We don't go in for the whole Valentines thing in our house, I believe we should show love as often as we can. As things become more and more commercialised and twisted for the sake of the almighty pound/dollar/euro whatever currency you have, the more I find myself pulling away from it. However here are some of the ways we express our love as a family.
Seeing signs of love all around us
Random acts:

| A rose from the garden picked for mummy. |

A gift sent from a friend.

Sharing Together:
Make, read, play and laugh.
My husband and I worked on painting a tea pot together, he painted one side while I painted the other. It looks as if it has a split personality but who said that doing something together means doing the same?
Capturing acts of love & kindness:
Lots of Hugs & Kisses:
These are only a few snippets from our lives there are just way too many to post, another way I am trying to show my love to my children is by doing things they love but I dislike. Wait till you see this weeks post on what got me 'out of my comfort zone' which I hope to post on Friday!
Very nice, I agree, love should be shown everyday! I still like surprising my girls with a whole day filled with hearts on Valentine's Day though :)
ReplyDeleteI may need to re think the Valentine's Day activities or my future daughters-in-law will never forgive me!
