HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! It sounds like you had a great time with your mom and family. P.S. My kids, grandkids, and I are all HUGE Swifties, too. And I adore Travis Kelce. ❤

Thank you!! 💕🎉 And YAY for another Swiftie family!! I love the Kelce brothers’ podcast, New Heights. They’re both great guys, great family!

New subscriber here! Great birthday haul and what a nice birthday surprise from your hubby❤ I also live near the St. Louis area and I am a huge Chiefs fan! Go Chiefs🏈❤️💛! When I saw the dove, I was like that is the West County Mall❤❤❤ Interesting enough I actually went to and graduated from SEMO! I thought Gone Girl was a great read, I loved the book so much better than the movie! Horrorstor looks like an interesting read, I will have to add to my TBR! Looking forward to more of your videos! Happy reading📚

So fun! The Clothes you tried on were so cute. I've seen booksandlala do that 100 scratch of book challenge and it looks so neat!

[@Laura_Reads]

Thank you!! I can’t wait to read more of the “classics/modern classics” from that scratch off poster! It’s just so satisfying to scratch things off. Lol 😆

[@brightsidegirl]

I bet!! I thought of making my own at one point 😂

My birthday is in January and my mom and I also always go shopping for my birthday and we try to do all the free birthday things (free Starbucks, free dessert at Olive Garden, Sephora birthday gift, etc) 😊

[@Laura_Reads]

That’s so fun!! I always get the Bath & Body Works free item… I forget about some of those others! Are there any bookstores that do a free book on your birthday?? 🤔😅

[@brightsidegirl]

I'm originally from KC so i love the Chiefs merch!

[@Laura_Reads]

That’s right, I forgot about that!! ❤️💛 Go Chiefs!
