These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

I've learned that it's often the little things that make a relationship. I've also learned that people change over time (usually for the better ;P) Here's an idea to keep up with your loved one so that you can continually get to know each other better and be aware of what the other likes, wants, and needs: A Favorite Things List! The “Favorite Things List” is a survey of sorts that acts as a cheat sheet when you’re looking for ideas for those special ‘just because’ gifts. Often as time goes on and you change, your favorite things change too. You can make this list whatever you want it to be, whether short or several pages long, silly or serious. To add to the fun, you can both sit down together when you are filling out the list, as often as you'd like whether it be once a year or once a month. It makes for great conversation! (Hey, that could be a whole date night in itself!)

But of course you can play around with it to make it your own!

Look At This Photograph, Every Time I Do It Makes Me Laugh

Ever wished you had more pictures of you and your other half? I have a great idea for either "just because", for decoration, or as a special gift :) Take a picture of you and your loved one during each season of the year, then frame them all in matching frames, unique frames, or a 4-way frame and display! Super simple yet super meaningful, and fun! Pictures are a great gift because they represent memories, and you can always enjoy looking back on them. If you are really nostalgic (like me ;p) you could even do this every year!

Oh, You Make Me Smile

Sometimes the best way to feel love is to spread love. Any act of kindness will make you feel good, but here are some ideas of random acts of kindness that will brighten people's days; and yours :)

1. Leave change at a vending machine

2. Hide dollar bills in the toy section of the dollar store

3. Deliver homemade sweets to your local firestation, police station, library, etc.

4. Deliver flowers to a local hospital or senior center. Ask the desk clerk which patients she thinks need cheering up the most

5. Leave your mailman homemade sweets or a small gift

6. Collect some coupons and leave them at their places of use for others to find

7. Go through a drive-thru and tell the cashier you want to pay for the people's order behind you

8. Write a card to a friend or family member just to remind them how much they're loved



9. Compliment someone

10. Look at people in the eye, and smile :)



Spread the love,

You'll Wear White and I'll Wear Out the Words "I Love You"

Continuing on my wedding theme from yesterday....I've gotten some really cute and simple ideas from Pinterest to make your wedding even more special and memorable. Here's a few :)

1. Have the bride write a sweet note for the groom to read since they can't see each other while getting ready

2. Throw sprinkles instead of rice, they're more colorful :)

3. At the bottom of the cake, hide whatever the groom likes... sports mascot, band logo, anything. Because it's just as much his day as it is yours.

4. Have a canopy over the bride and groom and at the moment of the kiss pull the cord and have it rain confetti

5. Have your guests sign a puzzle piece each, then put it back together, frame it and display

Hope you all love these ideas as much as I do :) Please share if you have others!

Rainbow sprinkles and confetti,
