The Tightwad

Wow, it is hard to believe it is Valentine’s Day.  This year many people do not have a lot of money to spend on this day and even if you have the money to go out, you may not have the extra money to hire a babysitter.  So how can you make Valentine’s Day special at home without spending a lot of money?   Fix a simple meal for the children earlier in the evening and then get the children settled watching a movie or something.  Have a candle light meal with your spouse, using the good china and silver if you have them.  Don’t worry about major clean up until the next day, only rinse things off.  Then after your children are in bed, sit down with your spouse and watch a romantic movie while snuggling.
