Green Thumbed Baby
Sometimes, it’s not about spending a lot of money or doing anything that seems exciting.
Sometimes, it’s just about spending time together.
So, a trip to Dollar Tree for some seeds, a planter, and some soil made last Saturday a little more special.
It’s the little things.
What’s your favorite cheap date?

People watching at any mall and ice cream.
People like you probably watch people like me!
Thanks for watering my plant while I’ve been gone!
You’re welcome.
In the summer we like to go to Kollen Park in Holland and watch the people, boats, and the water.
I can’t wait for it to get warm again!
We also go to the farmer’s market together every Saturday. Not exactly cheap, but we need the food anyway so may as well do it together. (And then I have somebody to carry the bags!)
haha… Yep. The truth comes out at the end there.
My pastor once said men are good for two things; killing spiders and lifting things. True story!
haha… that’s funny. Actually, that’s just 2 of the many!
Okay, this spends some money – but my wife and I like to get out of the house together. The local Japanese restaurant is not cheap and usually when we go it’s a special occasion and we do the full hibachi thing. The kids love it for their birthday celebrations.
We don’t care for sushi, but my wife discovered that the sushi bar in the back of the restaurant also serves ala carte items from their menu – without the hibachi chef show! It’s cheaper and the restaurant knows when we come in there that we’re on a date night. They’ve been great to let us sit there and talk.
Very cool. Sushi sounds good about now!
For us, a good cheap date starts with a frozen meal and early bedtime for the kids. Then, we cook a special dinner together and eat it while watching a movie on the couch.
Sounds good!
For my husband and I it’s a trip for coffee and a piece of pie. Electronic gadgets in pockets or purses and REAL conversation. No interruptions or distractions, a full cup of java and peace between us. Priceless…but cheap!
full cup of peace… like it! Thanks Pam!
We love to go read at Starbucks.
That sounds great!
I really need to get better at the cheap date idea thing. With 2 kids the babysitter fee is always a factor.
ewww… yeah. I bet!
haha! That’s good!…
Frozen yogurt (take your pick) and convo. Best. Ever.
There ya go!
love it!! Jodie and I love going to SafeWay and grocery shopping together. ridiculous!!?!
Man. Y’all are crazy!
I dig the simplicity of this.
People watching at mall (but has to be during Christmas time).
Redbox (with a free coupon code of course).
Going for a walk.
Haha. Love that you get a coupon for a $1 movie rental! Perfect!
starbucks. all the way. for $4.70 my hubs and i can talk and talk and talk over our favorite beverages. of course, if we do this every day it isn’t that cheap :/
and often times…our kiddos are involved. ohdang. i think i need to come up with a cheaper alternative.
Haha. It sounded cheap at first…
ha! it is when i look at it as a one day event.
mmm…sweet justification.
:/
Plus, it’s family time. Who can argue with that and tell you different?!
that’s right!!
keep the justification rolling in…
