When there’s mail in the letterbox, I peek at it and then leave it for my beau who comes home a bit after me. Of course, it’s normally just spam/bills, but I always get a little rush of excitement finding something there that I have to share the love! It’s also funny knowing what someone is going to say about the mail before they say it 🙂
I do the dishes. yes, that’s love 🙂
I hug him when he gets up in the morning. (Every morning) 🙂
I show my love by smiling and baking cookies. 😀
Her work looks awesome, I’ll make sure to check it out. 🙂
I show love everyday by little attentions and details. Also, I love sending a loved one a lovely postcard or a letter, just because. For no reasons in particular. 🙂
eyes are to show love in everyday things…
I try to compliment as many people as possible. Nothing over the top, just enough to make them feel fuzzy. ;0)
I wake up early to brew coffee for my husband before he goes to work, even though I don’t have to be up for another few hours. I know it makes his day start nicer and that he appreciates him.
How amazing. I show love by making social justice a priority in my life and my activism on a daily basis, even if it’s the smallest thing.
I would love to give this book to my goddaughter or donate it to my work – a Boys & Girls Club!

Breakfast! I get the fresh rolls in the morning 🙂
These days it feel like I’m showing love by just trying really hard to not be a terrible person.
I cook and bake delicious, nourishing food every day and I tell my babies I love them – all the time.
I express my love for my loved ones by making sure to tell them how much they mean to me.
I try to be as nice as possible to everyone.
I don’t always succeed, but hey, it’s the effort that counts, right?
Love her work, remind me of Pascal Campion…
I show love with smile…it’s the best way to tell …try to “smile” to everyone…
I spend as much time as I can connecting and sharing with my lovely wife and two small children.
make to smile who i love…their laughter is also my one
this is really hard but for me, it’s about being patient. it’s very hard with a very active toddler and a baby. so I show my love from there (:
I show love by both words and touch. 🙂
I show love by smiling at strangers, actually telling people most of the compliments that pop into my head, and leaving mini surprises everywhere I can to try to bring more joy to people’s lives!
I love her work-it is full of life and joy and the San Francisco scenes still steal my heart even after living here.
I show my love by giving people genuine compliments every day—I love making them smile!

One text message per day, saying sweet things in the morning. 🙂

What a lovely give-away!
I show love everyday by giving the people around me attention and to listen to them. I want them to know that I’m there for them, every day 24/7. My friends know they can call me day and night. Showing love isn’t just saying the words but through little acts of kindness you can make people feel it in their hearts.
Hugs. Kisses.
Wonderful giveaway!
Little acts of kindness are the best ways of showing love; a hug or kiss, some freshly baked cupcakes, doing the housework for someone 🙂
