Date Night Ideas #2

Isn't he cute?!  Man, I am one lucky girl.

Thanks to Steve's wonderful parents, we went snowshoeing last weekend.  SO. MUCH. FUN.  So I thought I'd write some more ideas (done at home) that I hope will inspire you to have a date night with your hubby!  We honestly usually do really simple stuff, but just being together and making it intentional is an important fun habit....

Bake cookies together and make ice cream sandwiches. 

Light some candles for fun and have a SPA NIGHT.

PLAN an UPCOMING TRIP together, whether it’s just a one-day adventure or a couple day mini vacation with your kids.

Steve making a giant heart for me!  So soon after this we saw
a big sign saying "WARNING: The lake is not frozen.  Do not
step on it."  whoops :)

PAINTING PARTY.  Paint a piece of your furniture or grab some cheap canvas and paints and have fun!  They could even become wall décor.

Recreate some of your dates from back in the day… even at home.  I want to make tacos at home and wear the exact shirt I wore on our first date – and have a taco eating contest again!   

PIGGY BANK.  Create some kind of “piggy bank” where you can start putting all your spare change.  Decide as a couple something fun you want to start saving for!  

When it's warmer, bring the monitor and a blanket, and go in your backyard and TALK UNDER THE STARS


Take an ONLINE PERSONALITY TEST by CLICKING HERE. Very fascinating and insightful! Once you get to your results page, click “File” and “Save As.”  It even tells you famous people that share your type along with where you thrive and where you struggle.  Once you have both of your types, you can even click on “Jung Marriage Test” to read about your compatibility as a couple just for fun.

which reminded me of this ... at bear lake soon after we got married

Test your love language by CLICKING HERE and then do something for each other in their primary language!

PICK OUT A BOOK.  Find a book that you would both enjoy and start reading it together.  On nights you feel like it, you can continue reading!

Interview each other!  Whip out the video camera and ask each other lots of interesting, fun questions. Your kids and you will love watching this in the future!  I got this one from this website - she has some great ideas.
