Recently Sam and I celebrated out 5th year wedding anniversary - romantically! - WITH our kids! "wow! is that ever possible?"
We are strong believers in hang a balance in life and that our children learn from what they see - so we wanted to show them some romance! At about 10pm the night before our actually anniversary date we spontaneously decided that we wanted to do some special - I wanted a romantic getaway - a bubble bath, swimming pool, delicious food, nice drinks and great company! At first thought this all sounds like 'too much' and that it would cost a fortune, but those doubtful beliefs didn't stop us from googleing!

Nice surprises
We had so many options to choose from! We decided to head into Brisbane city to the lovely Watermark Hotel, we just wanted one night but we wanted the 'works'. We arrived early afternoon and got up to out room with the lovely surprise of a box of chocolates, massage oil, bubble bath, bath bomb & chocolate body sauce! (which Charley ate LOL)! I loved seeing and feeling the excitement of both sam & I and the kids, so much fun! so we got into the chocolates while we looked out the window to see the city view. The next best thing was to go for a swim in their pool…. we had the pool all to ourselves! Charley is really enjoying swimming at the moment so she was thrilled!
After our swim we decided that it would be fun to walk into the CBD and explore the surroundings, get something to eat and watch 'city life'. Our initial thought that was it would be fun go somewhere for dinner, then we spontaneously (there's that awesome word again) that It would be heaps more fun to buy stuff from the supermarket and eat in the beautiful Roma Street Park that was opposite our hotel that we explored earlier on.

We all played in the park with each other. I love these moments when we're all giggling and having so much fun… all barriers are down and we're just celebrating 'togetherness' - these are moments that we need to remember more often!
We got back to our room with yet another wonderful 'sexy' delight :-) Strawberries (massive ones) covered in chocolate….. OH MY GOD!!!! PLUS a bottle of champagne which we asked to swap for red wine, and they happily did so (no extra charge)!
Our kids enjoyed a bubble bath while sam and I chatted. Included in our Temptation for 2 package was a New release movie of our choice…. we didn't go for a 'romantic' movie instead we choose the Hang Over 2 :-D. Sam and I felt like some drinkies.... cocktails and in particular - Toberlone cocktail, it's our favourite. Sam requested these through the bar, they actually didn't know how to make them, so they googled it and check out the result!!!! This was a WOW factor, Chunks and all! We've had these in the past and these ones made for us are 2nd to none! The night just continued to get better and better!

Buffet Breakfast! YUM!
After our fun and well rested night we had THE BEST buffet breakfast EVER!!!! 5 years ago we had a good one at the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne, but this - was TOPS!!!! (I love how life experiences just gets better and better!) There was everything yummy! Pastries (chocolate filled & berried filled), eggs (Scrambled & sunny side up), bacon, mushroom tomato garlic yumminess (I loved this!), cereal, toast, juices, fresh fruit, there was just sooooo much! Sam and I dove in and ate sooo much (love it when someone else cooks) and the kids hardly ate anything… we laughed on the funniness of this!
What a wonderful ROMANTIC time we had. I loved that our kids don't limit us with our decisions… we just work 'around' it. We always make sure there is something for everyone and our kids just dive into new experiences. I loved that they could see all types of situations like Romantic ones, Camping, Adventurous… whatever. This must expand their minds so much and they can truly grasp all different aspect of life on many different levels!
So don't delay! Get your romantic on today! - kids n all!
Only recently have we learnt how to lead a limitless life - Breaking through limiting beliefs that had stopped us from doing what we DESIRED! You know what... ANYTHING is possible! and I truly mean that. I often have people approach me saying "it so great that you can live like you do.... but I wouldn't be able to because of.... my kids... or job... or whatever" EXCUSES!!!! If you really want it you can HAVE it! We are living proof (And we never thought we would be this proof!) STOP limiting yourself... You deserve to have an AWE-SOME life filled with all your desires! BreakFree of limits here!
