Podcast Episode 73: A Guide to Making Any Ordinary Night Special

Feb 23, 2013 | Podcasts

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by Andy Traub.

Andy and AT discuss what we need to do to make days like Valentine’s Day special. Andy shares a funny story of what he recently did to make just an average night with his family a special occasion.

 

Is it important to make Valentine’s Day special, or is it just a dumb holiday?

  • Yes, it is a dumb holiday…and yes, we DO need to make it special.
  • At one point, Andy was just having his assistant order flowers to send his wife, Polly, for him.
  • Eventually, Polly told him that flowers he had his assistant order didn’t mean all that much.

 

So he started putting more intention into doing something that showed Polly he actually cared.

  • You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day or any kind of special day to surprise your spouse or your kids or anyone with something special.
  • Andy did this the other day by cooking a surprise dinner with an extremely unique menu for his family.
  • Look for ways to make ordinary days special days, no matter whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not.

 

If you do a surprise dinner for your family, find Andy on Facebook or Twitter and send him your menu!
