Nothing like waiting until the last minute to plan anything, right?! I’m right there with you. Mood, Food & Games is a collection of ideas to create a last minute Valentine’s date with your special someone.
You can still have a memorable and romantic evening at home. The goal is to create a romantic mood and celebrate each other.
Create The Mood
Break out the candles. No overhead lighting allowed!
Set the music slow and low.
Set Up A Valentine Theme Hot Cocoa Bar.
Build a fire in the fireplace.
Use what you have to create a Valentine Tablescape.
Plan your stay-at-home meal on the deck, al fresco.

Plan a Romantic Dinner at Home
Plan a nice quiet romantic dinner at home with any of these easy recipe ideas. You don’t need a fancy restaurant for romance. You need a babysitter and some time alone at home. These ideas are easy and inexpensive. The meal is important but not as much as being alone and the way you did when you first fell in love.
