How to get rid of garden moles 
Place toxic baits in the tunnels. 
Toxic baits will resemble earthworms, which are the mole's primary food source. Find a tunnel running through your garden and dig into it.

OPTIONS:
- You can dig once each day for best results. Check your hardware store for toxic baits, as your kids will enjoy using your toy to dig into the tunnel on their own.
- Drop 1 of the baits into the tunnel and then fill in the hole you dug. Place 3 or 4 baits throughout the tunnel or near exposed molehills.
- The mole needs to climb through your tunnel so earthworms have to climb out and the dead mole can die. Be sure to always draw the tunnel away from the area where you keep your moles.
- This is best done in garden or backyard moles. If a mole is caught on a ledge, such as a window ledge, this will block the mole's opportunity to escape.

How to deal with your parents keeping secrets as an adult 
Choose an appropriate time to talk. 
If you want to have a serious conversation with your parents about keeping secrets, you should broach the topic when your parents are not busy. It would be difficult to have an important and meaningful conversation when your parents are preoccupied with another task.

OPTIONS:
- Make sure that there are not many distractions at the moment so you can approach them confidently. Pick a time when you know your parents cannot see you (like the middle of the day) and don't be rushed.
- A good time may be when your parents are with friends or working, but it's a good time when you can be clear that something is bothering them. Tell your parents what is bothering you.
- For example, ask your parents to go on a walk or go for a car ride. This will allow you to have their undivided attention and will give you an opportunity to talk with them about your feelings.
- Instead, try to talk at a time when you and your parents are able to have a serious conversation. Choose a time when neither of you are busy with important obligations such as school or work.

For example, ask your parents to go on a walk or go for a car ride. This will allow you to have their undivided attention and will give you an opportunity to talk with them about your feelings.

How to do a professional looking photo shoot at home 
Choose your " studio " location. 
Find a white wall, preferably in a room that gets a lot of natural light. If you don't have a white wall, or if yours is covered with pictures, hang a white sheet from the ceiling and drape the end over the floor.

OPTIONS:
- This will create a studio-like blank canvas for your photo shoot. Open the blinds and let sunshine flood the room.
- If you're comfortable with black and white, go for black; black has great depth and texture when it comes to shooting dark, seamless shots. A bathroom will make your shoot much easier if you have an entire family in the process.
- You can also use a spread effect, depending on the photography you're doing. Choose any lighting you want for your studio and hang the bulbs at whatever side of the room you want to shoot in.
- Create an environment in which you are comfortable. Check out a variety of pictures on a wall to see what shots come together well, and see if any of them are considered " high-quality ".

How to clean a water fountain 
Turn off the fountain. 
Before cleaning your fountain, it's best to turn it off and take the pump out to make cleaning easier. You can also remove any items in the fountain, such as large rocks.

OPTIONS:
- Always check your manual before cleaning, as different fountains may require different cleaning methods. Before you take out the pump, you can connect a hose to it and use it to pump the water out of the fountain into a bucket or outside.
- The pump should be attached to an outdoor stand to make cleaning easier. Locate a water cooler or place on the back of the fountain.
- Some fountain owners prefer to carefully dispose of these materials to avoid damaging their water system in the future. Opt for cleaning before adding water to the fountain.
- Pour some water in a bucket or bowl. Fill the bucket or bowl with plain water for the best flow of clean water.
