Let's Get Crafty

 Build Together...

Through Clay!


What Does This Mean?

    Building something together can either be an at-home, DIY project or going to a business that sells builds that you can paint and chat. I mean, building is what got you a relationship right? We all have to build upon our relationship to keep the foundation tough and the pillars strong, and this is done through many ways like acts of service, dates, and other ways. The point is, that you are here together having fun while enjoying and inspiring what the other creates, and in the end, you get to have a physical reminder of the date that you can put in a safe spot to reflect on while relishing in a fond memory!


What Did I Do?

    Kandace and I decided that it would be fun to go out and support some local businesses and chose a place out in Overland Park called Paint Glaze and Fire. Here, you can find many different-shaped pottery. From Harry Potter-themed trains to little gnomes, they have a wide range of selections. The best part, while this may be in a cafe-like setting, everyone is in their own bubble, so you don't even notice the people around you! When we arrived, I thought I was going to suck at this, so I picked an easy one to do, a cactus. In hindsight, it's not about trying to be good and making a masterpiece, but it's about having a genuine conversation with your partner and enjoying a fun activity together! While we were here, we got to learn more about how we thought in a creative process and have an enjoyable conversation about how we would design and create our own homes, from the colors to the layout. In the end, we left feeling satisfied with our creation and content with a new memory that and physical piece to remember it by!


Overall

    This was a great place to have a date as it not only was good to support a small business, but it was a fun, memorable experience that anyone can do! It doesn't matter if you can paint to Mona Lisa or only do stick figures, this is a place catered to everyone! I give this a 9, just because it is a bit more on the expensive side but definitely well worth it!

I also made my little cactus into a pot and put a plant into it!

 Surfs Up! Enjoy Each Other's Hobbies     Being able to enjoy each other's hobbies is crucial when it comes to having a long-lasting relationship. This isn't to say you have to love absolutely everything that your partner does, but you need to at least be able to love some of the stuff your partner does. While people say opposites attract, this isn't always true. You need something in common at the minimum, but it is good to open your partner up to new experiences/hobbies. A new hobby that you introduce your partner to is a great date as this can be a fun and new experience for both of you!  What Did I Do?     Kandace and I recently traveled down to Florida together and I got the chance to show her how to surf! I have been surfing for over two years now and always thought it was fun, but it was missing an element; a partner! While I've talked to others while surfing and it's been a great way to meet new people, there's something special about showing your p...

Get Competitive! Wanna break a sweat while making a memory? Let's play Pickleball!         The History           While pickleball has been around since 1965, it's made a major impact on the sports community and industry in the last few years. This comes as many restaurants have started to  pop up where they include bar food and live sports, while also including the opportunity to play pickleball. This sport has started to dominate the sports space as it became named the fastest-growing sport back in 2022 with nearly a 30 percent increase in viewership. My Experience and Prices To start, my girlfriend's family and I went to a place here locally called Serv. It's a welcoming place for beginners as well as experts if this is your kind of thing.  You get a paddle and a whiffle ball to play and is similar to how tennis is played. One end of the court serves the ball and the other receives, when serving, the ball must hit d...
