Getting away from the kids for a while is super difficult, but it does wonders for your relationship. Yes, you love your kids, and being away from them is hard, but the quality time with your partner will make your relationship even stronger. And, in the future, your kids will be able to look to you for what a healthy relationship looks like. But, it’s February (yucky weather) and dates aren’t in the budget. What do you do? Fear not! This post by Katie Hale at A Mitten Full Of Savings has a great list of free winter date ideas:
BUILD A BONFIRE: If you live in a rural area, winter is the perfect time of year to gather up some branches and build a bonfire out back. Snuggle together in sleeping bags next to the fire and enjoy the flickering light.
GO CAMPING INDOORS: If you live in an area where the bonfire outside is a bit too cold due to snow and lower temperatures take it indoors and set up camp in your living room in front of the fireplace.
MAKE CANDY: If it is close to the holidays, get in the kitchen together and create your favorite childhood homemade candies.
