Welcome to the first day of the 7 Ways to Prepare Your Home For New Love challenge!
How are you feeling? Were you able to start clearing out the clutter yesterday? Comment below and let me know of a few of things you cleared out to make space for your new love—and to kick off this challenge!
And speaking of this challenge, we’re getting started right away with one of the more delicious rooms in your home: the kitchen. For many, the kitchen is a room of creation, of nourishment, of relaxation and play. And it should be!
But have you been truly treating it as such? It’s easy to forget the joys of a kitchen when you’re often in it alone. You tend to use it for its utilitarian purpose only: to find food, to eat it, and to leave.
And perhaps you’ve been stocking it exactly as you felt you need to: with items for yourself, and perhaps for your kids or roommates, too. But what about your future partner?
- What will they want to eat?
- What meals will you cook and share together?
- Will you plan stay-at-home date nights over a home-cooked meal and a bottle of red?
- What can you eat now that would make you feel love?
Think about the experiences you want to share with your partner in the kitchen—and start preparing for them now! Gather the recipes, stock up on the food and drink you want to share, set aside date nights on the calendar . . . even if (for now) you spend that precious time catching up with yourself.
Today’s Action Step: Go grocery shopping for your future partner!
What do you have ready and waiting for them to eat? Begin daydreaming about the meal you will one day (soon!) make and share together.
