14 Ways to Say "I Love You"

{Photo source: here}

I know some of you out there are V-Day downers...saying that it's ridiculous to especially focus one month on showing your loved one you care when it should be shown year round. I understand your thinking, but really....what harm can be done? These little "investments" as I call them may seem momentary...but.....if done thoughtfully... you and your Valentine are bound to reap the benefits not just this month, but all year round. ;)

~14 Ways to say "I Love You"~

1. Surprise your Valentine with breakfast in bed or

muffins and coffee before he/she goes into work :)

2. Leave love notes in random places around the house

such as in shoes, the refrigerator, inside a closed laptop, etc.

3. Clean his/her home office or work space---just make

sure you don't mess with the somewhat "organized" piles

4. Cook up their favorite dinner

5. Offer to take him/her out on a date---pick a favorite

place and a movie he/she would enjoy seeing.

6. Write "Be Mine" in the steamed up mirror

after you get out of the shower...or an old tube of lipstick

works well, too :)

7. Randomly ask your Valentine to dance with you---

it could be right there in the living room or kitchen, or

out & about like in the parking lot when you've finished shopping

8. Make your loved one a handmade Valentine's card and

write a letter telling him/her why you want them to be yours

9. Write him/her a poem---

don't be scared, it doesn't have to be perfect

10. Flowers. Chocolate. Card. 'Nough said.

11. Speak kindly & tenderly

12. Offer to help him/her with a pressing project

13. Compliment your Valentine

14. Say "I Love You" out loud. Many, many times.

xoxo,
