4. Sweet treat. Eat dinner with the kids, and have everyone put on the glam. Dress up the table with flowers, candles, cloth napkins and play soft music. Even write up a menu. Serve an elegant meal or order in if it's easier. Let the kids eat desert alone while you clean up and tuck them in.
Save your dessert for after lights out. Move the candles and flowers into into the living room, and keep the music on. Dance, get passionate and enjoy the pleasure of making love while the kids are sleeping.
