1. What is romance...with children?

"Romance now is a quick dance in my house slippers while wrangling the kiddos. Still so in love!"

"After having a baby almost a year ago, the romance has shifted but grown exponentially.This is my husband Matt, who used to play guitar for Luna when she was still curled in my belly. Now she's walking to the guitar and smacking the strings until daddy plays for her. I can't think of anything more romantic than watching these two play music."

"Alone time comes with the disclaimer: 'Kids included.'"

"Romance is rigging up this contraption to hang the tablet from the ceiling so we could cuddle and watch Netflix. Our boys were watching a movie on the living room TV so we(he) had to get creative"

"We color together after our 2-year-old is in bed and talk about anything but him. (OK, we usually end up talking about him! But we try not to.)"

"This is what a parenting date night looks like! We rock the supermarket!"

"It's splitting a bottle of champagne on NYE, flirting and talking for the first time in ages then the baby waking up at 11:54PM and the three of you ringing in the new year together!"
