Chocolate, rose petals and vino. Candlelight, blindfolds and tape… what do these all have in common? Ha, sounds kinky I know, but wait. No, I am not quoting Fifty Shades of Grey! These items are the makings of a fabulous Night In, for Mommy and Daddy, made possible by the company Night in Boxes!

Yes, it’s a thing. I never knew what it was until I was deep in the trenches of motherhood. Try leaving the house with a baby, toddler or youngster; it can be a challenge to leave prepare.
