In-house Date Night: Beach Theme

I am writing this in behalf of Peter,

who inspired this post with his

awesome date-night creativity.

This is a fun date-night theme for

a lack of babysitter, low budget, pregnant

couch-laden mama, and

just enjoying each others company!

This menu is based on the one Peter cleverly
printed out. 

He sent this to me during the day to

surprise me and prepare me for

an impromptu date!

Lay out a tablecloth or beach towels on the floor.

Set your places for dining (a picnic basket is desirable).

Use coconut/ beach scented candles (dim house lights),

flowers in a vase for ambiance,

and Hawaiian playlist (Pandora is great).

Use beach chairs for sitting
(we created beach chairs by laying beach towels over pillows).

Use sun-screen lotion as perfume!

You can play a board game, cards, 

 ask each other questions from a questionnaire,

or just plain chat.

(those fancy phones can download questionnaires no problem!)

We put Sunny to bed early after an early dinner

and then cooked our meal together.

It was such a relaxing date-night for the both of us!
