I think that sometimes, it&#39;s harder for me to apply these types of lessons to my kids, than it is for them. <br />Look how organized that drawer is! :)Dawnhttp://renaissancemama.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018393309086570045.post-39683338276841647212010-02-10T08:48:28.455-05:002010-02-10T08:48:28.455-05:00Love this idea!

I did learn a lot about appreciating the arts and creativity from my parents, but I think right now as a girl just starting out on her own, I am really thankful for their teachings on saving and money!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790498956206713440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018393309086570045.post-78739106788546463082010-02-09T23:37:10.474-05:002010-02-09T23:37:10.474-05:00As much as I HATED this concept when I was a kid (I had to earn half of everything I wanted to do outside of the &quot;required&quot; (violin/swim team-- read &quot;forced&quot;) activities-- like camp-- I love the idea for my kids. Grady is already showing far more restrain than his mama--- he fixates on what he wants to spend his birthday dollars from aunts and uncles on, and never, ever deviates from that. Great lessons!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01171863825834003035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018393309086570045.post-84326152834262144622010-02-09T23:07:31.114-05:002010-02-09T23:07:31.114-05:00I love how you do this with your children!
