The Hubs and I decided it was pass time for a one on one date night. We sent the girls to my parts house for the evening. Clyde and I had an in house date night. This was much cheaper than going to a loud restaurant where we could not hear each other. We cooked dinner together, ate on a make shift table on the living room floor and watched a movie. Dinner and a movie! Unheard of for us! We usually can only afford dinner out, then we usually do grocery shopping afterwards. Not the most fun date night. By having date night at our own home we were able to have a real conversation and really enjoy each others company.
This was our very fancy table. Our nice linen aka bath towel! It was fun and reconnecting And really that is all that matters. I am a firm believer that couples need time to reconnect without company....ie without children or even another couple. Time without the kids does not have to be an over night or weekend thing. A few hours one night will work. If planning an at home date night think about things you and your significant other like to do. This could be playing video games, cards, singing, playing music, looking at movies, taking pictures, cooking, the choices are endless. I think the point to an at home date night is to save money but still have fun! You just have to get a little creative!
