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.

The economy is still limping along like an weakened zombie, which means that we all need to be creative with our date nights. By “creative”, I mean “inexpensive” and also, “fun.” Auntie Becky had a great post on Cafe Mom about 10 Awesome Date Ideas That Won’t Make You Go Broke. Yes, yes, and yes! (Add seven more “yeses” for the other seven suggestions.)
I have a few more to add.
- Go skiing! OK, skiing isn’t cheap, but we just cashed in Air Miles to get five lift tickets each. True story.
- Trade babysitting nights with good friends/family. Babysitting costs are HUGE. Taking a friends’ kids one night, and them reciprocating another night, helps a lot.
- Take in free “touristy” events. Where we live there are a number of festivals with no admission charge. Go, enjoy the entertainment, and eat some mini donuts for the cause.
Do you guys have any fun, yet inexpensive, date night ideas?
