Whew! November is here and in typical life style, things have been n-u-t-t-y. Between a work trip to Chicago, weeks and weekends jam-packed with events (Just over the past few days, I had a Forbes conference + Skyline Soiree for the American Cancer Society + photoshoot downtown, to name a few!) it’s been a bit hard to keep up with it all. But I’m preaching to the choir, no doubt. Why does this time of year – when you crave things to slow down most – end up being the busiest?!
The Charming Roundup: V4 features links, finds and reads to enjoy as you’re (hopefully!) taking a moment to relax. Hope you’re having the best weekend!

I recently shared all about my first trimester, including how I told Doug and how we told our girls! I also shared a roundup of 18 Netflix movies that didn’t make me fall asleep while watching (Anyone else have the habit of snoozing after a few minutes in?!) + a super easy curling wand tutorial that is my go-to for styling my hair. Kels chimed in to share the most delicious – and healthy! – pumpkin recipe that’s straight from a culinary student.
Also be sure to check out last week’s posts, where I shared photos from a gorgeous Michigan flower field + my fall bucket list (Gotta check off all these items before fall is over!)
