DATE NIGHT FUN â—½ MARRIAGE
What’s more decadent than something good to eat, a night on the town with color and sound, or a combination of both? It’s February, and it’s time for the most indulgent ideas you can think of, when it comes to a night out on the town, or in your living room, as well…'
​
A Steakhouse – Find one that’s affordable and has ambience and make it a night of indulgence in steak, the trimmings, an appetizer and a dessert, if you can. You can totally share, if the meal and sides are too large for one. Dress up, and stay a while at the restaurant. Then take a walk after, if the area allows. I’m not necessarily a steak lover, but I do love some amazing sides. So we enjoy this idea together!
​
Wear Red – I know, it’s Valentine’s month, so this is a no brainer. But what about a red purse for you, and a new red shirt for him? In fact, make it part of your dating experience. Go shopping for both items, then wear them out on your date wherever you go. Stroll a mall, go to the movies, or go out with friends, all wearing red!
Red Velvet? Why, Yes! – We recently stopped at Nothing Bundt Cake and bought a mini red velvet cake and shared it, in the car. Include some red paper plates and forks. Watch the sunset from the car or atop a hill. Then drive around looking for red things, and see if you can find 10! How fun!
Paint or Create together – Craftoria has the coolest paint by number sets you can order on line, there are so many choices. There are also so many cute paint books with brushes that you can purchase as well. Plan a date where you create. That rhymes! You can paint at your dining table, set up a table painting area in the garage or back patio, or even in the car in a pretty setting out your window!
Mexican Food and Color – We love Mexican food, and there’s no more colorful places than Mexican restaurants! Choose one of your faves, or a new spot, and enjoy all the rich colors. Be sure stay for churros or sopapillas at the end of your dinner. Then go home and watch A Day Without a Mexican – have you seen that movie?
Rich and wonderful time with each other, full of color and brightness, and all things decadent and delicious. What could be better for the month of love?
