Hello My Beautiful Friends,
Will and I love to have Date Night once a week. It has always been important for us to prioritize our relationship. Prior to COVID-19 we would enjoy a rotation of Date Nights with Will in charge of planning one week and me in charge of planning the next. We also rotated with having a Date Night In and a Date Night Out!
We love our family time and believe it is important for us to have our down time with Family. Lately we have had a lot of that however it was key for us to assure our kids had all the support they needed in this most precious moment in time. While in the transition we noticed that we missed our Date Nights.
With Date Nights being one of the fundamental priorities in our relationship, one we hold with great value to making sure our relationship stays fresh and healthy – truly united I thought I would share some of our favorite ideas on how we do date night ‘in’ since what is going on in the world has shifted the norm of how we do Date Night.
- Grillin & Chillin’ – Will loves to Grill & Chill.
- Make a Dessert Together – Chopped Challenge Style to make it fun!
- Classic Backyard Picnic

We are big believers in being intentional with our relationship and making sure our foundation is strong as it positively impacts our family and the generations to come.
Nurturing the relationships that we have around us in this present time is such a gift so have fun while doing it! I hope these ideas were encouraging to you and your spouse.
