Worst phrase to hear during the week? I'll go first... "What do you want to watch tonight?" Gag.
If you're also tired of living the same weekday on repeat, you're in the right place. A mid-week at-home date is a life-changer. Each week I share a new themed date. This week's is a floral themed date. Everything you need to plan it yourself is below!

Step-By-Step Date:
1. Make some drinks!
This week we made a lavender gin cocktail with an egg white foam. It's so so good! It's light & airy while still having tons of depth. You can grab the recipe here!
2. Start on dinner and/or snacks.
This date night appetizer is one of our all time favs! It's so simple, but feels extra special. All you do is add honeycomb, thyme, and sunflower seeds to burrata & serve it with naan bread. If you want the full recipe you can grab it below!
3. Create your floral arrangements together.
Lay out whatever florals you bought & begin creating a floral arrangement. You can do one together or each do your own! See how creative you can get.
4. Try out "chaos gardening"!
Chaos gardening is basically throwing down some seeds that do well in your growing zone & hoping for the best! It's a great low commitment way to grow some flowers for the summer (+ be able to make affordable arrangements right at home!)
If you're unfamiliar, here is a guide on 'How To Do Chaos Gardening'.
5. Go through the connection questions.
Putting phones away is super important during this portion of the date. All of this week's connection questions are listed at the bottom of this post!
6. Watch a movie & enjoy your snacks.
Here are a few on-theme movies you might enjoy:
1. Alice In Wonderland
2. Pride & Prejudice
3. Midnight In Paris
4. It Ends With Us (TW)
