10 SUMMER DATE NIGHT IDEAS!

Hey Loves,

Today I'd love to share a silly little video I put together with my boyfriend, Austin on 10 Summer Date Night Ideas. I STRONGLY believe that no matter if you've been in a relationship for two years, or twenty, that you should always be dating. What I mean by this is that it's crucial to take each other out for dinner and drinks, try new activities, meet up with friends, etc. Keep each other smiling. 

If you do have children, I know this can often times complicate things and you feel as though you can no longer go out as often. HOWEVER, you guys need some YOU time away from the kids. Make it a plan to go out if not once a week, than every other week. Get yourself a sitter, whip out a fancy dress, and enjoy a night away with your special someone. 

Spring Date Night Ideas!

If you live somewhere with a cold winter and you’re anything like me, you’re DYING for some warm weather right about now. Spring flowers, fresh air - come to momma. As this new season approaches I thought I could give you and your special someone some fun spring date night ideas. 

Get Physical. Literally. Winter always adds on those additional pounds you can no longer hide when those baggy sweaters and leggings come off. Hit the gym together for some extra motivation. If you don’t have a membership, don’t use that as an excuse. The weather is warming up (finally) and you can take a jog outside, go for a hike, or a bike ride. This will help relieve stress and boost your energy. After your work out you can make a yummy protein smoothie together as a reward after you shower off ;)

Sit Outdoors At Your Favorite Restaurant. All the outdoor patios should be opening up just about now. Take advantage of that! Go order yourself a nice glass of wine (or whiskey as my boyfriend would pick), and enjoy the fresh air. 

Go To A Baseball Game. Baseball is back! Score yourself a couple of tickets, and head to the ball park. Sure it’ll be $9 a beer but what the hell, that’s what pregaming is for. It’ll be a great way to get out and do something fun together. (You can find us cheering on the Chicago Cubs.)

A Beer Garden. Pairing beer and food with outdoor scenery? If you wouldn’t like that I question your taste. 

Farmers Market. Most farmers markets around here open right around May. Go walk around the streets of your town and grab some healthy food you’d like to cook together that week. 

Create A Garden. Talk about what you’d like. I love growing my own fruits and veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, cucumber, different kinds of peppers - not to mention my favorite little lemon tree). You’ll need the space to do this and enough sunlight. I also love to plant a variety of flowers. If you don’t have a ton of space or live in an apartment you can buy a few planters and jazz those up with your favorite flowers. 

I hope this helps! Let me know in the comments below what some of your favorite spring date night ideas are. 

xx,
