Power Outage

Last weekend New Jersey was hit with a pretty big storm, and our power went out on Saturday evening.  So what did I do you ask? Well after I put the girls to bed, my husband and I talked. It was great to have NO distractions and JUST talk. Even when the power came back on, we left the lights off and flash light on and continued to talk.

Now I don’t want you to think that my husband and I never talk to each other, it’s quite the opposite we “talk” everyday. It’s just that life sometimes goes by so fast that conversation can often be background noise to something you’re attempting to get done in the foreground.  Like take care of the kids, cook dinner, do the laundry, sleep…

I’ve been married almost 3 yrs and had twins 16 months ago it was great to have life slow down for one night so my husband and I could talk.  We are definitely going to “cut the power” more often.
