So, let me start by saying last Friday night, I created a date night at home. Is the first date night we have enjoyed in our house or on the cheap NOPE will it be the last absolutely NOT.I love saving money it became kind of a game for me I guess, it all started because I literally had no choice but to, I was broke! My husband had just been let go from a boss position a new company had bought. He had been making great money. We hadn't saved a dime of it, now it was right before Christmas, and we couldn't even afford groceries. I promised myself I would never be in that position again. And I haven't I budget my money I know where it goes, I can't tell you how important it is to know where your money is going. And I do save in ways that I can that doesn't change no matter my income. I love the joy of saving and honestly to me no matter the money I have I still want it spent as smart as possible. So back to Last Friday's date night. I really wanted to go to winery and partake in a wine tasting yet I knew I had just got back from a vacation from Florida (where I had indulged in a wine tasting tour around the world last week) and this week I'm traveling to Hershey PA where I have a lovely wine tour booked already. So, I opted for an at home wine tasting tour I have some wines already but what fun is that instead I headed to local wine store and collected five wines. I had stuff in my fridge already to throw together a nice charcuterie board and so I did just that. We picked a movie from one of the many streaming services we have mostly through our cell phone provider. And we sat on the couch together traveling the world of wines and enjoying our charcuterie board. We spent less than 40$ the wine store had an amazing sale, so it was my lucky day. After all I am the luckiest girl in the world, I manifest that exact saying to myself every day. If you're not manifesting that or other good things into your life, I highly recommend you start. It was a perfect date with my wonderful husband in the home we created together. Never stop dating your spouse make that a priority as well and when you don't have the funds to go out create a date inside there are plenty ways to do just that. Ill list some other date night ideas below as well as links to help you create your date.
Date Night Ideas
classic candlelight dinner no matter if you cook or get takeout add some candle lighting set the table or eat on the couch snuggled up a classic candlelight dinner is always a winner.
Couples Massages grab your favorite massage oil and turn down those lights add a playlist get as romantic as you desire and simply massage each other I assure you something is going to go down after this date.
Take a shower or a bubble bath together! it's that simple honestly, you can get fancy with rose petals, essential oils and/or bath salts.
Have a game night pick a game to play add some wine, champagne, or drinks of your choice and see who's got the luck tonight! If you want to you can have a winner prize maybe a favorite treat or something a little riskier!!
Karaoke at home seriously this is one of our favorites we have a few drinks together and play no regret karaoke (basically the next song that comes up you MUST sing) we laugh so much these nights.
Chopped kitchen buy random food at grocery store put in a box or picnic basket and as a couple you create a meal together. You can go one step further by shopping together but asking strangers what to buy like protein, starch, candy, veggie, etc. Thís will get you out socializing as well but in a fun way I'm sure many laughs will be had at the store.
Go glamping indoors bring some blankets into your room of choice even the mattress if you like than add smores. You could even make hobo pies over the fire ring in the backyard if it's a nice night sleep under the stars even possibilities are endless.
Finger paints a portrait of your partner (many laughs lots of fun)
These are just a few of the dates we have had at home I hope you try one out and enjoy as much as we have.
