**Because You're Too Fabulous for Vanilla Romance**
The thing about being postpartum—besides the legging addiction and ninja-like reflexes—is realizing that your relationship might need a little polish. It’s not rusty, per se; it’s just...well, gently lived in.

**Quick Note: Date Night Doesn’t Require a Reservation**
Press pause on the traditional and embrace spontaneity. Maybe your date night is an impromptu dance in the kitchen or a dorky TikTok attempt. Or just going to bed at 9pm together instead of taking turns waking up with the little one. Don’t deny the romance, reinvent it.
