Source: favfamilyrecipes.com via Vanessa on Pinterest I’ve been on a hunt to find something different and inexpensive to do this weekend since we’re budgeting and trying to keep my birthday weekend low-key. There are some pretty cool ideas in this one. I like the idea of the 20 questions dinner. The concept is [...]
Goal: Stick to going out for date night at least once per month Problem: Two tuitions, braces, mortgage, car payments, (insert other grown up stuff to pay for) that makes going out with any level or regularity a problem. (The other problem is childcare, but that post is for another day) How are we addressing [...]
Image credit: albund / 123RF Stock Photo In case you didn’t already know, date night is important. Unfortunately, when you’re busy with work, kids, events and everything else that seems to go along with being alive, date night can too often get pushed to the back burner. Today’s challenge is to look at your calendar [...]
I thought it would be nice for S and I to have an at-home date night since our youngest was home and we couldn’t go out. In the mood for seafood, I initially decided on getting carryout from Bonefish but in my new effort to cut back on the amount of money that I’m spending [...]

This basket holds 12 envelopes. Each labeled with a month of the year. And each envelope contains a pre-planned, (mostly) pre-paid date just for us. [...]
So I’ve been at this blog thing for almost a year now (can’t believe it) and I’m still hearing it, over and over again: What do we do when we don’t have money to go out or we can’t pay for a babysitter? Never mind the e-course that addresses just that, or my list of [...]
Try looking up great date night movies and I bet most of what you come up with are chick flicks, which, if your date night has a man involved, in my mind don’t really qualify as great date night movies. Unlike Hope Floats, which I watch every time it comes on, or the Terminator movies–which [...]
It’s Spring! We didn’t have much of a winter here in Maryland, but now that the days are longer, the trees and flowers are in bloom, and I have a nice supply of Zyrtec and bee pollen, I want to be outdoors. Although I’m a winter baby and a cold-weather lover, the warmer months make [...]
