Fun Friday: 5 Fun & Romantic Ideas for You & Hubby

Happy Friday To All My Readers!

So I had an idea from my blogging class for having a theme for Monday through Friday Articles. Don't worry my advice will not only continue to include tips and advice for you and your little one but also for your family as a whole. Mondays I'll be giving ideas for fun family games, activites and dinner ideas. Tuesday is for my Tips and advice for you and your baby. Wednesday I'll offer workout ideas for all of you and healthy snack and meal ideas to help you all boost your weight loss endeavors. Thursdays I'll write about ideas, just for the mommies, to find that alone time to pamper yourself weekly in affordable and fun ways. Lastly Fridays are articles specifically just for you and your husband/ significant other. I'm really excited about this change and I hope all of you will think so as well.

My husband and I love the simple ways of bonding. We love going for drives, walks, having picnics, nights in cooking together, gym workouts and classes and strolls around malls to window shop. So I am going to share with you our choices for our weekly date nights.

1. Dinner and a Movie: Sounds simple right? Our idea of dinner and a movie is cooking dinner together and watching our favorite or trying new movies in the living room. But as the weather gets nice we like turning the backyard into an outdoor theatre. Our next door neighbors have a movie projector that we borrow and we hang a white sheet over a tree branch. Its also a great idea for when we want to have a group date night with our friends. It turns into a dinner party.

2. Walks and Picnics. We use this date when a babysitter is not available. We pack a cooler with sandwiches, cupcakes for dessert and a ton of finger food and food for our little one. Our favorite park to go to is Marymoore Park in Redmond, WA. There are many wide open fields to lay down a blanket and play as a family.

3. Strolls Around the Mall with Window Shopping. It is exactly as it sounds. Our favorite mall to go walk around is Bellevue Square in Bellevue, WA. It has great restaurants for dinner but there is a wonderful theatre across the sky bridge to Lincoln Plaza. In this plaza there are more restaurants, a place to bowl, play pool, and dance. It is great for a night out on the town together. Another great place for dates is Crossroads Mall. Again great food, movie theatre but the best part is a GIANT chess game.

4. Take in your Community’s Festivals. Annually on North Bend, there is something called The Jazz Walk. Half the town is shut down. Many places around town host jazz bands and tell the history of the building that it is held it. There are lots of food trucks with great food, there is a bubble blower that blows bubbles down the sidewalk, art shows and places to get souvenirs. Tons of fun.

5. Take Your Kids to the Zoo. It provides a great learning opportunity for your little one to learn the names and sounds that animals make, also stimulating their senses.
