20 Stay at Home Date Ideas

If you’re like me, you just spent a ton of money on school clothes and registration fees for the kids! So I’m poor and can’t go on a date with my hubby. The truth is that we don’t go on many dates because we are spending time with our family or making sure that we are there when our younger girls. Some of you have small ones and that is even harder to get out and go on a date.

I love my life! I wish I had more money but that is another story. Most of all I love my cute husband, and sometimes we forget to think out of the box to make sure that the “burning love” is still there. Watching TV just hasn’t hacked it lately and so I thought that I needed to make a list of things that we could do as a couple. Here it is and I hope it helps you with that loving feeling!

3. Make a music video: Pick out the song that best describes your “love story”. Get creative!

18. Spend a night in Italy: This is a fun twist to your ordinary dinner and a movie at home. Theme it! A night in Italy might include homemade pizza, gelato, and an Italian themed movie such as; The Italian job. You could even dress the part!
