Volunteer
Get your butts off the sofa and do some volunteer work together. It’s a great way to bond while doing something worthwhile. Carry that euphoric feel-good vibe home and get charitable between the sheets.

Go camping overnight.

There’s no TV to interrupt your conversation, and the night is long, so you can retire early to your sleeping bags (zipped together, of course).

Get sweaty together.

It’ll feel less like a chore and more like a we’re in this together moment when you help each other to get your hearts pumping and cheer each other along. Or try couples yoga: Twisting your body into pretzel poses will bring you closer together in every way.

10 Totally Awesome Things to Do for Her on Mother’s Day
Posted by: Kristen Manieri April 30, 2015

Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 10) is right around the corner. You’ve got a fabulous plan cooked up to let your baby mama know how much you love and appreciate her, right? Oh no! Thank goodness we’re here to help! Here are 10 knock-her-socks-off ideas guaranteed to make her feel like the superhero she is:

1. Recreate Your First Dates
Book a sitter then head out to all your old haunts. Take her, blindfolded of course, to the special places where you fell in love on this progressive date night. Not from Orlando? Create a ‘first date’ night based on where you would have taken her if you’d been here at the time. Might we suggest World of Beers at Lake Eola followed by a swan paddleboat ride around the iconic fountain then boozy ice pops at The Pop Parlour?

2. Take Her to Brunch
There are a ton of spectacular brunch events happening around Orlando on Sunday, May 10. Head to one of the following or perhaps just hit up one of your favorite neighborhood restaurants. The Parkview, Boca Kitchen and Briarpatch Restaurant on Park Avenue are all great.

3. Share Your Favorite Mommy Moments
If you’re taking her out for a date night the evening before Mother’s Day, go with a pre-made list of your favorite mommy moments or qualities. Yes, you’ll have to do some hard thinking to come up with a substantial inventory, but this gesture will be a gift she’ll likely remember forever! Need an inexpensive dinner idea? Read all about the $40 date night at The Wine Barn.

4. Learn the Art of Massage
It’s the gift that keeps on giving. The Couples Massage Class at Bodyscape Massage Therapy in Baldwin Park will give you the opportunity to learn massage techniques from a skilled massage therapist. This unique, private class offers individual instruction and can be tailored to your interests, whether you want to learn how to give a great relaxation massage or if you would rather learn more therapeutic techniques.

5. Propose to Her Again
Go as flashy as a sunrise hot air balloon flight or as simple as a midnight champagne toast after the kids go to bed. Either way, it will be so sweet to let her know you’d do it all over again with her by your side.

30 Ideas for Date Nights “At Home”

Spend time together . . . just the two of you.  Yep, all the relationship experts say this is important.  But sometimes when you have small children, it just isn’t all that easy.  You have to dedicate time, call on family for help or hire a sitter and then pay said sitter.

Dan and I love going out on date nights.  We love the spending the time together but truth be told, we get out on a date night once a month . . . maybe.  Our main hitch is that when we have a sitter (usually family), there is another event to attend and those kind of things tend to fill the schedule taking a priority over time alone.

But then I saw an idea for a Date Night Jar and my wheels started spinning.  The original idea comes from Sarah at Taylor Design Studio.  She was throwing a bridal shower and had the guests write date night ideas on the craft sticks.   (Seriously, if you haven’t headed over to like her Facebook page, you’ve got to do it.  She is an interior designer with great little tips and ideas.)

And while date nights out are important, sometimes when you have kids, date nights at home are simply more feasible.  And that is where this idea comes in.  Here are 30 ideas for Date Nights “At Home.”  Try choosing one date night idea each week.  Most require no forethought or effort.  But some may require a quick run to the store.The point?  Be intentional.  Relationships don’t improve without attention.  (<-tweet this)  Spending deliberate time together even if at home after the kids are in bed can be a great blessing to your marriage.  Time spent together, whether talking, sharing, playing or laughing is what we’re after.
