Date 27

 Today is the last day for dating your kids and there's only two days left of date ideas. I hope this month has offered you some creative new ideas for dating. Today's finally date idea with your kids is to have fun. I guess that's the goal of all dates is to have fun. What else is there?

  So today's date is to play games! You can play one on one, rotating amongst your kids children if you have more than one or play with all your children. A marathon of games. How about setting up games in a few rooms so you change rooms and games after 30 minutes. Set up your game system and play that too. Why pin yourself to just boardgames? You could even set up stations outside if you liked. A game of tag or catch. Regardless of what you choose.

  Have fun and play games with your child. Dating is not a chore; there are many options to have a good date besides dinner and a movie.

Date 22

  Good morning!  Another date with your kids today! Are you excited?  Did you have fun yesterday?  I know that my kids act differently when they are separated as well.  I have less problems, I hear less yelling and I ultimately have less stress.  So when I can hang out with just one it is a little fun.  Boy only children have it made.

  Today it is another date outside!  Whether it's raining, snowing or a bright sunshine day.  Kids love to go outside.  Take a trip to the park.  Not the kind with slides and swings.  This time you and little one are going to walk and explore.  Make a scavenger hunt. I have a few pinned on pinterest.  Walk around a lake or just take a short trail through the woods.

  Today's date is just providing you with an option to spend some quiet quality time with each other. I don't mean quiet as in don't talk; I just mean quiet as in focused undivided attention without the squeals going down a slide.  My two younger kids like going for walks at the park a whole lot more than my older two.  They like to see the squirrels running, a turtle in the water, count bridges on our path or just all the fresh air they are getting.

  So there you go! Go on out and have some fresh air fun.  If you have more than one child maybe spend a half hour with each of them.  It's nice to see their personality without the others around.  I like to listen to them as the describe something to me.  It's so much easier to focus on them individually.  I know they like it too.

Date 19

  As we are finishing up this week with dating friends.  The last two days are a nice change of pace.  A time to just hang out with your friend.  Time to talk or just time to be together.  These last two days offer new ideas for you to do with your friends.  As always I try to keep it unique!

  Today instead of taking those clothes to the local thrift store trade them with your friends.  You don't need to limit yourself to just clothes.  Check your jewlery, perfume or belts!  Anything you don't use, will never use or bought on a whim!  Your friend may not be the same size but we all speak the language of shoes or purses.

  One day may be short notice but give yourself a week to gather up some items.  Invite some more friends into the friend swap to get more variety.  Set a limit of  atleast 1 item per person; for example if you get 6 girls to join you all of you bring atleast 6 items.

  Pull out some wine and shop amongst yourselves.  Anything leftover although I doubt it could then go to the thriftstore.  Have fun with your new to you clothes!

Date 16

  Dating with your friend or friends today takes you to the outside world.  I haven't been out of the house by myself for an extended amount of time without kids for awhile unless it was a doctors appointment.   Even then depending on the appointment they have accompanied me there too.  So a trip out and about with a friend sounds like music to my ears.

  Take a trip to the mall today.  Your mission if you choose to accept it is to have fun exploring the mall or a strip mall.  Check out a new store, the new fashions, get you nails done or maybe try on random outfits.  This date doesn't have to cost anything.  You are in charge of the expenses for this date.  You can just stick strictly to window shopping, trying clothes on or even raking up laps on your shoes.

  Whatever you choose to do.  Have fun doing it!

Date 11

  This week you have spent time with your significant other be it a spouse or good friend.  You have enjoyed yourselves out and about on walks, in parks, in movies and at dinner.  A date can be anywhere.  It can also be at anytime.

  Today takes you outside again.  Take a trip to the waterfront.  It doesn't need to be a beach; it could be a lake.  I have a lake close by that you can walk around in a reasonable amount of time or I could just go to the waterside and sit in the car, beach or bench and bask in its glory.

  I always like to see the sunrise.  I don't know if it's about the colors or something internal but, I truly enjoy seeing the sun and water.  Water to me is so entertaining.  The lapping of the waves, the seagulls squawking, and the sand under my feet.  It brings me some kind of peace.

  The sunrise is a hard thing to catch though.  I have made it a few times but I'll just appreciate those random times.  You have to watch the news and get the times then add on drive time.  Too much math!

  Have fun at the water today.  It will not be warm enough for a dip but always cool enough to look at.

Date 10

  Date 10 is your dinner date.  Why squeeze all your alone time into one day.  Let's spread it out and make it more entertaining.  Remember when you were younger and dating someone.  You would go out with him one day and look forward to seeing him again the next day.  Think of it like that.

  Yesterday was the movies and today dinner.  I also notice in my area that restaurants are less crowded during the middle of the week which also leads to more sales.  The restaurants want you in there so they offer discounts to get you in.

  Outback is one place that comes to mind.  They have a No Worries Wednesday deal.  Two meals for a certain price that includes your appetizer to your dessert.  You can't beat that.  They also started a No Worries Sunday as well.  Although other restaurants offer 2 for 1 deals not specified to Wednesday also.  Red Lobster still has one and Chili's and Applebee's also had one but I am not sure if they still have it going on.

  Not a big deal to call around and plan your dining experience.  See what their specials are and the availabilities.  Again it's no fun to go broke dating.

  Have some dinner and spend time together before, during and after.  Your call what you do but today at least spend a meal together.
