I'M BACK! Woot! Oh Cozy Window Seat, how I've missed you! It's been unbelievably busy with my new position at work and with the family trip that unfortunately I couldn't cozy on up on the window seat and just read a book for days on end. At least, figuratively speaking. Now I'm back home and used to the new routine and I'm ready to go.
Now, I need you're help. I have a confession to make. My hubby and I are movie nuts. That's right ladies and gents, we go to the movies, where they over price popcorn, pop, peanut butter m&m's, never mind the actual movie tickets. If there are three good movies in the theater in the run of a month we will go see each one. That is how we date. I love my hubby but at the same time, dinner and a movie can become monotonous. Don't get me wrong, I still dress up and I still love to spend time with my hubby and yes I do love going to the movies. However, I've found that once we get into a habit, it's hard to think up anything else to do.
Thus, my need for your help. There are many people in the blogging world and many of you, of course, go on dates. So, here is my challenge and plea for help. We need new dating ideas! But here's the catch. My goal is not only to be different with the dates but to also cut back on the amount of money we are spending. Like I said, the price for a movie and dinner is just ridiculous and since we want to eventually have a house, we are looking to save. Also, both my hubby and I have insane schedules, and he only has a week in advanced knowledge of what he works. So these dates need to be flexible and easy to do.
Will you accept my cry for help and challenge? Leave a comment with your date ideas and when we pick one I'll post how it goes :) I thank you in advanced.
Picnic in the park or in your car or in the living room even. Watch a movie in bed while eating supper, just be prepared to wash the sheets the next day. Go to the mall without your wallets and walk around and look at everything without the temptation to buy instead watch what other people are wasting their money on!
ReplyDeleteOne thing you can do is take your dogs to a dog park together for a play date. That way, the dogs get to play, and you get to laugh and enjoy their happiness together with your husband. It's also a great way to meet other dog lovers :) Stopping in from the Blogging It Forward Facebook group :) www.adventuresofnobleandpond.com
ReplyDeleteYour blog design is adorable. I love simple and not too many bells and whistles.
ReplyDeletePinterest has so many great ideas on affordable date nights.
If you are movie goers, pick a movie you haven't seen and set something up in the living room or perhaps, read the book to the movie and compare notes at a local coffee shop.
Perhaps trying new restaurants local to you or trying different foods.
I would still do some research on Pinterest where great ideas are abundant.
