A Date Idea: Brunch-simple is not boring

Brunch- simple is not boring

I was happy to come across the chance to take part in the 14 Days of Busy Mama's Dating Their Husbands with my fellow bloggers. Each blogger is writing a different post in the series. Follow the link to see them all! 

Since this was something on the top of my to improve list for the new year, it was a good reason to get me motivated to make a date happen.  Having 3 children 4yr, 1.5yr, and newborn it doesn't leave much free time for me and my husband to "date".   We both stay busy with me taking care of the kids and him working.  However we do think it is important to make time for each other. We do have a lot of in-home dates( eating take out after the kids have gone to bed and watching a movie together is our go to in-home date) but sometimes it is nice to change things up. 

I had  worked out a day to have someone keep the kids and now had to decide what to do.  When I think date I often get a lot of grand ideas for us but I have to remind myself that it is ok to keep it simple.  Simple does not mean boring.  Sometimes simple is just what we need.  And of course being together no matter what we do is the most important part.  After talking it over with my husband we decided on going to brunch at one of our favorite local restaurants (that the kids do not like).  Since we never get to go it was a big deal to us to go enjoy a meal other than pizza and nachos,lol.  We also got to talk and enjoy one another while at brunch with no interruptions.  It was just what we needed. Taking time out of our busy life as parents to reconnect as spouses is something I hope to do more often this year with my husband. I look forward to more dates and hope to have at least one a month over this year.  Now to come up with our next date idea even if it is simple.  What are your go to dates?

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
