Pre - baby, we used to go out, a lot. We went to new restaurants every week. We had a "restaurant week" schedule. Our friends would come to us for recommendations for their special occasions. We were definitely "In the know". Post baby, well we try. But now we realize what a waste of money it is to go out and drop $200 on food and drinks. But we also enjoy and really look forward to the time together. We enjoy it a little too much, and we pay for it the next day. Parenting hungover is like hell on earth. A non-stop toddler whose favorite thing to say is "come on momma/dadda, come on, let's go play/running/scream!" There is no time to order pizza and watch "Friends" re-runs on Netflix. And it is not fair to Juliana to just lay around and not play. So we suck it up, drink a lot of coffee, and play our hearts out!
I also love having girl time with my friends and family. I have been able to meet them at new places around town, catch up on life, and just have break from my "jobs". Michael goes to Brash on his day and enjoys the time to "just be".
But, I think we need to find some new activities for date nights though to mix it up. What do you like to do with your spouse or friends?
We like to do nothing. Lol. We pick up dinner wand watch tv at home.
