Valentines Date Ideas

10 Valentine’s Date Ideas
via
(1) Avoid crowded restaurants; pick up your favorite dinner to go and dine under the stars, at a park, or by candlelight on a blanket in the living room. 
(2) Take out your wedding video/pictures and watch how the conversation and memories come back.
 (3) Game Night: take out your favorite board games and let the competition begin. Better yet, make it a championship. Play your 3 favorite games and see who is the ultimate champion. {make sweet valentines treats to eat while playing} 
 (4) Begin the fun when you first wake up. Leave notes in places for him to find around the house (milk, bathroom, shower, next to car keys). Give him hints about the night and write little things you love about him. Continue this throughout the day in the form of texts. This will keep you both anticipating ALL DAY! 
 (5) Go to a playground. Have a Frisbee or football packed in the car and just play together. 
 (6) The classic: Dinner and a Movie – order pizza, rent a redbox and enjoy a nice evening snuggled up at home. 
 (7) Wii or Xbox game night -same idea as the game night above except “virtually”.

 (8) Go to a go-cart / put-put golf place and have a blast! 
 (9) Enjoy going out? Go to dinner and a movie; or better yet, see two movies (your choice and his).
 (10) Dessert. Dessert. Dessert. Go to three different restaurants and only order dessert. After all, its Valentines day.

  • Mother’s Day plans 💐 = DONE ✔️✨

If you’re looking for a way to truly spoil mom this year, this is your sign 💐 We spent the day at @TBahama and it was everything—from the prettiest gift finds to the most delicious lunch all in one place.

We found the cutest pieces (this bag + hat combo… obsessed 💗), cozy staples you’ll wear on repeat, plus jewelry, accessories, and even Maui Jim sunnies 👏🏻

Then we topped it off with lunch and let me just say… their Mother’s Day weekend menu is going to be unreal! Oat Banana Pancakes, Lobster & Crab Crepes, AND a “Call Your Mother” cocktail—yes please 🥂

Honestly, you could do the entire day right here and make mom feel so special (and grab a gift card while you’re at it 😉)

Save this idea for Mother’s Day💕

  • Easy teacher appreciation gift idea you can make in 10 minutes 🍎✨

📚COMMENT “shop” for the links.

If you need an easy but thoughtful DIY teacher gift, this “container of appreciation” is such a cute way to say thank you without overthinking it.

I grabbed this viral pencil case and filled it with classroom must-haves, a few fun treats, and a little personalized touch ❤️

It’s perfect if you’re looking for a last-minute teacher appreciation gift, something practical, and still super cute + meaningful.

Save this for Teacher Appreciation Week or send it to another mom who needs an easy idea 💌🙌🏻
