A Bedroom Picnic

Okay - this is one of my favorite things to do.....for me it is fun and romantic.

I make all the plans without involving my husband. I decide on some great food items and something wonderful to drink - yes, alcohol is usually involved! lol Then I prepare the bedroom for the picnic.

I am a lover of candles and great fragrances - I still burn incense! I like soft lighting and wonderful smells. I also enjoy music so I insure that I have the right music available.

Because I enjoy using the floor as a picnic area I will set out a nice comforter or blanket to sit on. I place lots of pillows around the area as well.

Now back to the actual picnic items. I am a vegetarian so I am perfectly content with not having any meat but my husband isn't. I try to include things that we both will enjoy. Sometimes I have a cheese tray with selected meat items, sometimes I stick with fresh fruit and vegetables, it really depends on the mood and the day. A nice loaf of great bread can be awesome. The picnic is not about eating really - it is about spending quality time with my husband.

This gives us an opportunity to really talk and get back to the basics of our relationship. Sometimes the picnic will end and we will go watch TV or simply carry on with our regular routines - other times the picnic results in an eventful night!
The point is that the picnic does not necessarily imply that we are going to do any particular thing to finish the night - but it opens the doors to lots of possibilities.

A bedroom picnic is fun! Try it and see what you think.
