Ten Things we Learned from a Year of $20 Dates

We've made a lot of mistakes in our attempt to do a weekly $20 date. Find out how you can benefit from them.

A year ago, date night was not on the calendar.

Since then, it's been a whirlwind in the midst of kids and jobs and life. Still, we feel like we've barely tapped the surface of where we want to go with this blog and our date nights.


I can't believe it's been one year already since we started going on our $20 dates. Since then, we've met all kinds of fun people, online and in person. We were even featured on the radio and TV.


I love it when couples approach us and say "We're reading your blog, and we're excited to start going on twenty-dollar dates too."


Knowing others are on the journey with us makes it even more fun! (and, now we can't make excuses anymore)


As we celebrate our first blogaversery, I spent some time reflecting on what we've learned from this journey.
