ry important, we all know that. we could use it for therapy for some diseases. if we want to lose weight, we drink lots of water and it helps detoxify the fats in our system. water hydrates the skin too. there are just too many benefits of water. one thing i discovered is that the water that you rinse the rice with can be used for gardening. just use the rice water to water the plants and see your plants become greener and healthier.

Sunday, August 31st, 2008don’t push
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008don’t push your goals and dreams onto your children. encourage them to develop their own dreams. their future is what they make of it, not ours. we can just encourage them. we cannot push them. they have their own destiny and sometimes, we don’t realize that we want them to be like us.

how to create a family keepsake – part 2
Monday, August 25th, 2008I have blogged about how to create a family keepsake. It’s because it is important to preserve those memories you have with children. We always think that we won’t forget the things we did and how and why and what happened on that day but in reality, we won’t. There are just too many happenings that some of them we will forget… unless we capture every moment of it. Like what I have said, having a camera or digital camera can be useful in capturing the moments. I talked about digital scrapbooking and a few more. And of course, we need a place to post them, right? So what do we need? It’s either we:
- create a blog. Not only can you post your videos, photos or digital scrap, you can also write what happened at the moment. Some blogs are for free. But when you want your own custom domain, you need to pay. But it’s not much. You can have a custom domain from wordpress at 15$ per year and at Blogger for 10$ per year. Both have different features. So it’s up to you to decide which one you want to use.
- if you can afford it, have your own website.
Then if you want to share your moments with family and friends, you can just give them the link. There’s nothing like preserving memories. Memories that last. Memories that would bring the family back together again.

be physically affectionate
Monday, August 25th, 2008
Hug your children and be physically affectionate with them.
Especially for girls, receiving affection at home will make them less likely to seek it elsewhere.
Boys do need hugs too. So don’t forget to give him that much needed hugs.
Everyday.
