MIA

Hi friends!! I am so sorry to have gone missing! Life happened.

 

I was home for a week last week (HURRAH!) and I didn't stop all week! I was busy seeing friends and family, doing wedding things, and trying to relax. Didn't happen.

 

I'm back at work today trying to catch up. Today is like the worst day ever. I need a vacation to regroup from vacation! It was great, though!

 

Needless to say, blogging is on the back burner. I may be back tomorrow, but I can't promise anything! The next 6 weeks are going to be very crazy in Charlotte land! I do want to update you on my week at home, but that may have to wait!

 

Hope you all had a great and relaxing Thanksgiving.

 

I'll still be around on social media (duh), so you can find me on Twitter and Instagram (both @charlotteperrow).

 

xoxo

Friday Fancies: Black Friday

I can't really do the whole get up at 2 am to get to the mall for Black Friday shopping thing. I do not have the patience or commitment for that! I may do a little online shopping from the couch at home, but you won't find me at Wal-Mart! I really do need to get some Christmas shopping done, and I might fight the crowds for wedding party outfits, but I seriously doubt it!

 

After Thanksgiving meals, I need to go on a long run, so that will be at the top of my to-do list!

 

Patagonia //  pullover 

Old Navy // yoga pants 

Asics // running shoes

Hobo // wallet 

Tanya Taylor // scarf

Since I Live in the Midwest..

This is absolutely hilarious. You may not be able to read it very well, but hit the "source" link at the bottom to take you to the website to read it better.

This is SOOOOOO true if you aren't from the Midwest. I can't stop laughing!!

I think I even mistake these states. My family laughs because people ask... What state does Charlotte lives in? Indiana? Idaho? Ohio?? Some I state!

 

Too funny..

Monogram Madness

I'm from the South. It's true that I love ALL things monogrammed. My Midwestern friends and coworkers constantly give me a hard time about it, but I think they are secretly jealous!

I am always scouring Pinterest and online stores looking for monogrammed items! Now that my monogram will change from cPk to cLp, I am thinking of new items that I want need!

Here are some at the top of my list!

Happy Monogramming!

Friday Fancies: Autumn Treat

Happy Friday! This has been such a long week! I don't know if it is because I was waiting for my birthday, if I am really excited to go home tomorrow, work has been slow, or what! I just know I am glad I made it through the week! Next week is going to be jam-packed, so I don't really know how much I'll be around in blogosphere.

 

I love today's Friday's Fancies theme: Autumn Treat. What a fun idea as we wrap up fall. It is really beginning to feel like winter here in Illinois. I'm excited for a little warmer weather on the East Coast tomorrow!

 

I made butternut squash soup (courtesy of Lara) a few weeks ago and one of the ingredients was apple cider. I had not had real apple cider in so long and MAN it was good! I would throw a little in the microwave when we sat around the bonfire.

 

I thought that apple cider would be a fun theme for today instead of the normal pumpkin treats that we all think of for fall!
