To the left is a cozy sitting room with a bay window, and to the right, is the dining room that also features a nice bay window. Towards the back of the home, is the living room and kitchen.

Dear Fonseca
I am going to start my holiday shopping this weekend. I'm conflicted over how much to buy my children. One of my kids has been great and deserves the world while the other two haven't been so great and don't really deserve anything. Would it be wrong if I bought more gifts for the child, who deserves them OR do I have to get all three kids the same amount of gifts? Do you think getting my good kid more gifts would motivate the other two to behave better and do better in school?
