Go on a Picnic in the Backyard
Make some sandwiches and a fun cocktail, spread a blanket out in the backyard and enjoy a fun afternoon out in the sunshine.

No more running to the store for bottles of seltzer to make your favorite cocktails, use SodaStream’s Aqua Fizz to turn your regular tap water to sparkling water in seconds.

Steps:
- Prepare the sparkling water: Fizz 1 bottle of cold water

Homemade Pizza or Chocolate Fondue Night
Make your perfect pizza together or melt some chocolate fondue for dessert to treat yourself to a night of cooking and dining together. Here is an easy pizza dough recipe from The Kitchn if you are feeling adventurous and want to try making your own. If not, store bought pizza shells work just fine.

Jergens Body Butter: Scent is also important to leveling our stress or mood so finish your self-care spa experience with Jergens Lavender body butter. Ultra-hydrating blend of shea, cocoa, mango butters. Jergens, $5.59
Watch a Sports Game Together on Youtube
Put on your team spirit shirts and hats. Eat nachos and hot dogs and re-watch one of your favorite games together.

Write out the story of how you fell in love – or even better – video it!
Your kids will love to have your story documented for the future and it’s fun to go down memory lane and read or watch years down the road. Plus, it’s a perfect time to recount what we are grateful for in life and in each other right now so take a little time to reconnect and remember all the details from your journey together.
