On A Budget::Date Night And...A Giveaway!

I thought that living on a budget would cramp my style. And truthfully, there was some cramping and some things got squeezed out altogether. But we held on tight to Date Nights because of what they contribute to our marriage.

Some of my favorite dates with H include bike rides into downtown to wander around the Farmer's Market, or an evening at the local coffee shop with a good book and a cup of tea. And from time to time the company I work for gives us free tickets to watch our local baseball team.

Yesterday you left some great comments about your favorite Date Nights. As I was reading them, I realized that not one of your ideas require lots of money and most of them are free! While time may be an issue for some, money doesn't have to be. If you missed it, go here and read the comments for some wonderfully inexpensive romantic ideas.

To thank you for your ideas, I'm giving away a free copy of Simply Romantic Dates On A Dime. You'll have it in time for Valentine's Day! Just leave a comment on today's post for your chance to win. Please be sure you include your email address so that I can contact you. Mention this giveaway on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter, come back here and let me know, and you'll get another entry. You can enter right up until midnight on Saturday (Central Time), and I'll post the winner early Sunday morning.

And while we're talking about hot dates with your mate, let me remind you about the Weekend To Remember. The two-for-one offer has ended, but you can still save $80 per couple if you register here.

Wow! I hope you can keep up with all the links in this post! Now...go and be romantic!
