The Sara Chronicles

I know it's not about the presents, it's about the season, but you know..I have 3 girls and a husband..and I need   want  have earned bribes  presents too. My mom: "Your children do NOT need all those Star Wars toys!" Me: "Umm...they're for me.Duh." 😂 So, needing to make a little extra cha-ching on the side becomes necessary.
