Share the Love: Date Night Ideas

This is our second to last link up with Keeping up with the Cantelmos!

Today we are talking about date night ideas! I love date nights and with having a little one they are far and few between just the 2 of us! Usually our date nights are the 3 of us, which I don't mind, but I do like some alone time with Grant too!

Here are some fun things we love to do!

Go on a hike together!

There is something about being outside in beautiful scenery just the two of you.  We love it!

Drive somewhere and explore!

For us, up North is fun because there is snow! So take a day trip somewhere and explore!

Take a walk!

This is my handsome hubby and he loves to longboard.  If you are limited on time, taking a walk together is fun and free :)

Rent a movie and dine in!

This is probably our favorite date night! After Emrie goes down, we love to watch a movie together, cuddle on the couch and eat chinese!

What are some fun date ideas you have??

This weekend...

I will be making a lot more of these

All are in the shop HERE

I will also be working on Emrie's 1st Birthday! I can't believe she will already be one next month.

The theme of her party is pink lemonade and here are some fun ideas I found all from pinterest.

So fun huh?

Happy weekend!

So while thinking of ideas, I thought it would be fun to do outfits for 3 categories: Women, babies, and pregnant women. 

I had fun looking through all my photos on iphoto, so that was where my inspiration came from today!

BABIES:

PREGNANT:

                                     WOMEN:

A Getaway.

Doesn't the beach sound so nice right now? 

I am dreaming of a getaway

But since that is not happening anytime soon, I will just daydream about my favorite getaway: Our Honeymoon.

What has been your favorite getaway?

Guest Post: Melanie--my sister in law :)

I am so excited to be swapping blogs with Melanie today!! You can go here to read my post. She is not only my friend, but sister in law! How fun right? And she just found out she is pregnant so I get another little niece or nephew and cousin for Emrie!  She has some great advice, so be sure to read and go say hi to her! :)

Hi there! My name is Melanie and I am so thankful to be swapping blogs with my sister in law Ashley today.

I started blogging to update family about my kids and husband. Soon I realized that I could use my blog to bless and encourage other men and women. God laid it on my heart to share my story and how God has redeemed me. I had two children before I married my husband. It was not ideal and not what I planned. Even though I made mistakes and turned away from God. God continued to pursue me and show me how much He loved me.

Currently our family is going through a challenging season due to my husband losing his job this past June. God is carrying us through this difficult time and blessing us during this storm. He is so good.

We also just found out that God is blessing us with another child due in August. We continue to trust Him that He will provide a job for my husband and take care of our family.

I wanted to share with you about what has been on my heart lately. The other day, I was reading one of my favorite blogs. I was about to leave a comment when I saw a nasty comment someone had wrote. For some reason it just broke my heart. It made me so sad that someone would want to leave a mean comment to hurt the person that wrote such a beautiful post about her family. I couldn’t stop thinking about it that night. There is no way I can control what people comment but I can control what I comment on blogs. My desire is to encourage people at my blog but I also want to encourage other bloggers with my comments. I have made a goal for myself to leave 5 positive and encouraging comments on different blogs each day.

Would you join me?

Lets encourage one another in our life journey.

Lets build one another up, rather than tear each other down.

Lets pray for one another and support each other.

That is my goal.

Let me know if you want to make that your goal as well.

Love, 

10 months

My sweet girl is 10 months today!! 

This weekend she decided it was time to walk.  She is growing up too fast but is the greatest blessing!

Though I still try to put things in her hair, I think she is getting over it :)

We love you Emrie bug!!
