I have been asked thousands of times how I got to be so romantic.
There were some really bad marriages in my immediate family and when
I met Athena I knew that I would never want to hurt her in any way.
I just adored her and would do anything for her even if it meant
learning to be romantic. Are you the type of woman that men just
adore and never want to leave? Find out what makes an adorable
woman here: http://www.relationshipheadquarters.com/

Last week’s contest was on “Romantic Surprises”. How have you

Chapter Carrots
by Cristen Hammel
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

Last year when I was pregnant I began reading parenting books. I
skipped the pregnancy books because I am a nurse and know pretty
much what to expect when I am expecting. Parenting on the other
hand was unchartered territory!

So I set out to find different ways to raise children so I could
have several resources to pull from when the time came. I thought
it would be even better if my husband read the same books. So, I
would read one and pass it on to him.

He was interested but would much rather read The Far Side or
something like it! So to encourage him I promised different prizes
for every other chapter read (I would discretely slip redeemable
coupons at the end of every other chapter).

We would discuss what we had read and then we would go for an ice
cream, go for a walk, I would give him a massage etc. When we
finished a book we would go see the monster trucks (his favorite) or
a movie (our favorite) etc. It made reading more enjoyable and it
gave us time to talk about what we had read with a little reward to
boost!
