All day. Tripping over each other. Turning the music down. Taking the last piece of cake. Finishing the coffee. Passing silently in the hallway.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it was hard to spend valuable time together in regular life, from needy little kids and sleepless nights to needy big kids wanting a ride somewhere, not to mention work, chores, and general chaos. Now that I work from home and my husband (and kids) are schooling from home, it&#8217;s a whole difficult, I mean different, story.<\/p>\n<p>So, enough! I bring you Date Night Ideas During COVID-19: Stay home! Stay safe! Don&#8217;t lose your ever-lovin&#8217; mind!<\/p>\n<h3>In-House Date Nights: Saving Money Since March 12<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Garage<\/strong>: Go sit in the car, and listen to some music together, like a quarantine concert. Sort through old love letters while you&#8217;re out there if that floats your boat. (Do we still have love letters?) Either way, maybe you won&#8217;t hear the kids fighting from the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backyard:\u00a0<\/strong>When the weather finally warms up (it has to happen eventually, right?) get out your lounge chairs, make a fancy drink, and have cocktails together. You could even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/calgary\/start-your-indoor-home-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plan a home garden<\/a> before you relax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Great Outdoors:\u00a0<\/strong>So, it&#8217;s not in-house, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/calgary\/calgary-parks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">going on walks<\/a> might be the thing that saves your mental health. I&#8217;m guessing good mental health would probably be great for your relationship, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kitchen:\u00a0<\/strong>Oh, this is where date night gets good. By good, I mean there&#8217;s food, of course. Travel the world with your dinner! Pick your favourite cuisine and make it together. Take an online cooking class. Or just dip strawberries in chocolate and call it #goodenough, my theme for this whole calamity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dining Room:<\/strong>\u00a0This is where you eat your delicious meal or sing the praises of delivery and take-out. Set the table with either fancy dishes or paper plates, depending on your clean-up tolerance, put the kids to bed (or banish them if they&#8217;re as old as mine), and enjoy a nice dinner together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Living Room:<\/strong> Find some <a href=\"https:\/\/freshlymarried.com\/100-conversational-questions-to-ask-your-spouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great questions<\/a> to ask each other. You might be surprised at what you find out. Hopefully, it&#8217;s a pleasant surprise. Maybe you can even plan a second honeymoon and dream together. (Road trip? Check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/calgary\/us-national-park-virtual-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual tours of U.S. National Parks<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basement:\u00a0<\/strong>Grab a few weights or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/calgary\/ymca-virtual-classes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a workout video<\/a> and exercise together. Just joking! At least, that would never fly in my house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Room:\u00a0<\/strong>Enjoy a movie together &#8211; preferably a comedy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bathroom: <\/strong>MMM &#8211; a bubble bath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bedroom:<\/strong>\u00a0AND that&#8217;s where we stop.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you end up doing, keep your spirits up, be kind, and get through this together!<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"_4yxp\">Looking for more tips on how to keep your kids occupied during the COVID-19 crisis?
