After my guy, Chris Wooten, and I married, I thought we had to show each other grand gestures of love. Almost 15 years later, I now know that simple gestures go a long way. Here are some of our favorites --
- Make Breakfast in Bed
- Pack a Surprise Lunch for a Tough Day at Work
- Pack an Impromptu Picnic (for the family room floor)
- Make Dinner (it doesn't have to be romantic)
- Bake a Cake (or Cupcakes or Cookies)
- Call to Say Hi
- Say, "Good Morning"
- Say, "I Love You"
- Say, "Good Night"

- Wash the Clothes
- Pick up the Dry Cleaning
- Pick up the Kids
