~~~  Contest ~~~

Thanks to all who entered last weeks contest.

From  all the correct entries I randomly chose a winner for last week:
Richard R.  Dymmel of Greensboro, North Carolina

Answer to last week’s question:  33

*** This week’s contest:

There are so many ways you can spice  up your marriage bed without
going out to a *special* store for items.   For example, a man’s
old silk neck tie can be used as a blind fold or just to  stroke
the body. An ice cube can send shivers down the spine if put in
the  right places.

This weeks contest is to send me a list of 10 ordinary  household
items that can be creatively used in a passion session. You  need
to explain their use too. You can send in more than one  list.

I’ll pick 5 of the best lists of submissions to receive my  entire
Love…making Collection ($87 value) or any 2 items from the
prize  vault.

mail your answer to me at tipofweek@aol.com and put “household  items”
in the subject line.  In the text of the email give me your  answer
along with your name and city where you live.

TheRomantic.com’s  ever growing PRIZE VAULT is filled with over 100
books, board games, CDs,  other fun stuff  at

BABY ON BOARD
by Michael   Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

I’ve done hundreds of media  interviews over the last ten years. One
of the questions that is logically  asked is “do you have any
children?” When I said that we didn’t have any  children (up until
a 7 years ago), the reporter would usually state that the  romance
would come to a screeching halt once the baby arrived. I  wasn’t
sure whether to be mad at them or simply pity them.

Yes,  romance can go out of the window when children arrive if your
concept of  romance is exchanging expensive gifts, dinners at fancy
restaurants and  exotic vacations. While those things can be nice,
they really speak little of  your love for one another. Anyone can
throw money around to try to impress  another person. Real romance
goes deeper. As I’ve stated before, romance  comes from the heart,
not out of your wallet.

So, how did I keep the  romance alive during our first few months
as parents? Here are just a couple  of ways I have let my son help
me express my love for Athena.

When our  son was sleeping, he often liked to put both his arms
straight out from his  sides. One time I took a sheet of printer paper
and cut out a comic “bubble.”  I put the bubble right above our son’s
head as he was taking a nap. When  Athena went to check on him, she
saw him sleeping with outstretched arms and  a “bubble” that said,
‘I love my mommy this much.’

Most new parents  carry around photos of their children and on the
back is written the age when  the picture was taken. Once I took one
of our press photos and cut out Athena  and put it in the pouch on
our son’s outfit. When Athena discovered it, she  saw that he (with
dad’s help) had scribbled on the back of the photograph,  “Mommy,
age 31.” He just loves showing off photographs of his beautiful  mom.

Don’t let anyone con you into thinking that the romance has to  cease
just because you have children. It’s a terrible myth that needs  to
be exposed and  destroyed.
