52 Lists-- List #6: The Ways in Which You Can Love Others

This weeks list topic really intrigued me: the ways in which you can love others. 
I just loved the idea of thinking of all the different ways we can show our love. 

Wasn't the lake just beautiful at sunset after our last snowstorm? 

Here are some of the many simple ways I show my love to others:


Sharing Hugs ♥ Giving Kisses ♥ Rubbing the boys heads ♥ Making their favorite meals or snacks ♥ Offering to buy a special treat ♥ Planning special surprises ♥ Cuddling on the couch ♥ Sharing books and movie I love with them ♥ Smiling ♥ Giving flowers ♥ Making handmade gifts and cards ♥ Scrapbooking our family memories ♥ Holding hands ♥ Helping when help is needed (without being asked) ♥ Hosting family gatherings ♥ Getting up a few minutes earlier to make my husbands lunch ♥ Sending flirty texts to my hubby ♥ Sending encouraging messages to family and friends when they're having a bad day ♥ Playing games together ♥ Sharing special date nights with my husband ♥ Giving them the last chocolate treat (even when I really, really want it!) ♥ Watching movies with them that don't really interest me just because they asked me to ♥ Holding open doors for others ♥ Giving sincere compliments ♥ Telling them I love them ♥ Giving them my undivided attention when they're talking ♥ Lending them a shoulder to cry on ♥ Taking the time to stop and visit with family (especially the elderly ones who are home bound) ♥ Bringing meals to family who are sick, have a new baby, or need help ♥

    I just love the Pooh graphic about love -- "you feel it"! So true and tied in so perfectly with this week's list. Love is something we "do" is where my list ended as I took time to reflect upon acting upon showing love to others. We shared similarities on our lists. Thank you for sharing with us!

    *sigh* The last chocolate is definitely a sign of love. :)

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
