04.  Serving Tray

How cute is this tray from Christina's Adventures?!  Imagine how lovely it would be to have your honey serve you a special Christmas breakfast in bed on this tray!  I know you're thinking the holidays are busy and I don't have time to romance my spouse.  Because the holidays are busy, it is even more important to make time for your spouse, they should be on the top of your list.   Making time out for the two of you will strengthen your bond and bring you closer together during this special time of the year.  Make a lovely and easy breakfast and serve it on a simple yet beautiful tray to surprise your spouse.  If you have time to make this tray visit Christina's Adventures for an easy tutorial.  

For easy and yummy breakfast treats take a peek at these recipes...

Maple Cream Pudding In A Mug with Homemade Maple Syrup by Tickled in Love...Everyone that eats this bread pudding loves it.  It's seriously easy and can sit overnight.  Pop it into the oven when you wake and that's it.  This is perfect for those of you who don't like to wake up early to cook. 

Mini Eggstravaganza by Tickled In Love...Again another dish that can be mixed up the night before and placed in the oven when you wake up.  Breakfast will be ready in a jiffy!

02.  Thankful Settings  

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I've stumbled upon so many cute ideas to make your Thanksgiving meal a little more romantic.  Today I'm sharing my top 

12 favorites. 

Get ready to be impressed by a couple of these ideas! 

This cute kids table is from Hip Hip Hooray Blog.  To make the adult version use the butcher paper to cover your table setting.  Place a pen or colored pens next to your place settings.  Sometime during dinner take a moment or two to write down a little thankful note to each other.  

Ok, I love this idea from Celebrations at Home Blog.  Set a wishbone on top of your plates.  Attach a little note card that says, "You are my best wish come true."

This is a cute idea from One Charming Party that is sure to make each of you comment on all the memories on display.  Collect pictures that reveal all of your favorite moments the whole year through. 

Make pretty menu utensil holders like this one from Style Me Pretty.  Spice it up a notch by making a romantic receipt for dinner as well.  Appetizer= 1 kiss, Dinner = 3 kisses and a caress, Dessert= home base...You get the idea!!!

 I love, love this cute idea from Southern Living.  Write words that express your gratitude and love for your partner on the strips.  Maybe leave a few empty or all of them empty to be filled out during your dinner. 

This cute idea comes from The Crafting Chicks.  This is another adorable way to express your thankfulness.  What I love about this one is that you can discuss the different topics over dinner, like a conversation starter. 

How cute is this from Bo Bunny?!  Leave the leaves blank and fill them out during dinner together.  Leave this up in a corner for you to remember throughout the rest of the month and maybe December too!

I love this table by Centsational girl.  Great tutorials on how to create the pumpkins and pompoms.  Looks fabulous!!!

Another easy table setting idea by Martha Stewart.  Again this looks way easy and adds the perfect touch!

Glittered candle pumpkins by Twig and Thistle.  Great way to give you ambiance during your romantic dinner! 

Doesn't this look delicious.  This is Pumpkin Croissant Pudding by The Marion Housebook.  What a yummy and beautiful way to end your dinner! 

 I've saved the best for last!  This is an idea from The Dating Divas.  I am for sure incorporating it into my holiday tradition list.  Print off your love notes and loosely roll them up with your rolls before baking.  So darling!!!

 Wether you want to use all of these ideas or just a few, the important thing is that you spend a romantic night with just the two of you enjoying a Thanksgiving moment.   Make a tradition out of it and put this on your calendar year after year!

A great way to make dinner, cuddling time, or dark rooms romantic is by adding a little light. Candles, mason jars, wine bottles, lamps, fireplace, or chandeliers bring romance to every setting. (Picture pinned to my wine & dine board on Pinterest...http://pinterest.com/tickledxox/wine-dine/)
