We don't do date...This is a beautiful picture!<br /><br />We don't do date nights. We have a nearly 5-year-old, a just-3-year-old, and a nearly 1-yr-old. We have always made our evenings together a priority to be quality time, and our marriage has done just fine! We also do not have family close, and can't afford weekly baby-sitters. However, as our oldest approaches 5, and I can tell that bedtimes are going to get later as he gets older. Once that happens, we might have to instate weekly date nights. Until then, here's to being home-bodies!Marianne Elixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394688588187240026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-66888923936945722292010-07-12T20:28:10.239-07:002010-07-12T20:28:10.239-07:00Haha, 'butt expensive.'

Mostly we just stay home, talk, eat cheese, open a specially rationed bottle of wine. <br /><br />As for distractions, we don't have a TV, and it does give us "more" time - not just to spend with each other, but to work on our own projects too. TV sponges up time before you even notice it's gone. I heartily endorse trying a TV-less household. See what happens - maybe nothing, maybe something great.Billi London-Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246140888366869367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-10263661236006036362010-07-12T16:16:12.824-07:002010-07-12T16:16:12.824-07:00We don't have any kids, but we DEFINITELY have...We don't have any kids, but we DEFINITELY have distractions. Finding time to talk and connect isn't always easy and of course $$ is a factor. Sooooo, our "date nights" are often cooking together at home...if it's gotta be done, we may as well do it together. <br /><br />Also, your necklace is really, really cool and I'm loving your sandals.Molly Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140964889110189585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-25632686670867992282010-07-12T13:06:47.062-07:002010-07-12T13:06:47.062-07:00I'm so glad you're participating in fashio...I'm so glad you're participating in fashion week again! I loved your spring outfits... you're terribly cute, no matter what you might have to say about it.<br /><br />Date nights? Well, for the year Jordan and I weren't in a long-distance relationship, we made it a point to have a date night every week. That might seem silly - to have a date night when you're dating - but we were both in school, and it was important to get away from things. Now that we're married, we feel less pressure to have date nights... we actually make sure we have a "hang with friends" night, so it isn't always just the two of us! I'm sure that will change in years to come though.<br /><br />Oh yeah, also, when we did have date nights, we rarely spent money on the dates. Our favorite date night was paging through books at Barnes and Noble. It's fun to get creative - make date nights a $5.00 or less deal!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148297814666688033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-54670034060059223322010-07-12T11:56:42.318-07:002010-07-12T11:56:42.318-07:00This outfit says "summer" to me. So love...This outfit says "summer" to me. So lovely.<br /><br />As for Date Night, my husband and I do a lot of "at home" dates - wine, movie, couch, easy. We also make time to just talk and reconnect every evening. As much as I'd love to be able to go out on a regular basis, I think our daily "check in" does more for our marriage than, say, a regularly scheduled Date Night would.NOELLE ALOUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084772004964983968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-25095289143681518602010-07-12T11:08:35.902-07:002010-07-12T11:08:35.902-07:00yes! down with distractions!! we go out when we ...yes! down with distractions!! we go out when we can, but have never felt any pressure to make date nights happen "just because". Often a bottle of wine and some music on the record player is better than any 'going out' anyways!<br /><br />Oh and PS. I love your sandals!<br /><br />:)Emery Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269921971808302592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-40376280161863301802010-07-12T09:24:38.092-07:002010-07-12T09:24:38.092-07:00I love your dress.

You look awesome.<br /><br />Date Night...hubby and I used to be really good a date night, until we had a baby. I think our last date night out (alone) was last summer to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.<br /><br />Now, we are really good at reading to each other every night or making sure we have 20 minutes or so to just talk (really talk) to one another.<br /><br />I agree with you, it's totally what you make of the time you have together and all about getting rid of the distractions.Kallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640950314956434710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241426062736770094.post-2441857396762969442010-07-12T08:46:44.874-07:002010-07-12T08:46:44.874-07:00lovely beach outfit.lovely beach outfit.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624349621537848131noreply@blogger.com
