Don’t Have Another “Date Night In” Until You Read this List!

August 13 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Really doable ideas on how to make dinner and a movie at home more fun - nothing ridiculous my hubby will roll his eyes at!

If you’re like our family, having young children in your brood can mean a lot of “Date Nights In”.

While ordering our favorite takeout and zoning out on the couch to Netflix can be relaxing at the end of a long week, it’s not exactly the best way I know to keep the romance alive.

So I’ve done a little research and put together a list of 10 ways to liven up dinner and movie at home with minimal effort. And I promise, it’s stuff you’ll actually want to do. I really can’t take all those helpful suggestions to do things like taking turns drawing charactertures of each other – umm, no (thank you).

Check out the list here. (#6 is our absolute favorite – The hubby and I cover the coffee table with a big beach blanket, que up our favorite movie and have so much fun!)

P.S. Want more MPMK goodness? Be sure to sign up for our newsletter (and get the free 6 week meal plan) and to follow us on pinterest and facebook.

Happy weekend!
