Keeping Things Hot in Austin

Now that you're sharing the responsibilities of having a child, you may be feeling more like your relationship is a business partnership than a romance. Remember when you fell in love? Remember how you'd drop everything to see each other? Instituting a regular date night is crucial to keeping the romance alive. Marriage may be work, but that doesn't mean that it can't be work that you love. By making the effort to remind each other why you're together, you'll be a stronger team for your baby. Here are some of our ideas for date nights for new parents in Austin:

Food Truck Date: Everyone knows that we have some of the best food in the country right here in Austin -- and a lot of it is coming off of food trucks. Why not enjoy our awesome Austin weather while chowing down at the food carts? When you explore Austin on foot you're likely to notice parts of the city you've never paid attention to.

Texas Hill Country Wineries: If you and your hubby/partner are wine lovers, head to the hills! Texas Hill Country, that is. Texas Hill Country is the second fastest growing wine region in the country. Check out a list of the best Texas Hill Country wineries

Staycations: You + Hubby + Big Bed + No late night feedings / diaper changes = bliss. Need we say more? Austin's Top Staycation Hotels.

My Turn/Your Turn: One of the biggest problems we hear between couples is this: "We just don't have anything in common." Go out on a limb -- try something that your partner likes, and in exchange have him do something you like the next time. Chances are that you'll have fun, and eventually you'll find something you both enjoy, even if that something is just each other's company!
