Bring Back Date
Night!
“Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you
are supposed to be thinking about something else.”- Nicholas Sparks
My husband and I are always looking for new ways to spice up
our marriage. Let’s face it…the days can be long when you have young kids, and
sometimes there is just simply no time to plan something “romantic” once the
kids have finally gone to bed. Your idea of romance becomes lazily molding to
the couch while zoning out to The O’Reilly Factor (no offense, Babe!)
I think this card (above)
that I made for my husband last Valentine’s Day sums up a majority of marriages
once kids become involved. J
I researched and found an online company called Unbox Love
(unboxlove.com). This particular company sends us a box every month with
everything needed for the perfect at home date for that busy couple. We
absolutely love it!

We receive our date box subscription in the mail around the
15th of each month. It is always a surprise as to what we are
getting. The box includes everything you need to enjoy about two hours of
quality time together.
There are three subscription options, with free cancelation
at any time! The boxes run around $39 per month, which can sound a little
pricey! However, think about it! You
probably don’t get to go out very often if you are a parent. This box replaces
that money you used to spend going out on a date, and I guarantee you would
spend more than $39 out on the town!

Our Gingerdead cookies we made together! |
An Example Box: December
Our December date was really cute! Each box comes with date
cards that guide you through the date. You follow steps, very user friendly.
The climax of the December date was a “Gingerdead Kit,” gingerbread zombies! We
made the cookies together and decorated them using the zombie-like cookie
cutters provided, while discussing conversation starters provided in our box.
It was very unique and something we probably would not have come up with on our
own.
The boxes are such a great way to ensure you have at least
one scheduled, planned date night together as a couple each month! And
everything is already taken care of for you!
