We all know that clothes are important to human beings. Some animals even wear it when it gets too cold in the winter. The more season we experience it seems the more clothes we need to dress up appropriately. Yet seasons don't...

hibiscus_mel Wow, that is really great savings if you did not buy clothes for two months. Sometimes I do buy clothes out of impulse buying and don't even mind wearing them. If you need a shirt go for it. After all you have enough or for more than a shirt. lol. you have...

I grew one plant that turned into many. I've given away tons of it. I use if for burns and I tend to burn myself cooking or not waiting long enough before removing items from my microwave. At work, someone used my pen and gave it...

hibiscus_mel Yes, she breaks it open and just rubs it on the scalp. I am not sure if the weather here is good for aloe veras but it sure will be fun to try since I am in the garden state. Eating it will feel weird since it don't smell that nice but yes it is interesting...

hibiscus_mel You are exactly right mazark, the pollution aggrevates the air. Dry air is hard to deal with but I do believe there are ways and means to prevent the headache.;-)

I always say I love you to my children more than a couple of times a day and in return they tell me I love you even without prodding them to say the word. My niece who visited us felt awkward when my children tells her that they...

hibiscus_mel Yes, sometimes hearing it is better than showing it especially with kids. They can better understand it better this way. I am sure in some way we get affected when our parents just show it and not say it. It is anyway never too late to be able to express our...

hibiscus_mel If we feel it is so nice to hear such words its a wonder why it is so difficult for others to say it. I can easily say to some people but not to everyone. I think I just really value such word. I do tell my kids and my husband but not my stepson. I think it is...

hibiscus_mel Hi janyen, how old is your stepson? Mine is 16 and even if I don't tell him that I love do things to make him feel that I do care. He is aware of that and his dad don't even tell him that he loves him that's why I don't bother but I do tell my own kids every...

hibiscus_mel It would be good to tell your kid how much you love him not only to your husband because he can hear you well and he can remember you as well. He will model this behavior and it will really be easy for him to tell you how much he loves when he will be able to...

hibiscus_mel Expressing our love in words may sometimes be the most abused form of expression yet there are generations who found it the most difficult. It is not a hindrance if we take it as a lesson and a mistake never to be repeated again. While it is true that each one...

hibiscus_mel It is good to have an open communication. To be able to express our love in words is not easy but once we are able to teach our kids by modelling it can never really be difficult as we would have thought. Yes, it feels good to be able to say i love you in the...

hibiscus_mel My kids tell me all the time how much they love me too. It does tickle my heart since like you I did not grow up with my parents modelling such verbal language. It is cute and adorable that our kids can do such things like hug and kiss us and tell us how much...

hibiscus_mel I hope all is well in your family. Yes, sometimes as kids grow they will tend to have a thing on their own. I rarely heard my mom telling me she loves me too but I can remember she did when we were really very small kids. I just wonder if she got tired of...

hibiscus_mel I commend you for being able to express your love to your kids no matter where you are. I think kids can open up if we always show them that parents are people who have feelings too. Yes, it is true that expressing our feelings can help develop close family...

hibiscus_mel I wonder if it has something to do with culture or age because my mom used to say she loves us when we were really very young but as we grow old we felt awkward telling each other about it. Nevertheless as she has done everything to raise us alone I do think...

hibiscus_mel I think as children grow older being able to say this word diminishes. I'm not sure but I just hope my children will still be able to tell me how much they love me even wen they grow up.

hibiscus_mel Yes, my kids say this word many times a day too. I do have a 16-year old stepson that I have never heard telling his dad that he loves him. I think he did not grow up expressing this words freely. He has been a part of my life for less than two years and it...
