This is NOT a sponsored post. I bought The Adventure Challenge with my own money.
Welcome to date number three! It has been a while since the last date, and I’m hoping that Keegan and I can try out these dates more regularly! If you are unfamiliar with The Adventure Challenge, please check out my first post about it here where I explain the book in depth. Let’s jump into it!
(The following is technically a spoiler of what the date is, but each date can be uniquely special for you and your partner!)
HOW IT WENT DOWN
This time around we decided to stick with our usual method of picking a date–we choose one that allows us to stay home! For our third date, Keegan and I scratched off “The Wonder Years.” These were the rules: pick some of your favorite childhood shows and watch them while eating your favorite childhood snacks. Simple, yet seriously fun!
Having been together for nearly three years, we’ve definitely discussed our childhoods with one another, but I realized that we haven’t really talked about our favorite childhood shows, let alone shown them to each other.
Keegan has never seen anything on the Disney Channel. I know, crazy right?! So, I only picked Disney shows I loved, as he had already seen several Nickelodeon shows. I chose The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Kim Possible, and Even Stevens. I want to do this again so I can show him more of my favorites like Phil of the Future, That’s So Raven, and many others.
Keegan told me that he grew up loving the show House. I’ve seen it a few times, but I never would’ve guessed that it was one of his favorite shows when he was younger. We had so much fun watching these shows and feeling nostalgic. I’d love to do a version where we just watch cartoons–lots of Tom & Jerry and SpongeBob. Or a Nick@Nite version!
As for childhood snacks, we went with salt & vinegar chips and popcorn! Some snacks that I used to love were Cosmic Brownies, Goldfish, Nilla Wafers, and Nutty Buddies. Maybe we can try to veganize some of those snacks to enjoy them now!
This was such a cute date idea and an easy way to learn even more about each other! What were some of your favorite shows and snacks growing up? Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask me anything in the comments below, and please let me know if you have tried this date too!
