12 Daytz of Christmas

Dec

2012

In 2008 my husband and I were HORRIBLE at making time to spend just the 2 of us, so I came up with the idea to pre-plan a date night for every month in 2009. I called it The 12 Daytz of Christmas. I chose dates we probably would not have chosen to do had we decided on the fly to go out, which is usually what we did. Things like going to a comedy club or miniature golfing- all fun activities, but not something we ever made plans to do. When I gave him this for Christmas, I just printed it … [Read more...]

Guys and Girls Can Be Friends

Jun

2012

by Stephanie 5 Comments

When my husband and I first met, we became great friends almost from day one. Before I knew it, we were running in the same circle of friends and we were seeing each other almost every weekend. He made me laugh really hard, and I liked that about him- I liked it a lot. I think people could sense the fun we had with each other, and they didn't believe us when we both insisted that we were "Just Friends." I got so sick of the phrase "Guys and Girls cannot be friends", and I was determined to … [Read more...]

Easter Date Night

by Stephanie 1 Comment

Turn "being the Easter Bunny" into a fun Easter date night! Last year, I told my husband I was going to plan a date that was out-of-the-ordinary. (He was less than thrilled when I told him it involved crafting with hot glue and rhinestones!) We dropped the kids off at grandma's house and headed to the grocery store where we bought the ingredients for dinner and the supplies for the kid's Easter baskets. (Can I just say how fun it is to go grocery shopping without kids?) Once home, … [Read more...]
