4 - Have a pedicure.
5 - Plan a family lunch or picnic
6 - Aim for an hour of quality time with your partner
7 - Share some family memories and arrange a photo album together or watch DVD’s of your kids when they were babies.
8 - Hand the bedtime routine over to your partner then...
9 - Have a hot bath, read a book or magazine and get to bed early.
10 - Count your blessings. |
