Welcome to High Five for Friday – hosted by Katie, Tif, Della, and Caitlin! If you want to know more, read about it here!
This week’s featured blogger is Colletta from Colletta’s Kitchen Sink! She loves blogging about cooking, crafts and her great love of books! She basically excels at all things I WISH I could! A little jealous over here. Plus we are clearly kindred spirits because she names her Friday posts “Tea Time” 🙂 Swing over and say hi to Colletta!
Can’t wait to see what you are all up to! Our week has been quiet, but fun, while we’re still on vacation.
1. Last night’s first ever H54F Hangout was SUCH FUN! Seriously had a huge crick in my side from giggling. And we really appreciate all of you who watched live and left comments, chatted, etc. It was hard to keep track of it all, but we tried our best!! Mark your calendar for the next one – September 24 at 9:30PM! We’ll be talking about blogging, and sharing our experiences and even a few mistakes we’ve made so far. If you’re interested in joining us for a Hangout in the future as a fellow co-host, let me know! #H54FHangout
2. Vlogust has been tricky to keep up. I was feeling like the “follow us around” videos were getting old. So I got behind in recording. BUT I decided to catch up by filming a few snippets, like a mini-haul and a peek inside my travel makeup bag…. but my favorite video so far is my rummage through old memories, including my childhood diary! It was a hoot! I’ve got a whole camera full of clips that need to be edited, so swing over to my YouTube channel now to subscribe. Because there is about to be a flurry of videos launching.
3. Last night my mom stopped off at the local apple orchard and picked up the first batch of Michigan apples for the season AND some fresh donuts. #heaven
4. This week’s weather in Michigan has been glorious!!! It may not be glorious for the locals, but for this girl who will be returning to the South Summer Weather tomorrow, I’m soaking it all in. It’s been in the 60s (at best) and breezy. It’s gotten me in the mood for Fall so quickly! We talked about this last night on the Hangout, but as soon as Labor Day leaves, I’m putting up my leaves! (and pumpkins)
5. One of our favorite activities this week has been going for a “nature walk” down the road to an empty lot on my parents’ street. It’s a wooded lot with plenty to explore. You can also walk down to the lake. There is so much to explore, especially when you go with a toddler!
But Elizabeth wasn’t really cooperative when it came to taking selfies.
So what were you up to this week? Let me know! Or better yet, link up!

I loved seeing you girls on the hangout, you’re so cute and so sweet!! I didn’t even know you had a Youtube channel so I’m an instant follower! loved checking out your vlogust. I think some people did a Vlogtober last year so I’m going to look into that and the prompts are a great idea but I love seeing the everyday too.
Thank you! It was such fun last night. So glad you got to watch us 🙂 And thanks for following now! Vlogust has been quite the challenge, but a lot of fun! Have a great weekend!
OMG – I would be mortified to read my childhood diary. muahahah! I wanted to be like robin from general hospital so I included cut outs and paste ins. omg.

OMG that video. Amazing. I also kept little diaries (often of the Lisa Frank persuasion!) throughout my childhood and definitely would have had some Babysitter Skipper-esque drama if I had a sister haha! (I did, however, have Babysitter Skipper! And Pizza Party Courtney and a million others!) Those donurts look amazing, and I love your failed selfie. Toddlers do not seem to make the best still life subjects! 😀 Have a great weekend!!
I missed the hangout last night but I did watch it after the fact. It was fun! Hopefully I’ll be able to watch the next one. Although I hate Google+ so I might just be watching and not commenting lol anyways, those doughnuts look SO GOOD! And I am jealous of you Michigan weather. 60’s sound so nice! It’s supposed to be 97 here again 🙁 I am so ready for fall! Hope you have a great weekend!
your vacation looks glorious from the pics! we are still in the 90s every day down here in texas! yuck! 🙂
Last year I read through all my high school diaries. Horrifying. I’m cringing just thinking about it.
The donuts look fantastic. I can’t wait to go to the apple orchard again this year!
You just crack me up. Last night was fun and your face in the nature walk picture is hilarious!
So glad you had a great time with us on the Hangout! It was fun!! And toddler pictures just never work out… oh well. 🙂
Your trip to Michigan sounds dreamy!! You’ll definitely be in the fall mood when you head home. Those donuts look amazing. Hope you had a great trip!!
The Fall weather was so great! And then I came home to high 80s and humidity. Sigh…. Fall is still a ways off in NC.
Yay! The hangout was so fun! Those donuts looks amazing. I’m thinking about shopping for a few fall decorations for my house in the next few weeks. I’m dying to make a monogram wreath for the front door! Happy Friday!

Thanks so much for participating with us on the hangout! The monogram wreath would be so great! Share pictures!
Lol! Toddlers and selfies! I have trouble getting Miss. E to pose, as well. Sounds like your vacation is relaxing and filled with yummy treats. Have a great weekend!
It just doesn’t happen… toddlers and pictures…. sigh.
Those donuts look amazing! 🙂 I’m glad to hear all is not lost for Vlogust, can’t wait for more videos!
The donuts were so good!! And yes! Trying hard to catch up 🙂
Just got to watch part of your google hangout video – so, so great!! I love the whole idea of it, and it sounds like you all were having such a great time!!!
XOXO

HAHA! So glad you liked it! We are so excited to keep doing this.
I had a lot of fun watching your hang out and i love vlogust. In my opinion the “follow us around” videos are great!
I’m so glad you liked the Hangout! And I like the follow us around videos, but I do worry they get boring. Glad they aren’t!
