How to Have a Successful Date Night at Home

Sometimes in our journey as parents, getting out for a date just isn't feasible. It could be that the baby is too young, the money isn't there for a sitter, or it's just too much to pass your kiddos off to someone else. Russ and I have had some very fun date night at home, and today I wanted to share some tips that have helped us be successful at this including Kidfresh Frozen Meals which are currently 40% off using the Cartwheel App at Target!

Plan ahead. You don't always have to know the exact night you're going to have your date night, but get things on hand so you can. Think of a meal you'd like to prepare together and purchase the ingredients for it. Have a Pinterest board with some fun ideas you'd like to try. Russ and I have done date nights at home with a full fledged meal we've wanted to make like home made meatballs, and we've also done more simple things like at home s'mores or just watching a movie. Even get a pizza delivery from that gourmet joint your kids won't eat! Just have a plan so that you won't skip out on the night because it seems like too much work.



Feed the kiddos early. Prepare a meal for your kids that takes little prep and you know they'll love. We recently tried out Kidfresh Frozen Meals, and they are perfect for a night like this. They are ready to eat in just four minutes and they come in varieties your kids will love! We tried out the Kidfresh Super Duper Chicken Nuggets and Kidfresh Mamma Mia Cheesy Pizza. There are many other varieties too, so you're bound to find many your kids will love.



Besides the kid-friendly varieties, Kidfresh Frozen Meals contain up to 1/2 cup of hidden veggies in every meal. They also contain no artificial flavors or ingredients, no synthetic colors or flavors and non-GMO ingredients. They can easily be paired with fruit to make a simple and quick meal.



Kidfresh Frozen Meals are very cost effective ranging in price from $2.99 to $3.99. The Kidfresh Mamma Mia Cheesy Pizza package contained two pizzas and the Kidfresh Super Duper Chicken Nuggets package contained enough nuggets for over two servings.


They can be found in the Kid Faves freezer section at Target. Right now, they are on Cartwheel at Target for 40% off through September 24th!



Make it feel special. Set the table with the a candle in the middle. Get dressed up. Or if that's too much, get out the fancy paper plates. Do something to make the time together memorable.



Expect interruptions. Kids just have a knack for when mom and dad want to have time together. Laugh off that request for one more drink or one more tattle on brother or sister. Getting frustrated will just ruin the mood for the night! Focus on the time with your spouse and just enjoy it.

How do you make in home date nights work at your house? Which variety of Kidfresh Frozen Meals do you think your child would enjoy?
