Date night box night! Most months, we do our date night boxes on a weekend, but this time, we managed to even squeeze it into a weeknight! Imagine that – a date night on a weeknight? Thanks to these at home date night subscription boxes, yes, it’s actually possible. 🙂 Another thing I love about […] Read more…
I don’t know abut the rest of you, but here we are, full-fledged into Christmas season…and I’m still in fully fall mode. But that’s also probably just how it is here in So Cal. The seasons are always confusing. Either that or the thought of Christmas just feels overwhelming, ha ha, so I’m hesitant to […] Read more…
Happy Day of the Dead!! See, I feel like it’s still appropriate to post a Halloween-themed date night box review TODAY, because TODAY is sort of the last day of the “Halloween” season. Right? Maybee? Either way, I’m going with it. I’m not going to again go into how much KP and I never get […] Read more…
This is an addendum post to my other Crated With Love date night box review posts. Every time I review a box, I always mean to do a better job explaining Crated With Love’s Digital Subscription (date night emails) & Bonus Content (online extras to add to your date night box experience), but I never […] Read more…
I’ve said this before, but the best part of doing these date night box reviews is that they FORCE KP and I to spend concentrated, focused time together. That probably sounds pathetic, right? Here I blog all about marriage all the time and I don’t even have these awesome regular connection times with my own […] Read more…
Before we dive into our carnival date night adventure – quick question:
You’re on Instagram, right? I mean, it’s pretty much my favorite social media option out there currently. Yeah, yeah, there are plenty of overly-staged and unrealistically bright imagery from self-proclaimed ‘influencers’ over there. But, beneath all that? The accounts that are actually real? And authentically inspiring? That give you a peek into the lives of other people out there in the world, and make you feel connected to all humanity through these frozen moments in time?Â
That’s what I love about Instagram. Read more…
This month though – I had a surprise for them. Not only did I get a date night box for their dad and I to do, but I also got a box for the KIDS and I to do together!Â
Crated With Love (one of my most favorite date night subscription box options) recently teamed up with a company called WeCraft to offer what they’re calling their “Staycation” package. For $50 you get BOTH subscription boxes – a Subscription Box Staycation ….aaand….wait for it…you ALSO get $20 in gift vouchers toward the two companies to use for future boxes! I do a cost breakdown at the bottom of this post so you can see how awesome of a deal this is. In the meantime, check out all the fun we had on our ‘subscription box staycation’: Read more…
Fun fact: I consider myself THE primo connoisseur of date night at home subscription boxes. 🙂 I was the first person posting about them online in 2015 and I’ve come to get to know most/many of the larger companies that provide these boxes. It’s a silly thing to toot my own horn about, but still, it’s one thing I like being known for.Â
Before I get into this box review below, let me tell you a bit about the company Crated With Love. A loooong time ago, they were called Date In a Crate and they were one of the very, very first date night subscription boxes to come out on the scene. I never had a chance to review any of their very early boxes, but some of the early reviews out there was um, not the best (I’m so sorry CWL; I don’t mean to embarrass you! Follow me on this one, I’ve got lots good stuff to say! 🙂 ). Read more…
I’ve tried a lot of these date night boxes, and have reviewed several Crated With Love boxes. They recently made some changes to their subscription plans and digital content and asked if KP and I would do another review for them. Of course I said I would. We needed a date night so badly! Read more…
Hey – I might be about to go into labor (fingers crossed for any day now! …though I’m realistically not due for another week or two, but still…I can hope…), but KP and I still find time for at-home date nights. Crated With Love again to the rescue! And let’s be honest, I highly doubt we’ll be getting out anytime soon after the birth for an out-of-the-house date night. So really – Crated With Love to the rescue! 🙂
April’s Crated With Love box theme was “I Love the 80s!” Read more…
