Having an 8 month old darling little boy and no babysitter in sight, my husband and I decided to create a homemade dinner and movie date, all within ear shot of the little fellow's room and all outdoors, making the most of the glorious weather and beautiful sky. I hope there is a little something inspiring in here for you when deciding how to spoil your loved one.
Dinner included a few of our favourites:
* Assorted cheeses with cabanossi and crackers
* Salmon and creme fraiche blinis
* Prawn and boconcini pizza hearts
For Dessert we had three options:
* Love Nests (pavlova with cream and strawberries and hugs and kisses lollies on the side)
* Layers of Love (triple layer cake)
* Homemade chocolate chip ice cream with mix ins
Nearby to our table was a photo board with a few snaps of some of the year's big events and a vintage suitcase full of memories we have collected over the years to reminisce on. As gifts, we both filled a small red LOVE box with a few special things for each other (the contents of which will remain our little secret!).
As dusk arrived, we ventured over to watch a few of our favourite classic movies beneath the stars in our very own outdoor cinema.
I hope you are planning something grand for your loved/lusted one and if you're not... there's still time! xx
