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.

@bot__us is a GPS Tracker with 2 way voice messaging.  My kids are at that age where they’re all over the place and always with friends, but we aren’t quite ready to get them phones yet.📱

With #BoTTalk,  we can easily communicate with them (screen free!!!) and know their location at all times. 

You can set the app to notify you when kids arrive or leave a certain location. And then, it has a feature to silence it during school hours or whenever you set it. 

💙It just gives me so much peace of mind and the kids LOVE it! Plus, it’s a really great price point and the monthly subscription is really affordable ($4.99/mo for GPS only or $6.99 for GPS + voice messaging) ✨ Now available on @Amazon
