I can’t wait for summer. In the meantime, we keep running around with our school hectic routines. Most nights that means that there is no time for cooking. After tons of homework, soccer practice or anything else, I just need a good place to sit everyone down to a family meal. Perfect solution? The Joy of A School Night Family Date Night!

I think of Monday’s and I am already exhausted. By the time Tuesday comes around, I wish teachers would have some mercy and not send any more homework….ever. On Wednesdays, I have lost control of time. The mad dash is ridiculous and I need all my cool and chill back. So these days, I am looking forward to our new tradition: school night family date night.
The Joy of A School Night Family Date Night
Maybe you will love the idea of having a new tradition at home – school Night Family Date Night. Here is why we love ours:
No cooking
It is a requirement to make sure I am not frazzled thinking menu, actually spending time in the kitchen and then cleaning up. I eliminate all of these. This makes me smile towards the end of the week when I am really tired.
A different way to connect
Sitting down to eat together outside our dining room brings in other elements into play. New topics of conversation, pointing out things that stand out both are examples of different ways in which you can connect or reconnect with your family when you are out dining.
Eating a la carte, something for everyone
When everyone gets to choose their own meal, it makes it easier for everyone to enjoy their dishes. It makes for a smooth eating process at the table!
Fun activities
While you wait for your meal awesome restaurants has fun activities to do together. Applebees, for example, has a tablet that is full of games and trivia contests that will generate plenty of smiles.
Fast, delicious and easy
I don’t have to risk my meal preparations getting burnt, or tasting good. Going to a restaurant you love is a sure way to a delicious meal that is served quickly!
Visit Your Neighbourhood Applebees!
Applebees does cover all of the reasons why we love going out for dinner on a school night. In addition to that, you get something new to discover when you go to in your neighborhood restaurant. This time around we tried the new Bigger, Bolder Grilled combos menu. The dishes were generous, and we loved not having to settle on one item.
We told you about the tablet at every table. We loved it to order extra items without having to flag down the waiter. Also, we kept a good eye on our bill.
The icing on the cake to our visit was a tie between the yummy cookie ice cream mountain and learning that our Applebees supports local schools and teams! We loved seeing the smiling faces decorating the restaurant’s walls!
It is time to visit your neighbourhood Applebees! On Sunday, May 13th wine bottles are half priced!!

Like the variety of foods at neighborhood restaurants. Fun activities for kids to do.
I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the local people you get to meet. It’s nice going to a familiar restaurant and you know what you want and they treat you good.
I love all the options available on the menu and that the place is family friendly but also good for girls night out and just a dinner date with the husband. The drinks are grat too
We have few restaurants here in the country. However, when we travel to the city Applebees is one of our favorites.
I love that there’s variety in terms of menu selections and that the staff is friendly and welcoming. Also, great drink prices!
