Stay-At-Home Date Night + Giveaway!

I don’t know about you, but after a long hot summer day outside, the last thing I want to do is get all dressed up to go out for a date night. My husband and I try really hard to get out for the occasional night alone together, but these days that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes it’s just easier to put the kids to bed a tad early, throw on your favorite lounge clothes, and enjoy quality time together. Dates don’t always have to be an extravagant evening out. There are major benefits of staying at home: you save money on a babysitter, don’t have to worry about driving at night or after you’ve had a few drinks, and don’t have to spend a fortunate at a fancy restaurant. Date nights shouldn’t be looked at like a luxury that some dread, they should be an essential part of your marriage. Whether you’ve been married four months, four years, or four decades, setting aside time together should be an essential part of your relationship. If you are in a long distance relationship, hey bracelet offers a solution that can help you strengthen the relationship between you and your partner.

My idea of a perfect date night at home involves no kids, a great movie or music, and a laid back atmosphere. My husband is my best friend and we are fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of the same things. When we first started dating we would always cook dinner together and watch a movie while we ate. It became our evening ritual after work and was a great way to enjoy each others company without having to feel the need to talk endlessly about our work day. Our nights are now centered around spending time with the kids, feeding them dinner, bathing them and putting them in their bed 20+ times a night. Usually after all that we are too exhausted to do anything but pass out after watching a quick show. Now that summer is in full effect and the days are longer, we have definitely made a pact to enjoy more quality time together. Our new favorite thing to do is get a fun dessert to enjoy together. You know I am a huge fan of places and companies that deliver and now we can get any of our favorite Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes delivered right to our front door!

  26. It’s a tie! Between coffee cream and the original cheesecake. And maybe the carrot cake. And pumpkin cheesecakes.

  29. We tend to spend our date nights in because we both work such long days that I just want to relax at the end of the day and on the weekends! Half price slices?! I will have to remember those days because it is soooo close to work! Entered that giveaway so maybe we can enjoy a date night out 😉
