Parenting Pointers: $10 Great Dates

Disclosure: I received a complimentary e-book from Chosen Books to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

Date time is very important for couples. It's really helpful to get away from the normal routine and connect. But it can also be challenging to afford a date plus baby-sitting. So I'd like to share some ideas from $10 Great Dates: Connecting Love, Marriage, and Fun on a Budget.

- Write your bucket lists together
- Take a hike
- Follow a seldom-used road you've never been on before
- Go to the store with a budget of $5 each to buy a gift for each other

They also have tips for saving on childcare during your date.

- Swap with other families
- "Adopt" grandparents
- Use nearby family members

The book has many more ideas for dates, all of which can be done for $10 or less. Besides just the ideas, the book includes reasons why each date can help strengthen your relationship, as well as discussion questions to help spark a conversation. It's easy to read, and easy to use to add a little variety into your date night destinations without breaking the bank!
