Date Night Idea: Date Night In With Kids

Have you, like me, always dreamed of a romantic date night in...you know the kind you see on the movies?

Dim lighting. A nice dinner. Wine. Maybe even a little stargazing....well, I was FINALLY able to get it....kinda.

My husband and I planned a little romantic night while we were in Joshua Tree staying at an airbnb with our 2 littles.

The PLAN was to get the kids fed, bathed then off to be and we would sit out on the beautifully and romantically decorated porch with a glass of wine talking about how the heck we made it to 8 years of marriage and our plans for the next 80! <3

We had our outfits all planned and wine chilled...but if you have kids, you KNOW nothing EVER goes as planned. Ever.

Our girls REFUSED to go to bed. they wanted to watch us from the windows :/

So we let them....Enjoy our pictures from the Date night That Never Was...

CAN YOU SPOT THE 6 YEAR OLD THAT WOULD'NT GO TO BED?

If you have better behaved kids than me and want to have a date night in, I recommend:

• Get dolled up! When you look good, you feel good. I got this romper from PrettyLittleThing.

• A nice cooked dinner (I did Lobster Tails, Rice Pilaf, and spinach)

• Wine (We love Port Wines)

• Some nice comfy chairs

• A neon sign is ALWAYS a good look
