I'm so glad you are spreading the word. Swapping is the best! It used to cost us $80 to go the movies (which was a big disincentive)...now we can have a night out for just the cost of our movie tickets. I find that it is way easier to enjoy a relaxed night out when it doesn't break the bank. It's also a great way to get to know you neighbors better! I love this entry, Amy.

A little free time would have helped me enjoy my kids more when I was with them. I’d have loved to have had a life-line like this when my kids were little.
