The Unique Meaning Behind Each Month's Birth Flowers

You probably know your birthstone, but what about your birth flower? If you’re a follower of astrology, the zodiac, or numerology, you already know that your date of birth is believed to have a significant influence on your life. People who are passionate about these fields generally agree that birth month can pre-determine things like personality traits, relationships, suitable career paths, and more. But even if you aren’t checking your horoscope every day or going through a spiritual awakening, it can still be fascinating to uncover the meaning behind monthly symbols such as birthstones, or an even lesser known category: birth flowers. While the exact origins of birth flowers are unclear, some historians believe they came into use as far back as Ancient Rome. Flowers were a common gift in the Roman Empire, and since the Romans were one of the first civilizations to celebrate birthdays, this could have led to the assignment of different flowers for each month. Regardless of how these categories officially came to be, the cultural fascination with flowers has lasted for centuries, and there are now dozens of flowers that have taken on sentimental meanings. Exploring the birth flower meanings for each month can be a new window into your own journey, and it can also be useful as a way to connect with loved ones. Purchasing a fresh bouquet filled with their birth flowers can make a simple birthday gift all the more thoughtful. And of course, if you ever needed another reason to treat yourself to some flowers, this is it. Birth flowers by month:

11 Actionable Ways to Show a Man You Love Him

Sometimes, actions really do speak louder than words. Everybody loves to feel appreciated and cherished, and that includes the guys in our lives. Sure, words matter, and you can tell him you love him every day; but why not show him, too? Sometimes, actions really do speak louder than words, and there are plenty of ways to show a man you love him that he'll likely appreciate even more than hearing, "I love you." Whether it's your spouse, dad, brother, son, or significant other, every guy needs to know how glad you are that they're part of your life. But it's easy to forget to show our love when we're all rushing around with other obligations, whether it's work, school, kids, or all of the above. But from little gestures to big ones, showing support for our men is good for them — and good for our relationships with them, too. The next time you want to reiterate your love for your man, consider actions over words. It doesn't have to be something huge; even small gestures can make your guy feel more loved, less taken for granted (because no one likes feeling overlooked!). By stepping back and doing something kind for your guy, he'll feel loved — much more deeply than if you just tell him you love him. Here are 11 simple, yet powerful ways to express your love, according to marriage therapists:

These Are the Pups That Top the List of Smartest Dog Breeds

Small, medium, or large — all of these dogs are intelligent. No matter how you slice it, your dog is the definitely the cutest, softest, cuddliest, and smartest pup out there. But there are certain dog breeds that are distinctly known for their level of intelligence, earning them recognition as search-and-rescue dogs, stellar guard dogs, and police partners. The top smartest dog breeds are intelligent in their own special ways, drawing from their natural instincts and personalities. After all, there are really no "dumb" dog breeds out there. According to the American Kennel Club, a dog's intelligence manifests in different ways. For example, "working breeds learn how to perform jobs quickly because of their instincts and natural abilities, while other breeds are motivated based on their strong desire to please." However, the AKC also points out that you have to put in the time and effort to train your pup to bring out their natural smarts. This may mean that some of these smart pups still might not be the best dog breeds for seniors, but a properly trained, older Pembroke Welsh Corgi could be the perfect fit for a loving watch dog. While some of the smartest dog breeds require a considerable amount of proper training, the reward is worth it, as these pups can become your hardest-working companion and work buddy — an especially great fit for families who live on a farm with livestock. Just as well, these pups can learn tricks and tasks, and you can be rest-assured that the kiddos are safe under Fido's watch. Not to mention, the younger ones won't be able to get enough of these adorable large dog breeds. From pups that stand just under a foot tall to other breeds that are a lot taller, you will find the best, smartest dog breed that is just right for your household on this list. As we mentioned, just make sure to thoroughly research their training needs before you adopt a dog, so that you can find the best possible fit for your lifestyle.
