Now that we are a married couple we are boring. Just kidding! We have always been boring. No, I'm really just kidding. We aren't boring at all we are just simple and laid back and we like to stay in and relax most nights. That doesn't mean it's boring because trust me we definitely have fun. So today I figured I'd put together a post on how to have a perfectly simple night in and really enjoy it.
Choose An Activity
You may not have a ton of choices but I normally choose between a game night or a movie. Pick your activity and clear your schedules. Let friends know that you aren't available that night!
Limit Phone Usage
If you really want to enjoy a night in, get rid of distractions! That means put away your laptop and tablet and mute your phones! I actually put mine in the bedroom on the charger so I can't even check it.
Get Your Drink of Choice
Whether it's beer, mocktails, or wine, make sure you stock up on whatever you'd like to indulge in. For me, it's a simple glass of wine and for James it's a simple bottle or 2 of beer.
Choose Delicious Foods
So this is my favorite part of the night. You can indulge in whatever you like but I love making my own little cheese and cracked board!

This part is so easy because really all you need are some good cheese and cracker options.
My favorite crackers these days are Jarlsberg Cheese Crisps! I like to make little cheese and cracker sandwiches but these are also so delicious to have on their own. In fact they come in different delicious flavors.
As for cheese, I love the Jarlsberg Cheese Snacks and the cheese block. It has a nice nutty flavor and their cheeses are naturally lactose and gluten free which means James can definitely enjoy them!
And the best part is you can munch away without any judgement because it's you and your house. And if your spouse is there they can do the same.
This is the perfect idea for staying in on super chilly nights or even once the winter hits and it snows.
And if you are like me and you have 4 dogs - you want them out of your hair so make sure you keep them entertained. I always toss them a treat or two. Purina Pro Plan Tender Strips from Chewy are perfect because they have a soft texture so it's easy on the tiny teeth my dogs have and they love the lamb flavor! When I want to give them a smaller amount I just tear the treat into bits but honestly, they will take their time consuming this if I give them the whole thing so it keeps them out of my hair! They are really easy for them to digest as well so I can enjoy my night in without having to worry about upset dog tummies!
