This year, I got creative with Brian’s big Christmas gift. One thing that I struggle with, and have always struggled with is balancing the time I spend “working” and the time I spend just relaxing. As I mentioned earlier today, this is a BIG year, which also means that it will be a busy year.
Instead of buying Brian a specific item, I decided to give Brian the gift of my time.
I planned and paid for 12 dates, one for each month. I put the plans along with the gift card or money inside of a little envelope that Brian and I will open up together at the beginning of each month. This year, Brian and I are GUARANTEED to go on at LEAST 12 dates…and I can’t wait!
Tonight is date number one.
We are heading to Climb Time Indy, an indoor rock climbing wall!
Honestly, I have never done indoor rock climbing, but I am sooo looking forward to it.
Wish us luck on our rock climbing adventure, I will be sure to update you with details later
Have you ever gone indoor rock climbing? What advice do you have for a beginner like myself?

I'm Tara, a 24-year-old fitness and food lover living in Indianapolis, IN. 











Hi I think this is such a cute idea. I might have to steal idea and use it with my hubby. But since I’m late for Christmas I might use it for as Valentine gift.
Thanks, Jess. Please, feel free to “steal” the idea
I stole it from Pinterest! Let me know if you need any help planning the dates or anything else!! I can’t wait to see what you end up doing.
What other ideas did you come up with for the year? I am interested in doing something like this. Great idea!
Would you please e-mail me at trebleinthekitchen@gmail.com? Brian reads the blog and I don’t want to ruin any surprises!!
Cute idea! I’d love to hear your other ideas. My husband and I also live in Indy.
Thanks for reading fellow Indianapolis person!
Send me an e-mail and I will send you the other date ideas! I don’t want to spoil anything for Brian!
