I promise I have been keeping up with my pinterest projects...I just haven't posted them yet! So here goes, week 1.
For this first project I decided to do something for both me and the hubs. I did this the first week of the year, which was the last week of my Christmas vacay, so I was a little sick of projects and painting. At first, I thought it sounded kind of cheesy, but it actually turned out to be pretty cute! Here is the pinterest link so you can see where I got my idea: Date Night
12 pre-planned, somewhat pre-paid dates. My dates were not quite as expensive as these which actually pushed me to be a little more creative than just dinner and a movie. I put a little hint in each envelope of what the date was going to include. I plan on having him open each envelope on the day of the date. I went a little further than this particular blogger and actually set the date for each month and scheduled it using my iCal app which conveniently connects with my husbands iCal app...meaning what I put on my calendar he can see on his! I secretly put the initials DN (date night) and a time frame on each planned day so that he can see when the next DN is coming up and look forward to it :) I cannot reveal the contents of each envelope, but I can tell you what I did for our January date...
Spa night. And let me tell you, it was much needed! After remodeling and working on our house day in and day out for weeks, my poor hubby was exhausted and needed some relaxation. So I modeled my spa after this blogger: Love Actually, except not quite as cheesy. I started with a romantic homemade meal complete with peach champagne (our fave) and peppermint truffles :)
Then, I continued with the spa-like stuff...you get the hint. I do believe it was a success. I'll continue posting monthly updates of our DN adventures, I know you are so excited you can hardly contain yourself.
