Two things: standing date night is an excellent idea, and the days we don't plan ahead are also always our worst. (Who is that spontaneous young woman I was back before kids? Sorry, don't know her.)
I did this for a stretch from the fall to early spring and agreed it was wonderful. So much easier to plan what to do with the night than find something fun _then_ try to secure an available sitter. On the nights we didn’t figure anything out we just played tennis together in the park and then ate a casual dinner after. The sitter we were using then moved away so we got out of the habit but I hope to bring it back this summer!

We did a care.com account for one month and really lucked out with our sitter!
My husband picked up tennis last year, and since seeing Challengers, I want to learn the basics!
