Date Ideas

{beach picnic with takeout sushi}

Finding time for a date night can be challenging with kiddos, but Greg and I have been making an intentional effort the last year to prioritize our relationship in this season of parenthood. We have discovered ways to sneak in us-time, with major help from my parents (thanks Nana + Poppy!)

Now that Greg and I work in the same office with the same schedule, we're able to carpool and that provides an extra 30 mins a day without adorable Jack interruptions mid-conversation. We also have early dismissal on Fridays and use that additional hour for us before picking up Jack from school. If the weather is nice, we'll go for a beach walk, other days we'll grab a drink at happy hour, or even run errands at Target together.

Some of our favorites dates over the years have been:

{something outside + active}

beach walk
stroll around a park 

go for a hike

visit a zoo/aquarium/museum

kayak/canoe

take a workout class together

putt-putt golf
