Before we decided to have another child, i knew things would change. Kadiann being 14 and Alessia 8, we rarely needed a babysitter, if we ever went out the girls would end up having sleepovers at their friends house and life was a little easier and to be honest, care free.
I enjoyed my weekends off work and Friday evenings where me and Scott would go to the local pub quiz night with a few friends.Those days have had to be put on hold for a while as Nila is only 15 weeks old, and being the protective mother that i am, i am not ready yet for anyone to watch her for a long period of time.That doesn't mean i have to miss out.
Although Scott still goes out on the weekend, we also have games night at home, i love it. We put the girls to bed , order a take away and decide what we fancy doing that night.It varies , so some nights we have movie night,even though i end up falling asleep half way through the movie,sorry Scott!, we get the board games out- we normally start off with Scattergories,definitely a classic.Or we go online and play games.

My date nights with my husband also is a movie-night on the couch :) We usually have cold meat, cheese and wine. I guess as parents, you just try to make do with what you can!
ReplyDeleteI love to play BINGO, usually in the christmas eve while waiting for the midnite coming. :D
ReplyDeleteWe had our kids really close together so finding a sitter that could handle all three toddlers at once was really tough so we had to get creative. To be honest, for several years we were just too exhausted to go out much so pizza delivery and Netflix became our thing. Now that the kids are a bit older and we live near family we do go out a little more.
ReplyDeleteI've never played Bingo 'properly', but visiting a Bingo hall is on my list of things I want to experience. I had never thought of playing online!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the big age gap and not going out a lot thing... It can take some getting used to can't it? Although I do like a cosy night in too! :)
ReplyDeleteBingo is so much fun! My hubby doesn't enjoy it but my daughter (13) loves to go!
ReplyDeleteI love Bingo. Online Bingo is great when you have a young family too x
ReplyDeleteWe've never tried Bingo, I bet it is great fun and a good way to break up an evening x
ReplyDeleteNever tried online bingo I bet it's so much fun though!
ReplyDeleteI think the joy of playing bingo is the atmosphere and playing at home doesn't have that. Glad you enjoy it though
ReplyDeleteI've always been available bit scared to play bingo online in case I get carried away. You can't beat a bingo hall though, loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteWould never think of bingo. It's a nice meal, bottle of wine and a film for us or going out.
ReplyDeleteThis is great for a date night in! We like to go to the movies. Our local movie theater has a bar ;) so this mama is happy! LOL
ReplyDeleteI used to LOVE Playing bingo as a child. I can even remember asking for a whole bingo set for one of my birthdays. We would only get it out to play on special occasions! Makes me want to go home and play it now.

We love going to the cinema for a date night, or for a sit down meal where we can just talk. I always feel like I've come away knowing a bit more about him, despite us already being together for 5 years. It's crazy but the bonding time helps so much
ReplyDeleteBrilliant way to still have fun rather than just watching the TV!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to unwind. I enjoy playing Bingo.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum absolutely loves online bingo sites and she seems to win some good money too, so who am I to argue? Mich x
ReplyDeleteAs an 18 year-old we would often hit the local bingo hall as we thought that it was a really fun night out. Nowadays, our fun nights are nights on the sofa watching Netflix. I know people who do really well on Bingo sites.
ReplyDeleteIf its a date night in for us we play card generally. Although we are also a little partial to a game of monopoly. Sad I know! Very rarely do we get to go out as the kids are still so young. But I think spending time together is the key! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to chill out, I'm such a sore loser though. We love watching Netflix on the sofa, it's our way to unwind! Rarely get to go out anywhere these days, haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to relax and unwind together! I also love that you can use it from your phone so no laptop is needed x
ReplyDeleteI've never played on line bingo, or any on line gambling of any kind really, but then I think I've only played bingo once in my whole life! I was so disheartened when I didn't win that I never went back!
ReplyDeleteThe best date nights are at home with a takeaway and a film.

Ah when you mentioned quiz night I suddenly realised how much I miss them!! X
ReplyDeleteWe go out in every 3-4 weeks or so for a dinner or theatre/movie. But I also enjoy cosy night inns with a bottle of wine and watching some Friday night telly.
ReplyDeleteThe important part is that you spent time together! Sounds like a fun place.
