When's the last time you did something sweet for someone you love?
It doesn't have to involve spending much money;
It really is the thought that counts.
Kevin and I have been trying to make an effort to surprise each other with sweet things lately and it's been SO much fun. It can be simple - like making sure all the covers are straightened and tucked in before we lay down because he knows I like them that way or running an errand for your spouse to make their day a little easier. I thought I'd share a few of our recent ideas with you...
I have been trying to pack his lunch a few days a week and surprise him with a fun treat. I got him a new pack of gum and.
He surprised me with a fire pit and s'more ingredients.
I planned weekly menu items around his favorite foods.
He asked us to go on a breakfast date before work one day.
It was fun because it was totally unexpected and definitely breaking out of our normal morning routines.
A few mornings a week, I wake up before him and make him eggs for breakfast. He enjoys a hot breakfast and I enjoy cooking for him. I'm not a morning person and don't love waking up early so he appreciates the extra efforts on my part.
I'm hoping to make a batch of cinnamon rolls, plan a movie + popcorn date night one day this week and get a lunch date on the calendar.
Do you have any other suggestions of fun things
to do to show someone you care about them??
Those are so cute! I guess I did my good girlfriend duty this weekend by helping clean my boyfriend's house. We just ate pizza and had a lazy sweatpants date and it was perfect. Like you said it doesn't mean having to buy something; just doing little things.
ReplyDeleteI just love doing this! I have been contemplating doing the 12 cards - one for each month with a preplanned date in it.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are you. These are all so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI try to make sure there's always some kind of homemade treat or breakfast bread for Paul to munch on...and now that I think of it, most of my kind deeds are food related. I need to work on expanding my expressions of love and kindness! Thanks for the motivation!
