Utilizing the fun and playful gestures of intention proposed in 14 Days of Foreplay will bring a couple closer together in meaningful ways. Lieser and Rooney have created a fun, activity template that invites partners to follow creative suggestions with a playful mindset. Couples guided by 14 Days of Foreplay will truly speak and listen to one another, creating a new frame for insightful understanding and trust. The time spent reading, acting on, and discussing the book’s activities will enrich all aspects of a relationship, including problem solving, expressing emotion, and coping with change, loss, or trauma. Those who invest honesty into the process will be rewarded with the ability to embrace the joys and triumphs of life. Enhanced intimacy and communication are tools for expressing new and changing wants and desires, and for knowing how to listen and turn toward one another even when turning away is an instinctive response.

Three Northern Colorado businesses roll out “My Big Date Night,” a Valentine’s Day getaway in Loveland

Loveland, Colorado January 7, 2014 – It’s been the sweetheart city since 1877, and now there is a great reason to make Loveland, Colorado your destination this Valentine’s Day. Three Loveland-based businesses have come together to create My Big Date Night, a package that includes dining, beer and spirit tasting and an overnight stay at one of three local hotels.

"Loveland has been an art destination for years, but we also want people to realize it’s a wonderful Valentine’s Day destination,” said Christine Kovacs Forster, founder of My Big Day Events, LLC, an event planning company in Loveland. Ms. Forster, along with Mechelle Martz-Mayfield, owner of NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC, a brewery tour service, and Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer, founder of HeidiTown.com, the place for Colorado festival and travel information, came together to create My Big Date Night.

The package is available on February 14th and 15th and again on February 21st and 22nd, with brewery tours available on Fridays and distillery tours available on Saturdays. Each package includes transportation, tasters at each stop and an overnight stay including dinner for two at La Quinta Inn, Best Western or Embassy Suites.

“The prices vary depending on which hotel you choose,” said Martz-Mayfield. “Embassy Suites is offering a decadent meal just for this event, so a stay with them will be more expensive, however, all the versions are affordable at between $226 and $325. There’s even a $150 option with dinner and the brewery or distillery tour only, but our hope is that people will make a weekend out of it and will stay overnight.”

Other package amenities include a gift bag stuffed with offers from local businesses and a cupcake at the end of the night from B Sweet Cupcakes in downtown Loveland.

“This is about fun and romance in the Sweetheart City,” said Kerr-Schlaefer. “It will be a memorable way for folks from across the Front Range to experience Loveland, and hopefully they will be inspired to come back to experience it again and again.”

My Big Date Night is brought to you by My Big Day, LLC, NOCO Short Bus Tours, LLC and HeidiTown.com, and has been endorsed by Visit Loveland. For more information on the subject matter of the press release call Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer at (970) 213-2354, email TheMayor@HeidiTown.com or go to ValentinesDayinLoveland.com.
