That’s Amore!

 photo WeddingPhotos245.jpg
Finding time alone with your spouse once you have a baby is hard. Date nights out are few and far between, and often when you do get a chance to go out all you talk about is the baby! I firmly believe the key to a happy baby and happy home starts with having a happy marriage. Now that we are starting to come out of the “fog” of having a baby, I see the importance of spending time with my husband more and more.

Tell me this, what do you do to keep the romance alive in your marriage?
Since we don’t always get a chance to have a date night away from the baby, I jumped at the chance to review a date box from datelivery! Datelivery is a new monthly subscription service that focuses on providing unique and creative date night experiences for couples to enjoy in the comfort of their home. Each month they plan, package, and ship out a different themed date night box. 
A date where I don’t have to plan anything and I can wear my pajamas? Yes please!

Part of the fun of this date was the anticipation of receiving our box! Our theme was Iron chef pizza challenge…..which prompted me to sing “when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore!”….probably more than my husband would have liked.

Anyway, datelivery provided us with the stuff to get started on our pizzas….but they also included some fun in the box too!

I won’t spoil the surprise, but I will say this…..it was totally fun and out of character for us.

Datelivery made us laugh together, feel connected, and talk about things we never would have without the prompting from our box of surprises! And yes, I made my husband wear the chef’s hat that was in our box too. He’s such a good sport!

We were totally excited for a date night that we didn’t have to plan!

    What a cute idea! Hubby and I try to do a date night out at least once a month. It gets easier the older they get. Also you should TOTALLY take advantage of parent's night out that daycare offers. UM I would also be willing to babysit…just sayin 😉
