As you know, Macaroni Kid focuses primarily on events and activities for kids and families. But a date night with my hubby, a Girls' Night Out with my besties or just heading out to a local activity makes me a better mom!
Being a parent is rewarding and fulfilling and having a little time for yourself is important too! Regular date nights can strengthen relationships, increase communication and allow you to de-stress. And ultimately, happy parents make happy kids!
Even if dinner and a movie is your favorite standard go-to date night out, here are a few events as suggestions that are also considered "babysitter worthy".Â
Enjoy!
