This one was for Dearest’s birthday. He loves the great outdoors, so it seemed the right place to celebrate his birthday together. We had a wonderfully memorable time together, for the cost of an afternoon’s time and some take-out BBQ. Yes, I took the homemade cake and icecream out into the wilderness. The secret to [...]

The Easy Way to Eat In on Valentine’s Day
Posted in Cheap dates on February 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
First off, the way Valentine’s Day works in our house is that it celebrated, planned, and executed by me as a gift to my husband. Some other holidays fall under his domain but Valentine’s Day is not one of them. I hesitate to put this under the “cheap date” category since my actual spending on [...]
Leftover Starbucks tea bag = another drink the next day

The other day, I ordered a tall Vanilla Roobis tea latte at Starbucks. And as I took off the lid to add some more vanilla powder and sugar to my drink, I was struck with the size of the teabag and realized I could totally get at least another drink out of this latte. So [...]

My awesome husband turned 31 the other day and we celebrated with a “scavenger hunt” of sorts—but instead of buying, we were enjoying freebies, courtesy of the many birthday clubs for which I signed him up. (If you want to sign up, I suggest doing it six months in advance just to get your name [...]

When it comes to good dates, you’ve got to have a good person to make it successful. But good lighting doesn’t hurt either. Hence the Christmas lights for this particular date. My husband and I snuggled up on the couch and pretended we were in front of a nice, big fireplace.
