Alphabet Date Night – X to Z

Alphabet Date Night – X to Z

January 12, 2021
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

We have arrived at the final letters of the alphabet, and therefore, the final alphabet date nights/days! I’m sure I’ll do this again at some point, or change it up – Alphabet Family Fun Days?! X and Y took place in Calgary, and Z took place in New York, which is fitting with the journey these alphabet dates have taken between YYC and NYC, between Pre-Covid and during Covid, between Pre-Pregnancy and Post-Baby! If you haven’t read the other date ideas yet, feel free to head back and read about A to D, E to H, I to L, M to P, Q to T, and U to W.

A Reminder of How Alphabet Date Night Works:

  1. We schedule in date night.
  2. When it’s my turn to plan, I figure out which letter of the alphabet I’m on. Date 1 starts with A, Date 2 Starts with B, etc.
  3. I plan 1-3 activities that all start with that letter. It usually ends up being 2 activities – one that’s physical and one that’s food related.
  4. We go enjoy the date!!

“X” Date Night

X was one of the hardest letters, so I felt I could use that as an eXcuse, and make whatever I wanted for dinner, which ended up being chicken fajitas. Then, we got some eXercise, and eXplored Calgary, but walking to XO Ice Cream. I’d say we did pretty good for that tricky letter, wouldn’t you?! X date night was eXercise & eXplore & XO Ice Cream!

More X Ideas:

Activities: X Marks The Spot (Treasure Hunt). X-Ray. X-Ray Pajamas. X-Country Skiing. X-Files. X-Rated. X-Games. eXhibit. Xbox. X (10) Pin Bowling. XMen. eXtreme Sport. Xylophone.
Food: eXtra Dessert. Xiao Long Bao Soup Dumplings. Xmas Cookies. Xavier Soup. Xavier Steak. Xnipec Salsa.
Beverages: Xero Vodka. Xingu Lager.

“Y” Date Night

Y date day was at home where lunch was Yam Taco Bowls – we used Sweet Potato (I’m calling that Yam) Tater Tots…so good! And then we loaded up Yoga with Adriene on YouTube and got our Yoga Stretch in, while our little mini climbed all around us/over us. Y date day was Yam Taco Bowls & YoutTube & Yoga!

More Y Ideas:

Activities: Yahtzee. Yodelling. Yachting. Yoga. [Watch] Yoda. Yurt. Yo-Yo. Yardzee. [Find] Yellow Things. Yard Work. Yogi Bear Movies. [Play] Yoshi. YYC Scavenger Hunt. Yes Day. Yuletide.
Food: Yogurt. [Frozen] Yogurt. Yellow Food. Yummy Food. Yorkshire Pudding. Yam Fries. Yams. Yule Log. Yiros. Yakisoba.
Beverages: Yetis.
Specific Location: Yakisoba. Yann Haute Patisserie. Yani’s Greek Food. YMCA.

“Z” Date Night

Our final alphabet date night – we made it to Z! It was right after Christmas, so it was the perfect time to take in some Christmas lights. We bundled up and went to the Bronx Zoo, and enjoyed the sights. I also made homemade Chocolate Zucchini Cakes in the Brownie Pan, of course, and that was the date that kept on giving, as we got to eat them for days beyond Z date!!…Z date night was Zoo Lights & Zucchini Chocolate Cakes!

More Z Ideas:

Activities: Zoo. Zoo Lights. Zumba. Zamboni Rides. Zzz’s. Zero Gravity. Zipline. Zoolander Movie.
Food: Zucchini. Zucchini Boats. Zucchini Pasta. Zucchini Brownies. Zucchini Pizzas. Zucchini Fries. Zest. Ziti.
Beverages: Zesty Lime Mocktails. Zinfandel.

Thanks for following along with our Alphabet Date Night! I can’t wait to continue seeing what you do with your alphabet date nights – thanks for tagging and sharing with me on Instagram!

I wish everyone in the world had my parents as the I wish everyone in the world had my parents as their parents. 

Last night not only did they play with Collins while I worked, but they made dinner, did all the dishes, did laundry, ran a bath, and loved us fiercely. Getting this time in Calgary with them is always so precious, but last night I was in tears at their love and support. 

Honestly, I say it every time, but I won the parent lottery 😭
My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the worl My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the world!!

As of yesterday, the full course is released, and this wave of relief just washed over me!! The amount of time, energy, and resources that goes into these courses is more than I would have ever known, but I’m so happy, and grateful to have them available to people for a lifetime, and also to have a way to continue to offer music to many more people, in many more homes, for unlimited time!!

Tomorrow I’ll release a blog that will answer all the top questions I’ve been asked about my Preschool Music eCourse and my Beginner Piano eCourse, so you can see if they are a fit for you or anyone you know!!

But now, tell me a goal you’re dreaming up - work-related or not!!

I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it with these five fun photos!

1. I didn’t like anything grapefruit before I had Collins, and now I’m always like, “Give me all the grapefruit sparkling water!”

2. I’ve always had multiple jobs from the time I was a teenager…I sum it up to me thinking that variety is the spice of life. 

3. I believe ketchup and mustard belong on breakfast egg sandwiches. 

4. If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a mom!” I still think it’s the greatest gift in the whole entire world. 

5. Even though I said variety is the spice of life, I am wildly good with repetition for an incredible amount of time…the same food, the same song, the same walk…I don’t know if it’s patience or just insanity, but I don’t get sick of the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. 

Give me a fun fact about you!!
