I get the whole being together but not connecting thing. It's definitely something you have to make a conscious effort to do in all the busyness. My husband really craves that connection (he's the romantic) and I find it easy to get bogged down so I have had to be more sensitive to finding a moment to just sit and talk. We often have a cup of tea and play backgammon like old people and that is our chance to just be. Enjoy dinner!

Other nights, after the 4yo has played every card in her deck to get out of falling asleep, we're so tired ourselves that we go to bed. That 1:1 time is so important.Kaz @ Melting Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178176300022588861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-8365121257228930952015-05-28T16:23:32.640-07:002015-05-28T16:23:32.640-07:00It's so easy to let a week go by and barely se...It's so easy to let a week go by and barely see your husband isn't it.
