Sweet Motivational Treats on a Monday
Hi Tea Set at TCC
Tasty foods and sweet treats have always a motivator for me. I look forward towards the weekend when I can eat out and try various different foods at recommended cafes and joints. During one of the weekends out with R we went on a tea date at TCC while the kids were all over their grannies for the afternoon.
Having time to spent with him without the kids is something which I really look forward to. Time spent as a couple is time which I really treasure. It’s really difficult to get time away from the kids without and with R traveling for work so often it’s extremely difficult to schedule couple time. Time is really very precious for me.
Besides having the kids as my motivators, one of my motivators is counting down the days till I meet up with R again.
Absence does make the heart fonder and it works as a push to get me working hard to achieving my goals.
Does the potential to spend time together with your love one motivate you?
This week I am sharing this classic tune by Earth Wind and Fire.

Oh, I love spending time with family.

Ooh! Sweet treats! 🙂
Yes, couple time is a MUST.

Spending time with the one I love is something I really look forward to. It motivates me to get up in the morning. Good luck on your “reunion” with R 😉

Having small kids myself, it can be challenging getting time alone with my hubby, but I agree that it’s important to have. Loved the Earth, Wind and Fire video clip…can you imagine that their outfits were ever in style? 🙂

Are we talking about the chance to spend time with sweets or our loved ones. They are one in the same for me – so YES! 😉

That’s so sweet. I definitely agree with you. It’s a matter of finding time to bond with your partner to keep the fire alive. Specially that there are kids in tow. As a wife, I guess it’s part of the whole package to be able to be sort of like the “organizer” for that couple’s date. You know what I mean? I just couldn’t find the right words for it actually. 🙂

Its always good to look forward to the next “pak tor” date with your hubby 🙂

The joy of anticipation of seeing a love one also excites me and gives me motivational uplift. Nice sweets love it!

Since we are so busy the whole week so we reserved Sunday for family time.
January 28, 2013 @ 1:43 pm
Awww, this post is sweet in many levels. I understand what you’re going through, and I’m happy to learn that you still look forward to these times. 🙂

Time well spent together is something that money can’t buy. Good thing you guys are having some quality time together once in a while.

That has got me reflecting alright. Alone time for DH and I has been elusive recently what with our two little girls around us all the time. Great post! I love how the sweets were arranged. 🙂
January 28, 2013 @ 5:41 pm
Oh yes, definitely! It is always the highlight of the week, to be able to spend time with my loved one. And I believe it is essential in life. 😉

I used to love eating sweet things, but for the last couple of years I’ve given them the cold shoulder. I don’t do enough exercise to eat the extra calories. As for family–how I’d love that. My family are all on the other side of the globe. My husband and I have each other, and that’s a great comfort to me.

Motivation is a hugely person thing. For me it’s my family, my partner and my passion for my work. What a fabulously motivational blog to kick off Monday with 🙂
January 28, 2013 @ 8:12 pm
Absolutely. I can relate. I totally love “alone time” with my DH whenever I can get it. You gotta take advantage of those opportunities, especially if you have small one such as yourself. So enjoy all of them you can. Thanks for hitting the dance floor with us at Monday’s Music Moves Me, my friend!

It’s funny, now that my daughter is a teenagers, my often than not she is out with her friends, and my hubs and I have more alone time than we could have imagined…which is nice, but I miss my daughter! I guess this goes in the “be careful what you wish for” category!!

We don’t have any children together, but he has a daughter from a previous relationship that comes over on weekends. I work 12 hour shifts at work so it is hard for us to be ready for couple time at the same time. We see each other every day, but because of our different work schedules we rarely eat meals together and sometimes end up being more like roomates than a couple. We try to go to the movies, or out to a sports bar to watch our favorite teams as much as we can!

You do have to keep those dates going with your hubby. It keeps you both happy and sane for the kiddos;)
January 29, 2013 @ 2:17 am
Well, this is a date night song back in the day of course. Shakin’ your booty on the floor!!! Love quality time with the hubby that’s for sure, but I get it all the time because my kids are grown. You’ll have your day my friend. For now cherish the moments!!! Have a great week.

Hubby and I are planning a date night for Valentine’s Day. I want to go see the new Die Hard movie, but he wants something more sentimental.
Earth, Wind, and Fire is perfect for today! See you for WW,
Danielle

Time is very precious, isn’t it? Those treats look so yummy! And I love your song choice, too! 🙂
January 29, 2013 @ 8:10 am
Oh yummy treats!
I almost picked this song. Glad I didn’t. There are many of us that were thinking alike with this band but picked different songs. Love it.

Yes it does. In fact, anything I am looking forward to, motivates me. It makes me extra sappy happy. 🙂

I’m so glad you have this richness with your spouse.
I keep praying for the same.
Love your musical selections.
Have a positive week girl 🙂
