Ways to say I love you

Have you ever thought of all the different ways to say I love you? You can show someone in  so many different how much they are loved, and sometimes you don’t even have to say anything at all! Whether it’s your partner, your kids, or your friends, making sure they know you love them is important. My daughter brought a book home from school called “How to fill your Bucket” which talks about how doing something as simple as telling someone they are loved fills up someones bucket (happiness) and also fills up your own. Such a cute concept right!? SO help fill someones bucket today by using these different ways to say I love you! 

Here are some greats ways to say I love you:

For your Partner:

• Get up early and surprise them with breakfast
• Is your partner swamped with work? Sneak them in a little snack while they are working, they will appreciate the break!
• Watch a sunrise/sunset together
• Go off the grid! Turn off cell phones, computers, etc and just spend the day together (this also applies to kids and friends)
• Plan a perfect date. A date filled with all their favorite things (even if they aren’t your favorite things).
