Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.

My friend Heidi shared a post in Google Reader titled, “52 Cheap Date Ideas.” Since my husband and I going on a MONTH since our last date night, thanks to a revolving door of viruses/sick kids, my interest was piqued. We’re going out tomorrow night for sushi (YAY!) but as the weather gets nicer and the chances of having kids on antibiotics gets smaller, I’m hoping to get back to our bi-weekly schedule of date nights and breaking out of the Costco/out for dinner rut that we tend to get into.
I’m definitely up for a wine tour or even going to play mini golf.
Do you guys have any fun date night ideas that you want to share?

We don’t have date nights as often as you guys, but we try to mix it up and do some different stuff. One thing we both enjoy is going to a bookshop with a cafe, and browsing around together, flicking through magazines and listening to CDs. Other things we do every so often, instead of (or as well as) the usual dinner out … ten pin bowling, mini golf, luging, hot pools, sports matches, shopping (rarely), movies, picnics, swimming & snorkelling (this is a fave!), concerts, etc. Sometimes we sacrifice date night in favour of doing something with our friends (because babysitters are precious). We’ve got a poker night coming up next Saturday, for example. Although it’s not just the 2 of us, it still feels a little like a date night as we get to dress up and talk without kids around and USUALLY the boys sleep over at my parents’ place, so, yeah. We get to stay out late, and sleep in the next day, and “stuff”

Wine in front of the fireplace usually does it for us!
