11 Fall Date Ideas

Show notes

About This Episode Being creative with your weekly date nights can get difficult over the years, which is why we put together 11 fall date ideas for you. In this lighter episode we walk through our favorite autumn dates, from dreaming together over coffee and visiting a pumpkin patch to building a blanket fort, stargazing, horseback riding, and raking a neighbor's leaves as a way to serve together. We also talk about why date night should be intentional time alone as a couple, even for busy parents, and share our simple trick for family-friendly outings: go twice, once with the kids and once without. And yes, almost every idea comes with dessert.
