Date night...in

I have young children with really early schedules, so it is hard for my hubby and I to get a sitter and go out.

Last night I made the kids' dinner separate, got them ready and in bed.

Then I put my heels on and cooked dinner for my hubby.  I used the nice dishes, serve the meal in separate course.  We got to have a healthy, cheap, candle lit, restaurant style dinner, in our own home.  We spent about $6 on our date night, and that includes the children's meals.

Instead of paying $20 to go to the theater to see a new movie,  we snuggled up and watched an older movie.

It is always nice to have make-up on, hair done, and dressed nicely for a date night in.  This is simply to make your man feel special.  By you going through all the work to look nice, "just to stay home", tells your man that he is worth the extra time and effort, no matter where you are.

I also like to change into outfits that I know my hubby likes, this shows him that I pay attention to his interests and opinions.

If you are a little braver, you can try cooking in lingerie or in nothing more than a sexy pair of heels!!
