I learned some valuable lessons from both methods as a kid. My parents "allowed" me the opportunity to have a bit of pocket money (like, $1.00 a week in quarters, but it started off with small change as a way to learn counting), and if I went above and beyond the normal call of duty, I had opportunities to raise extra. 8 Mistakes Parents Make With Allowance Deseret News |

I can't really agree with the color choices . . . it feels very flat right now. Maybe if she'd done it in white-wash colors to accentuate the rustic quality, or done it in high-gloss to make it pop. Before & After: Colorful Outdoor Bench Christina Diaz |

Having grown up with dogs, I've come to accept that my property becomes the dog's property when invited into my life. Usually, they grow out of the worst habits by about age two with proper training, but everyday wear (floors and bedding) is something I plan my life around. Being a dog owner is a lifestyle choice, and a lot of first time dog owners I've met don't seem to be prepared for the change. Do a little bit of research, and consider how your lifestyle would have to change to provide for theirs, and decide THEN if you're ready to make that commitment. Not later, when you're dropping them off a the local shelter. Think Positively: Dealing With Pet Damage |

Solar powered garden lights would be an option . . . the only problem would be having to manually turn each one on, but there are alot of options. Some actually come as lanterns (see link below) or you could get cheap garden spikes at any hardware store, and just take the light out of the casing and adjust on your own. It's similar to the "Home Made Sun Jars" project on Instructables. There's tons of hardware to choose from, so you could look around til you found your favorite options.
