If you’ve followed along here for awhile you know how important Joe and I think date night is! I shared a post about our date nights a few moths ago — you can read it HERE. Well, as we are nearing the birth of baby #5 (that kinda freaks me out to type that) date nights have become even that more special + important as we know it will be quite awhile before we can go out alone again.

I seem to get all sentimental and emotional (I’m blaming the hormones) that an old phase is about to end and a new one is going to begin. Life the past 9 months have been crazier then ever with Joe’s Cardiac Fellowship starting last July + the new hours that come with that, along with the 3 oldest kids in soccer all at the same time, both girls in dance, Joe traveling for job interviews, having a 17 month old + being pregnant on top of it all.

Date nights have been my saving grace and time to talk about life, let out all my worries + excitements about our new adventures coming up (like moving) + more. Joe has had a love hate with date night in the past because of the “getting dressed” up part. haha. But I’m being serious. Though this last year he has actually gotten better and stepped out of his normal tee shirt + shorts and flipflop style. It’s only taken 13 years but I thinks he’s finally come around to the idea that button ups + jeans aren’t too bad. Especially, since we will be moving to colder weather next year. (can’t wait to share with you all where we’re moving)

I made a huge Nordstrom order last week for our entire family, since the littles have all grown out of their winter clothes + Joe needed some updated items as well. And you know I grabbed baby girl some outfits and myself a few things for after baby comes. I didn’t want any stress of returning items that don’t fit – but with free returns with Nordstrom there’s no stress!!

Also, I rounded up a bunch of my favorites jeans + sneakers below if your looking for any last minute gifts for the men in your life. Some items can still arrive on Christmas Eve if you order today. Hope your all ready for Christmas – because I’m not — so please send help!
