At Home Date Nights for Parents
As parents of young kids, it’s difficult to get out of the house very often. Baby sitters are expensive, and it takes extra planning to coordinate a sitter.
However, for happiness in our marriage we at A Regular Mom Blog know that having date nights is essential.
Date nights allow us to reconnect and talk in a quiet atmosphere without the noise of kids interrupting us. So, out of necessity, my husband and I came up with creative ways to have date nights in the comfort of our own home after our kids go to bed.
On this blog we have lots of creative at home date nights for parents that will have you putting the kids to bed extra early this weekend!
Enjoying each other’s company is a key component to keeping a marriage happy.
One of the ways that my husband and I have gotten through some lower points in 11 years of marriage is that we make a point to continue to have fun together and remember what we loved about each other in the first place.
So put away the phone and connect with each other using one of these creative at home date nights for parents.
You can start planning your next date night with a comprehensive list of date nights at home.

If you have a fire pit and a patio, then this date night is a cinch to put together.
We love our solo stove for our patio, and one of our favorite things to do is to sit around it and relax.
The glow of the fire gives off a relaxing and romantic vibe so that you can both destress from the week.
Grab the marshmallows and get the wine ready for your next fire pit date night.

I love the outdoors ideas. As a SAHM it helps to change up the scenery a bit, even if it is just date night on the patio! Great ideas ?
