Date night picnic at home
This year marks twenty years of my husband and I being together. Lasting relationships take hardwork, patience, and a little alone time. With a house full of kids and a long to-do list, it’s hard to carve out time for each other.
We’ve found that date nights are so important. Sometimes it’s a sitter and out we go for drinks and small bites at lots of little bars and restaurants. Other times we create our own happy hour at home.
Date nights at home simplify everything. All you really need to do is make sure the kids can survive 15 minutes without your undivided attention. Then put together a few things to snack on, mix up a good cocktail, and hide on the back porch or on a picnic blanket in your yard.
On this particular at home picnic date night, that’s exactly what I did! With a simple cheese plate, a picnic blanket, bluetooth speaker, and a refreshing white wine spritzer.
White wine spritzers are great in warm weather. Mix up a big pitcher and enjoy with friends on the patio – or with your partner during a date night at home!

This sounds like lovely flavors. I really like the idea of letting it sit to let the flavors mesh longer.
