Disney Date

Who doesn't like watching a Disney classic? Set up a blanket outside in the backyard  and bring an extension cord and TV out with you. Watch some of your favorite Disney movies while cuddling in a blanket and enjoying a nice bowl of popcorn. Take turns choosing movies, and find out why your spouse likes/dislikes certain movies.

Take Inventory

This date is for all the hard working mother and fathers who need a fun night to reconnect with their love. After the kids go to sleep, your fun begins!

Assuming that you have already had dinner, prepare a fruit plate or a dessert that you both enjoy. Sit somewhere where you both can get comfortable and cozy together. This could be in the sofa, or out on the patio. Now talk and catch up with each other. Life is crazy, and it some of the simple things get taken for granted.

Think back to the tune before you had kids. The focus was solely on the two of you. Forget the day to day normal talk, don’t talk about finances, or the list of to-dos. Focus on taking inventory on the both of you, talk about dreams and ambitions. Are there things that you have always wanted to, but haven't done yet? Let your spouse know! Everyday new things come up and you don’t want to forget about each other. Have fun with one another!

Body Paints

Sometimes as parents we can't always go out on a date, but that should not stop you from dating your spouse! There are lots of things you can do at home after the kids go to bed to put a spark in your relationship! Throughout the blog we will suggest fun things for you to do at home! 

As a kid I loved to paint, but what I loved more was the feel of it... Please tell me I'm not the only one! So when we couldn't find a babysitter on Saturday night I decided that it was a great opportunity to paint, but not on canvases, but our bodies. I mixed up some paint, the recipe is below and we tested it out. What a fun date with my spouse!

 The recipe is simple:

2 tsp. Cornstarch

1 tsp. lotion

1 tsp. water

Food Coloring

* This recipe is good for 1 body paint color.

The paint is totally safe to go on your skin and washes off! Be creative! Make a game of it and most importantly have fun with it!

Relationship Tip!

Sometimes it is important to just have fun and see where it takes you! This is one of those times! Make body paint and discover where your relationship goes with a little bit of paint!

Movie Night

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like staying home and wearing your comfy sweats? Well, this date is right up your alley! Sometimes staying “in” on a date night is just what you need and the bonus is you don't have to pay a babysitter if you have kids! You can dress comfortably and snuggle on the couch. Step it up a notch by turning your living room into a movie theater. Make some popcorn. Grab some of your favorite candy from the grocery store and pick up the hottest new Release! 

Relationship Tip! Snuggling with your spouse is just fun. It allows you to unwind and steal a kiss here or there.
