Rediscovering Intimacy: Embracing Sensuality on Your Parenting Journey
Hello there, fabulous humans who make other human beings! If you're reading this, you've likely navigated the chaotic, love-infused whirlpool that is parenthood for 12 to 24 months now. You’ve earned every badge: from surviving midnight feedings to the glorious first steps (that suddenly turn your entire home into an acrobat's training camp). But here's a little secret about parenthood—they don't tell you how it can mess with your mojo.
Let's talk about date nights. Remember those?
Ah, date night! Once upon a time, this magical term involved dressing up and hitting the town with your significant other, sans any thought of diaper changes or puree stains on your 'nice' shirt. Now, "date night" possibly means binge-watching past episodes of that show everyone but you has seen, while sliding under crusty blankets. Fear not!
Spice up your date nights with intimacy hacks that will have your kids wondering why 'quiet time' is suddenly your favorite time!
The Pre-Date Glam Routine (Yes, You Even Have Time for This)
Here's a little get-ready-fast formula: Think about it like baking a cake, but with less mess and caloric guilt. Start with a primer—no, not for the walls in the nursery that are now your toddler's art easel, but for your face. You’re an art piece yourself. Next, slap on a bit of concealer, swipe on a lipstick that doesn’t resemble 'I’ve been kissing my baby’s chubby cheeks all day
Standing ovation for doing all of this while singing "The Wheels on the Bus" on repeat as your little one watches with popcorn!
Wardrobe Wonders
This is the perfect time to rediscover your fashion statement—and no, 'parade of pajamas' doesn't count. If you're in the mood to emphasize those seamless curves that baby-building blessed you with, try the Mum Tum leggings from EmamaCo. They’re sporty, stylish, and scream “I came to conquer, not to crunch numbers at PTA meetings.” And if there’s another bun in the oven, the maternity leggings are your new BFF.
Get ready, because leggings can totally take you from pure Netflix mode to sparkly salsa—or even saucier things!
Find Humor in the Chaos
We'd all like to "find ourselves" post-baby, but let's face it, sometimes it's just about finding where you left your sanity—and maybe a sock that doesn't have a happy dinosaur print on it. So why not embrace the madness? Leave a little lipstick mark on the sink for your partner's morning surprise. Leave love notes that are equal parts sweetness and passive-aggressive reminders about whose turn it is to do the dishes.
"Hey, I love you," scribbled on a mirror in a suspicious red marker, leaving your partner both in awe and a bit of fear—is that lipstick or a crime scene? Who's to say?

- Add a touch of curated background music. Something between 'lullaby classic' and 'Beyoncé vibes.'
- Play with textures—think soft blankets (not the kid's safety blankie!), silk pillowcases, and a splash of your old cologne or perfume.
- And finally, put away the tech. The only exception? EmamaCo’s website because who doesn’t need some stylish support?
Restore the art of whispering sweet nothings—or as we often call it—strategically planning who's picking up the kids from grandma's on Saturday night.
Embrace the Gizmo Renaissance
New parenthood often means turning your home into HAL 9000, but for Slim Jims and soft lullabies. Take advantage of the gadgets that arrived with the baby and use them for parental escapes. White noise machines? Great for background romance boosting. Baby monitors? Perfect for ensuring the kids stay blissfully unaware, or at least mercifully contained in their respective rooms while you flirt like teenagers.
And no, Alexa can't plan the perfect date night but she can remind you that the chicken nuggets are burning.
The Grand Finale
As you step back into the alluring world of being more than ‘just parents,’ remember—confidence is the ultimate fashion accessory. The juggles melt into playful romps. The bleary-eyed days? Solved with a wink and a smile to your lovably exhausted partner who now looks at you in a new light—again.
Now, stop reading this and go ahead, create your own fairy tale part deux, and let the sparks fly!
