Saturday Sweethearts: Doin' It All For My Baby

My husband LOVES to take pictures. He doesn't get much time to, but that doesn't change the fact that he would love to if he had more time.

Lately at work, he has not been able to be as creative as he would like. He shared with me the other night how sad that made him and how he really needs an outlet to be creative.

So I hit the thrift stores in search of props for him to use with his pictures. (You know, like the bunch of flowers and petals they have at Walmart and Kiddie Kandids.)

Then, I put together his make shift studio (which is just PVC pipe and sheets sewn like curtains to go on the PVC pipe). It was taken down shortly before we put our house on the market (August) and just stayed down since the move. I set everything up for him to be able to take pictures this weekend.

I encourage you to think about something that your husband likes to do, but is unable to because of time (or maybe even because of lack of support from you). Think about how you can encourage him in this area and then make a plan to accomplish it.

Maybe he needs more time to be able to do something he loves (like play golf). Let him know that should he want to play golf next weekend, you would make plans with the kids so he could have the free time to play golf. Maybe he would like to paint, encourage him to get out his paints and paint! And of course this is an activity that the kids can get in on too.

Whatever it is he would like to do, think about how you can make it happen and then MAKE A PLAN to make it happen. While it may be true that if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, the same is true for our men. I know that when my beloved is sad, we are all sad. But when he is happy, BOY are we all happy!!! :D

Remember, THESE ARE IDEAS FOR YOU (not your husband). YOU are to romance your husband! I was inspired to do these Saturday Sweethearts based on a book called Romancing Your Husband by Debra White Smith. PLEASE get a hold of this book and read it. It is a really good book and will really change your life. :)
