Home Dates

Regardless of age or stage of relationship, sometimes we don’t really feel like leaving the house, but we still want to have fun, and should!

I always try to find ideas for me & bae to do when we don’t want (or can’t afford) to.

Here’s my list of realistic fun & low or no cost home dates:

• If you have groceries: Make or bake a (potentially obscure) recipe specifically designed around only what you already have
• If you want take out: Eat it by candlelight
• If you drink alcohol: Find a (safe) drinking game
• If you have Netflix: Chill
• If you have Cable: Watch a crappy On Demand movie & make all the comments while watching
• If you have HULU: Binge watch a new show together
• If you have a pool: Build your open beach
• If you need a massage: Build your own spa
• If you have pillows & blankets: Make a fort! The bigger, the better
• If you have friends: Invite them over! The more, the merrier
• If you have video games: Play them, even if you have to teach each other how
• If you have board games/deck of cards/puzzles: Have some old school fun
• If you have art supplies: Create something together to hang in your home
• If you have books: Read to each other
• If you have a fire pit: Toast marshmallows or Roast weenies
• If you have a tub: Take a bubble bath
• If you have a projector: Make your very own movie theater
• If you have a garden: Make a day out of yard work
• If you have records & a player: Listen to them together. You could even compare them to remastered versions, if you’re into that
• If you have time: Make a bucket list
• If you have pets: Take them for a walk (even if it’s only across the room or their tank)
• If you have a hoarding room (garage, attic, basement, etc): Clean up house
• If you can: Have a yard/garage/estate sale
• If you have some extra spending money: Buy something you both love for your home
• If you’re eventually moving: Take virtual tours & make commentary as a snobby/ditzy/chill realtor
• If you’re in your forever home: Stage/tour your own home
• If you have to: Clean
• If you need to: Organize
• If you want to: Decorate
