It's always disappointing to have to cancel your plans, but I've learned that date night at home can be just as fun and sometimes even more fun than a night out on the town together. The next time you find yourself scrambling for a plan B, come back to this post and pull from one of my ideas! They're all fun and easy to put together but different than just ordering pizza and turning on a movie.

If you've never given The Anniversary Inn a try, you really should. I know some people are hesitant because they worry the rooms will be cheesy, but they are far from it. Each one is classy and well put together, down to the details in the knick knacks. You can also take a tour of the properties and some of the different rooms before you book a stay so you know exactly what you’re going into and which rooms fit your personalities best.
Read moreOur Favorite Davis County Chinese - Joy Luck
In our house, we consider Joy Luck to have the best Chinese food in Davis County. When we lived in Bountiful, we ate there on a regular basis. If we weren't there in the restaurant, we were at home enjoying takeout at least once every couple of months. Now that we live in Farmington, we don't eat there as often, mostly because by the time we'd get our takeout order home, it would be cold. (We're still looking for a comparable restaurant up north and if you have any suggestions, we're open to trying them out.) But if we're going on a date and are craving Chinese food, you'll often find us at Joy Luck.
Read moreSetting Guidelines for Your Date Nights
When we started making date night more of a priority, we noticed that there were habits we'd fallen into that were keeping date night from really making a difference for our marriage. We set what we considered rules for our date nights to keep us in check. I don't like to call them rules anymore, I consider them more of guidelines. Guidelines that make date night count and help us grow closer as a couple.

A taste off can make a really fun date night, and one that you can do over and over again. It will always be different because the foods you’re tasting will be different! I wanted to share two different ways to have a fun taste off for an at home date.
Read more4th of July Celebration Alternatives in Davis County for 2020
This year our 4th of July celebrations are going to feel really strange. We’re used to hometown parades and festivals and big firework shows put on by our city.

Read moreWild Rose Trail Sunset Hike
Last summer, a local hiking group organized multiple sunset hikes up the same trail here in Davis County and I was really intrigued by it. We made plans to hike the trail before sunset a couple of times but were never able to actually make it happen. Now that we’ve hiked the trail once and marveled at the view from the lookout point, I can’t wait to do it many more times!
Read moreMini Golf at Cherry Hill
Mini golf is a classic date night activity but it’s one that we hadn’t done for quite a while. I love how laid back it is, compared to a real round of golf or even playing somewhere like Top Golf. We didn’t keep score and were often playing holes a couple of times. The signs and the decor make it a lot more fun as well. If it’s been a while since you went mini golfing, this is a must do date night activity. It’s great for a summer night when you can enjoy the gorgeous weather while doing something fun!

Read moreSkillet Cookies - At Home Date Night
The thing that I could never get enough of from Firehouse Pizzeria were the FH'zzookies. Other restaurants have similar desserts and we tried to replicate them multiple times at home, but nothing ever came close to the actual thing. Then last summer I discovered some great mini skillets and everything changed. Now we make our own skillet cookies at home on a regular basis and they are yummy and perfect for a little date night dessert.

Read moreWhy Your Relationship Needs Date Night
After talking to many couples about their date night habits, I found that the majority wish that they could increase the frequency of their dates and add some variety to their date night activities. I've decided that maybe our use of the term "date night" puts too much pressure on intentional quality time, making it more difficult than it needs to be.
