In honor of Valentines quickly approaching, I decided I would feature this new blog I found that has fun and inexpensive date ideas for you and your hunny.
As a newly wed myself, I am a firm believer in date nights. It is easy for me to see how the obligations of life can quickly make you forget about a fun part of a relationship, the romance! Taking time in your week to stop and refocus your relationship does not have to be the same cookie cutter ‘dinner and a movie’ (don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a time for just dinner and a movie) but who says that dinner can’t be a picnic in the park and the movie watched on a laptop? This site is great at giving some really creative and many expensive and DIY date ideas. Here a few of my favorites.
I found this years Valentine’s Day ideas from this site, I will post pictures later! Let me know what you think or what ideas you love!
