We try to keep ours super cheap, but occasionally we splurge (usually we will use a gift card or a groupon for a good deal)!

Also, if you have any awesome date night suggestions or want to write a guest post about one of your favorites, please let us know in the comments!

Date Afternoon in the Park

I was wondering how often you all go on date nights?  I plan to ask a series of questions about date nights, so be prepared for more polls about this!

Anything to add to your poll answer?  Leave it in the comments!

Check out what you all drink in the am!

I have also created a pie chart  for the Easter treats poll (which is also still open).  So far, 21 of you have voted for multiple treats!  In case you were wondering, the other option had votes for Reese’s Eggs, as well as SweetTart Jelly Beans.  I happen to love both!

How many of your favorite Easter treats did you get to eat this year?

Now the real question:  What do you want to talk about next? I like the polls as it gets us talking in the comments, and I think it helps our readers to get to know us and others better.  So who better to design the next poll than you? Any ideas?  And do you prefer the 2-D or 3-D pie chart?  Let me know in the comments!

So, what Easter treats do you like?  You can pick multiple options in this poll, so go for it!

Let us know what you said and why in the comments.  And be sure to vote in last week’s breakfast drinks poll.  There are already more votes since I made the sweet little pie chart, I just may have to do another!

Are you surprised?  What did you expect people to drink in the morning?  And yes, more people have voted since I created this pie chart.  I may just have to make another!!

I’m happy to have a poll on NewlyWife again!  Hope you all have fun with it, too!

Here's Matt and I back pre-engagement. We sometimes go wine tasting for dates.

So it got me thinking, perhaps we should try to do date nights on a more regular basis.

During the show, they interview a couple about an argument and bring on three celebrities to take a side of the husband or wife. A “just the facts” girl helps keep things in perspective. In the end, the Marriage Ref, comedian Tom Papa, makes “the call.”

Is this show a winner? I say yes. It’s not perfect, but it’s essentially a show with some heart that will make you laugh out loud. The issues they face are fairly tame — like a wife restricting rooms in the house — as well as some that you hopefully will never face — like a husband building a shrine to a stuffed pet. I’d say the biggest surprise was Eva Longoria Parker delivering more zings than Tina Fey! Plus, the participating couples got a second honeymoon for participating. Not shabby, right?

My favorite part, and what ultimately won me over, is the message at the end: “Isn’t marriage worth fighting for?” Most definitely.

Last week’s poll update: Do you garden? Well, looks like most of you want or have herbs, veggies and fruit trees in your garden. For me, I don’t have one. Yet!

PS — We were not paid to review this TV show, we just thought it would be of interest to our readers.

Then I set up a makeshift pot cleaning station and washed out all of my pots.  I filled one big tub with a little bleach and a lot of water, I scrubbed down each pot inside and rinsed with a dip in an “only water” bucket.

Look at how sparkly and clean all of my pots were!  And I only had one little spider to deal with. I expected many more!

So I want to know a little bit more about your garden…

One last thing — a month or so ago  I fully weeded my garden.  Then I threw in a bunch of seeds (like leftovers at the bottom of the tubs of seeds) and watered.  Then I forgot about it, but it rained.  The weeds were abundant.  I decided to see if there was anything worth saving.  Lo and behold, a few heads of lettuce and some broccoli!  I cleaned up the weeds around the viable plants, and left the rest.  I also threw more seeds in that one long patch of cleaned up dirt.  Here’s my 1/2 weedy garden, and my totally cute kitten!

To follow-up on our last poll when we discussed homemade cleaning products, it looks like only 1 of us actually uses them now, but it looks like more of us will make the switch in the future.  Click over to see all of the results!

We’ve been doing polls for a while now, but realized we left you hanging on the results. So here’s the response so far from last week’s question: Does it (or did it) bother you when people ask when you are going to have babies?

Of 16 votes, the majority said that it did bother them, but the three different reasons why (too personal, it’s all they ever ask, the difficulty factor) each had three voters. Seven voted to say that it didn’t bother them. Didn’t get a chance to vote? The poll is still open!
