the perfect diy date

July 5, 2018 By Noelle 240 Comments

I’ve teamed up with Stella Artois to share how I’m savoring the summer in today’s post that I’m so excited to share!

 

Every summer I make a list of all of the things I’m going to do and after the passing of each summer I realize I didn’t get to accomplish nearly as much as I wanted. The older I get I realize you just have to go for it and enjoy what you can- and make it a priority to do it next summer if you never got a chance to! The only way those summer dreams come true is if you savor the summer and MAKE IT HAPPEN! For me one of those things was spending more time on the balcony with Danny either enjoying dinner or just a drink.. And we did it so few times last summer I remember regretting it. So this summer I’ve decided to savor the summer to the fullest and that means taking FULL advantage of our balcony!

 

Danny was on his way home so I decided to surprise him by set up a delish charcuterie board filled with my favorite cheese, baguette, and pickles on this rustic and so cute wooden Stella Artois board! I poured our favorite Stella Artois beer into these pretty chalices and turned on our twinkily lights that are out on our balcony! I even pulled out these sparklers I bought recently to light and be silly kids again with. It was so much fun surprising him and setting up a little date at home for us! I don’t do these little things enough and it felt so good to savor the moment with him! If you’ve been looking for some way to surprise your partner and help them slow down and savor the simple pleasures be sure to borrow this date idea because it was a summer moment that was so simple, but I’ll never forget.

 

If there’s been something you’ve always wanted to do summer after summer and never gotten to: embrace the summer and go for it!
