One of the best things I like to do with my hubby when our kids are not with us is to take a photo walk together. On the Monday this week, hubby and I went for a good lunch and a nice long walk from Clarke Quay all the way to Somerset. Along the way, we would look at the scenery, chit-chat and snap photos of what we saw and liked. It is extremely therapeutic to me - I would love to do it as often as it's possible.
This stretch along Clarke Quay is always pretty to the eyes. Colourful, vintage and uniquely Singapore. On a Monday afternoon, the whole place was quiet and peaceful with some groups of friends hanging around and chit-chatting. When night falls, the whole place would become rowdy, noisy and crowded again with locals & expatriates enjoying their happy after-work hours.
As a busy working mum, I don't get much me-time or couple-time with the husband during the week. Our off days every Monday have thus become extremely precious to us. Both kids are in school between 11am to 6pm on Monday, so that's seven glorious hours I could spend doing things I love to do. Sometimes, I just hang out with hubby on the couch watching TV the whole day; on other days, we go out for a good lunch and photo-walk like we did this week. So very important for busy parents like us to purposefully set aside time every week to do something like that - for sanity, for romance, for happiness. If we can be happy parents, we will have happy kids too. :)
Do you have something you enjoy doing too? :)
