Marie spoke quite candidly about that three letter word many of us don’t like to talk about out loud. Yes, I’m talking about SEX. Her talk centered on how we as Christian women needed to be able to talk openly about sex with our husbands and how to find creative ways to incorporate sex back into our marriages.
Marie asked everyone to commit to the 7 day challenge – check out this link for more info- http://thesexperiment.com/sexual-chocolate-married. Here’s to making our marriages even stronger and our men even happier!
Marie also gave us a list of 50 date night suggestion. Here are just a few to get you started:
1. Make your own fondue – use a fondue pot (or crock pot) and dip fresh fruit, cake cookies, etc. into melted chocolate.
2. Have a game night – pull out your board games for some friendly competition.
3. Have a picnic – either outdoors or indoors.
4. Find out your love languages – take the 5 Love Languages Quiz at http://www.5lovelanguages.com/assessments/30-second-quizzes/love - end the evening with chocolate dipped strawberries
5. Try a new restaurant
6. Have a spa night – incorporate massages, bubble baths, etc.
7. Go for a test drive – head out to your nearest car dealership and test drive your dream car.
8. Make a monthly date calendar – give your spouse a list of 12+ dates on a card or a full size page. The more options he has to choose from, the better. Put some of his interests on their as well. Make him another sheet with that lists each month on there – add the date that he chooses to each month.
On Wednesday, February 15 we will be having another mother’s night out at Nicole Copeman-Maynard’s house (NEED ADDRESS) at 7 p.m. Bring your favorite dish to share as well as copies of the recipe so that everyone goes home with some new ideas.
Our craft of the day was bath bombs – easy to make! Here is the recipe for anyone that wants to make some.
Bath Bombs
1 part baking soda (1 cup)
15-20 drops of essential oil (any kind you like)
2-3 tbs of witch hazel in a spray bottle
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Mold or cookie cutter
Step 2 – Add essential oils to spray bottle with the witch hazel. Spray witch hazel mixture into baking soda mixture with one hand. With the other hand, continue to mix the contents of the bowl – you will feel the powder starting to get damp after several seconds (it only takes a tiny spray to get damp).
Step 3 – When you can clump the mixture in your fist, pack it tightly in to a mold or cookie cutter. Work quickly as the witch hazel dries fast! Step 4 – Let your bath bombs dry slightly, then gently twist the mold or push through the cookie cutter to pop them out on the parchment paper. Let them dry completely – keep them away from water until you are ready to use them!
Step 5 – Store them in a plastic container, seal them in baggies or wrap each one to give as gifts.Make Plans to attend the Share Your Faith Workshop on Saturday, February 18 from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Fellowship of the Parks (9900 N.
