Having two kids at two very different ages (3 & 13) makes going on dates hard. I decided to make a date jar for Valentines day.

I took Popsicle sticks and painted some light pink (cheap or free date ideas that can be done weekly) and some red (pricier ones that can be done once a month or bi-monthly). I wrote out the ideas on the sticks and placed them all in a mason jar. I seem to have a lot of them.

Walla, instant Valentines Day gift that can be used year round.
