Having been together for 9 years, it's always a struggle to come up with things to do together. It's hard to find the time to spend together with (one or both) working which leaves you tired and not wanting to do anything but curl up on the couch and watch Netflix. But it's important to maintain a level of communication and interaction to keep a relationship going. So I decided to go ahead and buy this collection of date ideas as a stocking stuffer.



buy the cards

We were afraid we wouldn't remember to use the cards or what the dates were, so an album is called for. Luckily, we got a really cool old school leather journal from Shopify a few years ago as a Christmas present, so we decided to put the two together.

Here's a peak at our first "by-the-book" date night. It was SO amazing and relaxing - something we both needed  

We couldn't decide which card to do - just knew we didn't want to leave the house and not really do anything fancy. So we combined two.

Made an amazing meal - an artichoke-spinach-cucumber salad followed by French onion soup, had a bubble bath and wailed for 2 hours to the point that we lost our voices. Lots of wine was consumed and was absolutely necessary. And ended the night by watching Justin's favorite childhood movie - Blue Streak. I can't believe I've never seen it before, SO funny.

I also couldn't think of what was my favorite childhood movie. Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Moulin Rouge are my favorite but that only became so around high school. Couldn't think of anything, maybe for next time!

Poor neighbours, if you're reading this, that is all.
