Dating is incredibly important in every relationship. My husband and I definitely need to do it more often. So we have been thinking of date ideas that are $10 or less! It's winter now, so some ideas are related to that. Put away your phone and...

4. Make a treat and leave it as a surprise for neighbors
5. Use up the last of gift cards
6. Go to a restaurant...just for dessert!
7. Night in! - who says you have to go somewhere? Dim the lights, light the fire, turn on a comedy, etc.
8. Check out a local farmers market/fair/museum
9. Check out some "how to" books from the library and learn how to do something new together - massages, cooking, etc.
10. Old school video game night
11. Pick a theme - Italian, oldies, comedy, etc - everything during the date must match that theme...and all be under $10!

Oh, hello there! Its been a while and a lot has been going on in my life. I took a break :)

1. We bought a house!
2. We have a baby!

.....Ah snap. So yeah, the penny pinching continues!

I'm back and ready to share a bunch of money saving ideas.

One more...

Final! Next Thursday is it. I cannot wait.

Then, I have a couple of weeks until summer semester starts. Yes, I am taking summer classes. Okay, one single summer class, but only because it's the last class I need to get my associates! Woohoo!

Just thought I'd update you guys about the joys in my life ;)

Me and my big fat typing hands!

I don't have fat hands. Nor are they big... in fact, they're pretty tiny.

That said, I get ahead of myself a lot resulting in typos. I know I know... This is a big "no no" in the blogging world.

I'm working on it. I sometimes catch typos...usually not.

I rush to get posts out to you guys! Sheesh!

If you catch a typo and it bugs you, you can let me know, I won't be offended!

Nobody has said anything so far... But I can see it happening so I thought I'd post something about it before I get my head ripped off. :)


Love to you all! :)
