A few ideas on Pinterest led me to make Matt a little homemade Christmas gift. Due to our CRAZY schedules, I thought I needed to do something to make “date nights” I priority. But, getting a sitter AND spending money on a fun night out gets SUPER expensive, SUPER fast. So, take a look at what I made…
Each page has a sealed envelope that has a fun “date” for us. It includes things like…
January: Movie Night (with candy and popcorn)
February: Wine & Cheese Tasting
March: Game Night
April: “One of the Guys” Night (video games, pizza & wings)
May: Make a Yummy Dessert Together
June: Picnic in the backyard
July: VIP Lounge
August: Ice Cream Sundaes in the Kiddie Pool
September: Jammies, Snacks and Shows in bed
October: Pumpkin Carving/Painting while sipping on Pumpkin Spice Lattes
November: Go through my Project Life and talk about the blessings of our year
December: Drink Peppermint Mochas while we make Peanut Butter Balls and listen to our favorite Christmas music
Most of the things are practically free and are fun things we can do once the boys go to bed. I can’t wait to “go out” with my hubby!!! And, it’s not too late to make your own. It would be a perfect Valentine’s Day gift! Happy Dating!

Oh, my goodness this is such a cute idea! Thank you for sharing.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Could you possibly give some more of the dates that you set up??? I would love to do this but I'm having a hard time coming up with 12 different things!! Thanks
Such a fun idea! I would also love your list of 12 things since I'm not as creative as you :) Thanks!
So fun!! I love your "in" ideas! I did this same thing for Scott for Christmas (thanks pinterest!) but just did half in & half out....we did the first one last Friday ;). Y'all enjoy it!!
I love this idea! It will be a perfect gift for Valentine's Day!
What a cute idea! I just love your blog! You are so creative! :)
Brit - love it! Thanks for opening up your life (and ideas) to share!! I think I'll try this for Valentine's Day - minus all the "shmoopy" stuff. You know I can't handle anything to mushy ;)
Hugs!
Ok, I added a few of the details for those of you that requested it! :) Honestly, I forgot how I worded each because they're sealed in Matt's book...but, this is the basic idea! Hope it helps!!! So glad y'all like it!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Such a great idea!
That could not possibly be any cuter. Love!
Did you just use a scrapbook or was it something you made?
thank you for sharing we are expecting our second little one and I think this will be a perfect vday gift
Such a cute idea! I found you on Pinterest and was wondering...what is "VIP Lounge" and "Project Life"?
Love this idea! Definitely going to have to get to working on one for the hubs for V day!

Hi there...not sure what VIP lounge is going to look like....maybe candles, jazz music, chocolates?! ....and, project life is an amazing scrap booking system by Becky Higgins. This is my first year to do it and I live it. You can buy it on amazon...or google it to see lots of ideas!!! :)
Hi. I just used a little paper scrapbook I found at hobby lobby!
so fun! I love this idea. My friend sent me your link. I am thinking about getting my husband to plan 6 and I plan the other 6!
Thanks for the fun ideas! I am working on making a list of date night ideas for me and my boyfriend.
