LOVE is our theme of the month, and we are working on learning ways to show LOVE other than just telling someone that we LOVE them. Our kids have brainstormed some fun and budget-friendly ways to show LOVE for others. We want to learn to create memories without spending a fortune.

Some of the ideas we have come up with are:

1. Pray for others
2. Offer encouraging words to others
3. Helping someone with their chores.
4. Do a chore without letting them know who did it.
5. Taking care of things on someone’s To-Do list.
6. Fold the laundry for someone else.
7. Compliment someone on something unique.
8. Plant something special for someone
9. Making a favorite meal or dessert.
10. Take cookies to a neighbor
11. Leave a nice note
12. Help carry in the groceries without complaining
13. Write a poem or a letter for someone special
14. Read a book to a younger sibling
15. Draw a pretty picture
16. Make someone else’s bed for them
17. Make breakfast in bed, or have a cup of coffee ready for them in the morning.
18. Hold the door open for someone else
19. Organize a surprise party – see our special holidays for ideas
20. Do your chores without complaining
21. Make a pretty card
