it made my day! I then had an idea to grab five post-it notes and write a quick note to my spouse on each one.
Now, this is the fun part….I decided to put the five notes in somewhat hidden places. There is nothing better than going about your every day life and stumbling across a note of thoughtful love! Check out some of the places I was able to hide my heartfelt notes…
My husband found three of the notes right away. The best part is… more love is on the way because two of the notes are still hiding! Thanks Stephanie for letting us stopping in again!
I am older than you girls. ( I think). I have been married to the love of my life for 29 yrs. and been with him 31 yrs. I did something like this the other day. I left him a small card on his pillow under the quilt telling how proud I am of him.
I have been very sick and he has had to not only work full time, but now do the laundry and all of the groceries and has to bring us supper most days after work.. He sometimes has just a bologna sandwich or a hotdog and that breaks my heart. He has not left my side except work for mths.
.
Sounds sweet about the note, doesn’t it? Well, he never said a word. I have been having to sleep in the guestroom for several wks with a lung infection so I wasn’t in our room when he went to bed.. I waited all the day the next day for him to say “something” but It came time for bed the next night and I was getting a little upset.
I finally said, ” Did you like your surprise?” “What surprise”? He slept with it the whole night and never knew it was there. He went looking and found it near the foot of the sheets. Oh well, there went that touch of romance.
I love him more than I can say so try to always remember to “guide them” with kindness and attention. I pray you all have wonderful husbands as your best friend. Suzette
I found a goofy looking little inflatable heart shaped pillow that said I Love You on it. I hid it in one of my husband’s chest of drawers and I waited for him to say something about it. He didn’t say a thing about it and then a few weeks later I found it in one of my less often used drawers. I then found a new “hiding” place for it. It has traveled all over our bedroom. We never talk about it, it just shows up in different places. We have even taken pictures of it and we have sent it in emails to each other.
My husband actually first did this years ago before we were married. One of the notes he left was on the nightstand. I still have it–now framed and hanging by my bedside.
This is such a great idea! I know with two kids and full time jobs for both of us it is so easy to forget to recognize each other. Thanks for sharing this simple but wonderful idea.
Love this! I am going to do this today! 🙂 Thanks Corie!
This is so sweet! Just clicked over to The Dating Divas site and love all of the romance and gift ideas!
