Date Night Rut, Be Gone!

See this?

It's awesome.




I found this online a while back... and I just had to do it!

There's a blog out there called The Dating Divas: Strengthening Marriages One Date at a Time.

And they made this. The best part is, it's all made with free printables so all you have to do is click "Download" then "Print" then cut it out and put it together. Simple!

Here's what it is: 

Once a month, you go on a date "to" a different country. The blog has a huge list of ideas with countries and what to do with them, i.e. Ireland, wear green, make a leprechaun trap, eat lucky charms. Of course, you could always make up your own; but, they have enough ideas there to fill a whole year, so it'll definitely give you plenty of ideas to get started!

It comes with a passport, travel itinerary, customizable plane tickets, and passport "stamps" you can tape in once you've finished a date. (I didn't print the tickets or the stamps, because they seemed like a little much for me, but I might change my mind and print them off as we do each date.)

My favorite part about it is that none of the dates are expensive, and they can all be done at home if you want! Can you say... budget friendly? 

It's seriously such a great idea (you don't even have to be married to do this... you could easily adapt these dates to be done with different people if you're single and dating around). It's so easy to get stuck in the "eat something slightly fancier than normal and watch a movie" date night rut. THIS WILL SAVE YOU!

I just gave it to the hubster today... so I'm excited to see how our first "trip" goes!
