Here are a few ideas.
1. Throwback Date. Pull out old photo albums from when you were first together. Enjoy pix from when you were dating or first married. (If you still have kids at home, they love looking at the old photos and laughing at your stylish hair and clothes.)
2. Make homemade ice-cream. We received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift and have replaced it a few times. Ice cream makers don't create much, but it's a perfect amount for two. Enjoy the sweet treat and maybe save some whipped topping for later.
3. Take a virtual tour. Many museums offer virtual tours. Travel & Leisure put together a list of 12 museums around the world offering amazing tours. CLICK HERE
4. Get a little silly and play a childhood favorite card game. How long has it been since you played Go Fish, Crazy Eights, or Uno? Reminisce and share stories from when you were kids.
5. Watch The Princess Bride. I heard your eyeroll. Trust me, it'll be fun.
6. Create a fantasy music festival. Imagine if you could pick and choose who would perform and what song they'd sing. Sit down and create a playlist together.
7. Pretend the electricity goes out. Turn everything off for the evening (except for heat if you're in the north) Build a fire in the fireplace, make smores. (FYI you can make smores on your gas stove). Build a fort with pillows and blankets. Savor the candlelight.
8. Continuing the them of "No electricity", shower or take a bath together with the lights out. Have plenty of candles handy. (Battery operated flicking candles are great too!)
9. Build a bonfire. This might be outside, but it's still in your yard. Even in snow covered north, we'll snuggle next to a fire - under blankets with coats, mittens and hat of course.
10. Have a spa night. Give each other massages. A simple massage can relieve headaches, minor pain as well as help you connect intimately with each other. Do facials. (My sons do them with their ladies.) Put on your robes and relax to soothing sounds with cucumber slices on your eyes.
11. Spend time together in the kitchen. Try something new or prepare your favorite comfort food. Try a home delivery meal kit.
12. Make a "To-Done" list. Think of all the things you have done together since you met.
13. Last but not least...have some "sexy time". Shop online together for something sexy. Play a sexy game. Do something different or have sex in an unusual spot in your house.

As I came for a return visit you had me at: I write sensual, erotic romance with an artistic mind. Wow, yeah, bring it on! *winks* Great suggestions, I'm actually enjoying the amount of Down Time I wouldn't necessarily take the time to have at Home were it not for Lockdown Extended Stay forcing me to slow down, pause, be Still. It has given more time for reflection than I've probably had in Years, which is a good thing despite all of the obvious challenges and chaos outside of these walls of the Sanctuary of our Homes.
As always, an intriguing list.
I finally got him to play Scrabble. Our electricity really did to out. I like the To Done list idea.
