So, we started off really keen to complete our full A to Z of dates but it seems that we paused after letter I and didn’t even notice! Such is parenthood it seems. We did, however, complete our J date last year so here it is. We went to the open-air cinema Read more…
Ok, so we copped out on our I date slightly. The plan was to pop down the road, armed with recipes, to the Exotic Superstore (it’s amazing!) and buy the ingredients to make an Indian feast. Often our dates revolve around food, and we love cooking so we were looking Read more…
My lack of blog posts this month is indicative of how hectic life has been the last few weeks. I’ve done a fair bit of travelling for work and I feel like I have a to-do list way longer than my arm so we haven’t managed many date nights. So, Read more…
It’s been a hectic few weeks (again) without an alphabet date. We did have an evening a few weeks back that we called a ‘Good date’. The hubby made delicious food, we watched trashy TV, I drank Gin and we just had a good evening. Sometimes, at the end of Read more…
