Do you ever feel like you and your husband/boyfriend/significant other get into a dating rut?
Are you always going to the same places and doing the same things?
I know we do. Although to be honest, going to the grocery store just the two of us would probably be considered new and exciting to us these days...ahh, parenthood.

Well, yesterday I got together with two of my friends to work on a top secret Valentine's project for our husbands. Our project was of course inspired by things we had seen on pinterest {link to inspiration board}, and specifically some of the ideas from this and this blog.
Our project was to come up with a new date idea for each month of the year, and then decorate envelopes with clues and invitations for each date and month. Most of the dates are for just the two of us, but some of them we planned for the same month and will do as group dates.
We spent 6 fun hours working on them yesterday and still didn't finish. I have to pick up a few fun clues to add to the envelopes and add in some cash to pay for the dates and then they will be ready to deliver to my Valentine in February.
Need some date ideas?
Here are a couple we came up with:
planetarium {what's more romantic than the stars in the sky?}
drive-in movie
a baseball game
indoor picnic
a comedy show
and
an overnight camping trip just the two of us
I think it's so easy to get ourselves into a dating rut and take our time together for granted, but it's so important to keep that excitement alive that you had for each other when you first started dating. I'm so excited to do go on all these fun dates,
but most importantly I'm so excited for all of the new experiences and memories with my love.
xoxo,
Ashley
