These days I can blink and its Monday already. Days are flying so quickly and I sometimes forget to hit the pause button for me. My kids have a social calendar that requires post it notes and highlighted dates. Running my business is stressful to say the least. I am lucky enough to sneak in a date night every week or every other week with the hubs. But my girl time- is slacking. I’ve got the 3 items listed that you need for a stress free girls night in!

As women and moms, we often prioritize ourselves last and forget to make that time for us. There is so may things to consider when getting together. Having a girls night at my houses the easiest way to get my girls together and make time for just US. Cue the invitation for Mr. Grey & his 50 Shades. 

The final DVD in the Fifty Shades trilogy is here y’all!  It’s a movie night at my house for a girls night in – No Boys Allowed! Pour the wine, break open the chocolates and begin popping that popcorn.

Mom life is rough and sometimes us girls just need a break. The last thing to stress about is hosting a girls night. My rule for the night is- KEEP IT SIMPLE. Everything from the food, drinks, entertainment and more.

Food: Make it a snack attack, nothing that requires dishes that you later have to clean up. Finger foods that you can walk and talk while holding are super fun and easy. Right now I am all about the keto lifestyle so a cheese board would be perfect for a girls night.

Drinks: Everyone brings a bottle of wine that they prefer. I am a sweet red girl, but I have a few girls that love a good Malbec or Pinot. Although I have a stocked wine fridge, it always helps to ask ahead if anyone wants to bring a bottle that they prefer to drink.

Entertainment: No talk of politics, no talk of kids. Instead keep it simple and watch the story of Christian and Anna unfold. This girls nights we are breaking a rule. We have turned this all girls, no boys allowed night into an invitation for Mr. Grey. Fifty Shades Freed was released in a blu-ray combo pack with exclusive packaging & photo gallery inside (this exclusive DVD is available at Walmart). Always have an entertainment choice picked out in advance. No one wants to come to your house and watch you scroll through Netflix for 2 hours. I do this enough with my husband at least once a week. Choosing something ahead of time, takes out the guess work and keeps it simple. 

So tell me, when’s your next girls night in?
