This giveaway is now closed! Thank you for participating!
It’s Friday and we’re celebrating Date Night here at Five in Tow. I’ve got three great prizes to make date night–or any night–special!
First, I’m giving away a second Rekindling Romance e-kit from Jason and Jami Balmet.
This e-kit arrives just in time for some fun Valentine’s Day planning. I love the fact that every single idea in this kit is fun and do-able no matter what the budget or circumstances (like the babysitter cancels). It’s a date night in your in-box!
Don’t forget to hop over to Jami’s Facebook page or website for an extra entry. You’ll be blessed!
Next, my friend Sunny is sending one winner a box of Belgian chocolates from her home in Belgium! I do not have a picture of these aforementioned chocolates because they have not yet arrived, and when they do arrive, I will not be taking any pictures of them because if I do, I will eat them. All. Of. Them.
So. No photos. Instead, I will share Sunny, who has been a friend of mine (across the miles) for many, many years. She is now teaching Spanish and French to high school students on a NATO base in Belgium. Sunny loves to explore, and when she does, she brings us beautiful stories and pictures like this:
I love reading her blog and living vicariously through her! I’m kind of praying that if my husband’s application to Active Duty chaplaincy is accepted, we’ll get stationed right there by the chocolates beautiful scenery. Read her stories and you’ll see why!
My final prize for our Date Night Giveaway was donated by my very favorite reader (besides my husband): my mom! She reads every one of my posts and has always supported me (except in this case). My mom is also an avid knitter, crocheter, and purveyor of all things crafty. Growing up, I was always wearing something handmade just for me.
My Mom, aka Auntie Annie, is rewarding one of my readers with a made-to-order scarf. She will give you style and color options and you can choose!
Hand knit, hand dyed wool scarf. Thanks, sheep!
Made with yarn from Italy, the glitter scarf will brighten up any winter wardrobe!
My mom and my step-dad run a little hobby farm my grandparents started. It is filled with obstinate sheep (my words, not theirs). They harvest the wool, and Grandma and Mom dye it themselves, spin it, and make it into all sorts of wonderfulness. You can read all about the little farm that holds my heart at their website. If you love natural fibers or are looking for some fantastic wool batting for quilts, this is your place!
My mother would kill me if I posted her picture online. Instead, her she is in quilt form.
How to Enter
1) I like to keep giveaways simple. All you have to do to be entered for this giveaway is to comment below! That’s it! It would be fabulous if you also subscribed to my blog, followed me on Twitter, or liked my Facebook page, but I can’t make that a requirement because of Facebook policies (and it also complicates things and that sort of defeats the whole “simple” thing).

Here you go: you may earn extra entries by visiting and commenting on our sponsors’ blogs, Facebook, or Twitter pages. Why not subscribe, like, or follow them while you’re there? Come back here and leave a separate comment to let me know you went a-visiting so I can enter your name twice.

Oh handmade scarf, I KNOW you want t come live with me!
I LOVE the idea of the Rekindling Romance E-kit. 🙂 My hubby deserves the extra love and I am NOT the best at thinking of cute things to do.
Just saw I can enter twice… Your wall of quotes has inspired me to keep a journal of all the things my children say/do that, we’re they not written down, I would forget. I don’t want to forget the preciousness of these early years.
Your blog has been such a blessing and encouragement to me since I stumbled across it about two months ago– in the 30 days of enjoying your children more series. Belgian Chocolate or no Belgian chocolate, I will keep reading!
Wonderful prizes!

Such fun ideas you have!
Chocolate anyone? Soft fuzzy pretty scarves……oh, joy! : )
Always looking for great ideas when it’s my turn to plan date night … and all of these would help! Something to do … or something to eat … or something to wear! 😀
MEMEME Please 🙂 With 5 kids and a homeschooler I dont often get out. 🙂
i also have five in tow…all under the age of 5. love reading your blog!
Signed up for Jamie’s e-newsletter! A “Date Night” would be awesome! With 7 kiddos…we RARELY get out!! 🙁
I am TOTALLY checking out your mom’s website! I have a very small hobby farm (six sheep, four goats, an assortment of chickens…the number depends on how hungry the redtail hawk in the woods has been… two dogs, and two cats.) This is the first year I am trying to learn to wash, card/comb, and spin my wool into something useful.
What is this “date night” thing you speak of? LOL! That’d be cool.
Rekindling would be nice, since we just had our 4th baby and our anniversary is in April. But of course, I’d never turn down chocolate!
“The Discovery”! HILARIOUS!! 🙂 keep up the awesome writing you do!
We have a swim friend who attends high school on a Nato Base in Belgium. I will ask if she takes French or Spanish! It would be fun to meet up…we get there on occasion.
I shared “The Discovery” on facebook…I’m still wiping away tears from laughing so hard!!
I went a-visiting. My Mum is retiring in a couple months and plans to move to the country and have a little hobby farm. She’s mentioned getting a sheep or two, I’ll refer her to your mom’s site. 🙂
Love the scarves. I would love to leave near our parents so I could watch the process, and maybe help. 🙂 So glad Mom has something in the giveaway. Rekindling Date Night is also a huge need here. 🙂
I loved your story yesterday about reading to your boy. They grow up way too fast!
All of these gifts are wonderful!
Now what I really need to rescue date night is something fun and free to do tonight! But I think your prizes would help in the future 🙂
Keep opening your heart to us! Your writing is phenomenal!
Wow I love the scarves they are awesome!! Are these for sale after the giveways are over, i would love to have one.
chocolate…chocolate…the natives are getting restless over here
So distracted by the chocolate I didn’t notice the beautiful scarves! It’s cold here in Idaho, I’d love one!!! Checking out their site now!
Mmmmm chocolate
What awesome prizes! You have some wonderful family and friends!
after having 2 kids in the space a 14 month we probably need a little rekindling… Lol
