Is the thought of staying up past 10pm on a Friday making you yawn? When was the last time you and your Dear Husband spent some quality ALONE time together? With kids running around and work demanding so much of your time and family obligations who has time for an elaborate candlelit dinner and dancing afterwards. Fun date nights don’t have to be expensive or even far from home, they don’t even have to be at night. Call the grandparents or cash in that baby-sitting coupon from the BFF and do something different this weekend.
