Welcome to High Five for Friday – hosted by Katie, Tif, Della, and Caitlin! If you want to know more, read about it here!
Can we talk the next H54F Hangout on September 24? That one will be all about blogging! Do you have any questions about blogging you’d like us to chat about? Any tips you want to share?? We’re all learning together, right? Let me know down in the comments below!
This week’s featured blogger is Olya from The Siberian American! Olya and I are both in the middle of this medical journey – her husband is in his first year of residency. She’s living it up in Chicago right now, and it’s just having a ball exploring the city! And she just celebrated her One Year Blogiversary! So swing over there and say Happy Anniversary! 🙂
Alright! Who’s ready for a little H54F action?
1. Did anyone else’s week just fly by? How are we in September already AND at Labor Day weekend??? Just nuts. Doing anything fun for the long weekend? We’re headed off to Virginia Beach (along with every other Virginian. HAHA!) to spend time with my in-laws. I’m excited to see them and catch up! Although I’ll admit that a weekend at home sounds delightful.
2. Elizabeth had her first 2 days of her little Moms Day Out program. She’s just going 2 days a week. I’ll admit, I was SUPER nervous/anxious about her going. She is pretty quiet around new people, and I worried that she’d be a puddle of tears the whole time. But thanks to a lot of pre-school chat about what to expect, she did just fine!
After dropping her off on her first day, I went to the grocery store. It was so strange not having her with me, helping me count bananas. I also had to resist talking to myself, since I’m used to a little chatting buddy.
3. Guaranteed if it’s a quiet week here on the blog, it’s because I am swamped with consulting work. And that was definitely true this week. I’ve been knee deep in a project that was supposed to be fairly straight forward… but once I dove it, I kept thinking of all these variables that hadn’t been worked through. Such is life… nothing early mornings and late nights can’t cure. Which means I’m exhausted…. as this blog post’s title suggests.
4. What’s everyone watching these days on TV? My beloved Real Housewives shows are almost done (NYC ended last week), so now I’m on the hunt for something new. We just started Narcos on Netflix. It is excellent! Gritty – but really good. For my mommy friends, Elizabeth and I discovered a cute show all about Puffins (and they all have Irish accents!) on Netflix. She (ok… me too) is obsessed!
5. Did you see my one and only post this week?? I’m really excited about it! I’m a hopeless pie baker, and wanted to get better. So my mom offered to show me her sneaky tips AND let me record it! So if you’re hopeless at pie baking like me, head on over!
So what were you up to this week? Let me know! Or better yet, link up!
Fellow bloggers – ready to join in the link up? Just write a blog post about 5 things that made this week awesome! Add your link to your blog post down below (make sure it’s your blog post, not your blog home page!). And then grab the H54F button to add to your post! And go visit at least 3 fellow link uppers AND this week’s featured blogger! It’s just the nice thing to do.
And be sure to tag your posts/pics on social media with #H54F! We really do try to make the rounds and like, comment, retweet, etc! It’s so much fun to support one another, isn’t it?

Well now I need to go check out the puffin show! Happy Friday!
Seriously, time is just FLYING by. I can’t believe it’s September which is almost fall which is the gateway to winter! Wahhh! (I’m pretty sure I’m the only lifestyley blogger not super into fall, haha!) I wanted to go down the shore this weekend too, until I remembered that everyone else will be there, ack! haha Hope your trip to Virginia Beach is awesome and not insane!
Have a great time in Virginia Beach this weekend! I’ve never heard of Narcos, but now have to go check it out!
I talk to myself at the store all the time. Ha! Hope your project comes together and allows you more sleep next week!
Ahhh yay for a good mommy’s morning out experience! I talk to myself in the grocery store all the time. Happy weekending in VA Beach! xo Amanda
The week flew by at our house, too. Isn’t it odd shopping by yourself when you’re used to having a buddy? I tend to narrate the grocery store so I have to keep quiet when I’m alone 🙂 Good luck wrapping up your project and taking it easy this weekend 🙂
I can’t believe that August is over, either! It’s crazy! I feel like it was just Christmas! Have a wonderful weekend!

Elizabeth looks so cute! I think I’m going to watch that Narcos show this weekend! I started watching Call the Midwife on Netflix and I’m really enjoying that!

Thank you! Narcos is excellent! And so is Call the Midwife. But very different shows hahaha! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the sweet feature! I hope you have a great time at Virginia Beach! 🙂
The puffin show sounds so sweet. A few years ago i travelled to iceland and there were a lot of puffins. We could get very close to them and they were so sweet and funny. Since this time puffins are my favorite birds.
