My Favorite Books of 2019

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! Is anyone ready to get back into your normal routine? In the last few months I have not worked out at all, haven’t slept much and have indulged in way too many carbs and sweets. This week, like most of you, I am starting fresh.

Part of my normal routine is reading before I go to bed each night. I am one of those old school people who likes to read books with pages. This last year I have read some really good ones! Ones that make you cry or keep you on the edge of your seat. Ones that are so good you may stay up a little too late waiting to see what happens. Anytime any of you see a flash of what book I’m reading on my Insta stories, I immediately get DM’s wanting to know what it was and if it was good. So today I decided to share some of my favorite books of 2019. Most of these, but not all, are current — and a few are just new to me….

Happy New Year from Daily Dose of Style

Happy New Year my friends! What a year it has been! Overall it was good year. Sydney graduated from college last May, I went on a girls cruise with my mom and the kiddo, I went on several mini trips with Topher, my business grew and I had the opportunity to collaborate with some new brands.

Just so you know none of this would be possible without the love and support from all of you! It may seem insignificant to you, but every time you like or comment on a blog or Instagram post it allows me to grow and have more opportunities to work with new and bigger brands that you will love. Being an influencer is my full time job and how I pay the bills to help support my family, and I appreciate all of you that use my links more than you know. I love any comments or DM’s telling me how excited you are about a purchase you made from my links or sending me pics of you in a new outfit I inspired you to buy or a recipe you saw on my stories.

I also love the friendships I have made through this crazy business! I try to keep things real and show true authenticity which sometimes means me showing up on stories with zero makeup and wet hair, or you all relating while I gripe about my family that can sometimes make me crazy. I know right now everyone is posting these crazy big goals for the next year. In the next year I just hope to keep plugging along and sharing things that you and I both are interested in and growing this little community. If I have learned anything this year it is to stop getting frustrated when I’m not skyrocketing ahead like some of the giant influencers out there. While I definitely work more hours now than I did when I worked full-time I still allow myself to enjoy time with my family and be present as much as possible.

To wrap things up I am very grateful for all of you, and I can’t wait to see what the upcoming year has in store for us!…

Under $50 Gifts That Will Arrive by Christmas

Happy Friday friends! Can you believe that Christmas is only 5 days away? I am finished with all of my shopping, but now comes the part I don’t like…wrapping! Is anyone else a terrible gift wrapper like me? When Sydney was little we would show up on Christmas with all of our gifts looking wonky and everyone would laugh and say “How cute! She wrapped the gifts!” When in all actuality it was all done by me lol! Now that she is 22, I can no longer blame it on her!

Last night the three of us went and saw White Christmas at a historic theater here in Wichita. The theater was so pretty and they had a men’s choir there singing Christmas carols before the show. It was so nice being all together, watching my favorite Christmas movie….

The Best Stocking Stuffers for Her

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! Friday night Topher and I, my parents, my brother, sister-in-law and their three little ones all went to a Christmas light show. It’s in Towanda (if you are local), on a farm where they have it all lit up with the most amazing Christmas lights. You walk through their wooded area that is divided into paths that contain tons of lights and inflatables. My sister-in-law and I plus my three nieces went on the sweetest little carriage ride through the property and the girls were in awe. They also had the most realistic Santa there, a live reindeer and a live nativity. During the nativity the crowd gathered round to watch them proceed in and tell the story of Christ’s birth set to music. Once the story ended everyone sang Silent Night together, and it was the sweetest moment! It totally felt like a scene out of a Hallmark movie! We have had snow and some wicked cold temps here in Kansas!…
