Welcome to High Five for Friday – hosted by Katie, Tif, Della, and Caitlin! If you want to know more, read about it here!
Don’t forget! 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 Chelsea from The Perfect Catch! She’s a super stylish mom of a toddler AND is in the final weeks of pregnancy with #2! Hooray! And hurry over to her blog NOW! She’s hosting a Fall Scarf Swap! It looks like such fun! What better way to get in the festive Fall mood (even if it’s hot and sticky!) than to get to know someone new and get a scarf? Deadline to sign up is September 15! I totally signed up when I saw that. And you should too. And you don’t have to be a blogger to join in. So don’t forget to say hello to Chelsea!
Here’s what I was up to this week!
1. Friends – I’m so ashamed. I had every intention of bouncing back from the Labor Day weekend with a full blogging week… but other things called… like finding season 5 of Dance Moms online. jk (sort of…) But this week was such a whirlwind! I had plans in the beginning of the week, but then it all just sort of spiraled out of control. Ya know? Kind of felt like…
2. Elizabeth had her 2nd week of Mommy’s Morning Out, and this time it was the full 3.5 hour slot. And she did GREAT! Her teachers said she did so well, and didn’t shed any tears… that is until I walked in the door to pick her up. Why do kiddos do that? But she has a favorite baby doll, and apparently doesn’t let it go the entire time. Mommy’s Morning Out is turning into Mommy Training!
3. Speaking of Elizabeth and school, I needed to find her a little lunchbox since they do lunch time there. If the world were perfect (which it isn’t), Elizabeth would really love to have every meal be a Bento Box. Basically a variety of foods in little containers, all separated. That doesn’t happen at home, but I thought it would be fun for school! So I picked her up a YumBox! She is in love with it. She gets so excited to see what I’ve packed for her lunch, and loves helping me put it in her backpack. They are a little pricey, but they are great quality.

4. It has been super sticky here! Anyone else? The heat and humidity makes it really hard to get motivated to decorate for Fall. I’m quickly getting into the same predicament as I did last year. I didn’t decorate my house for Fall until early October, JUST in time for Elizabeth’s 1st birthday. And then I only got to enjoy it for a short time until it was time for Christmas. I’m determined to not let that happen this year! I love my Fall decorations.
5. Speaking of Elizabeth’s birthday, we are exactly one month away from her 2nd birthday! I’ve settled on a Daniel Tiger theme, and have already procured a red cardigan sweater and a white shirt for her to wear. #priorities There are so many cute ideas out there for a theme! Here are some of my fav ideas I definitely want to try!

Source – I think I could totally do this cake!
Source – this whole post has so many great ideas! And who doesn’t love brunch?
And for a #6, my husband and I have a hot date tonight! We’re going out to eat and then off to see Jerry Seinfeld LIVE! We’ve seen him once before, in Las Vegas, but one should never miss an opportunity to see a comedy legend live, right?

Happy date night! We use the Cool Zone bento box (found at Walmart). Love it. Daniel Tiger party? How sweet! xo Amanda
I think I could eat my own meals out of Bento Boxes! They are so fun 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Seinfeld live?! How fun is that?? You’re going to have sooooo much fun. I’ve been wanting to go see a comedian, but we haven’t made it yet.
It’s going to be a great time! Can’t wait! I’ll probably snort laugh. 🙂
Oh we love Daniel Tiger- so fun! It’s been so hot and humid here but I’m slowly getting the fall decor out anyways!
Same! I figure if I wait for Fall weather to come before I decorate, it will be Christmas time! 🙂
I love that bento box! I’m thinking of getting something like that for my elementary school-aged kids. Daniel Tiger became popular right after my son became a little too old for it. The party stuff looks so cute though.
That bento box comes in many different sizes! So definitely some constructed that are better for older kids.
I feel like I need those trolley banners in my life just because I take so much public transportation! haha! I would have LOVED that bento box as a kid… heck, I still get weirded out by certain foods touching! Have a great weekend! 🙂
HAHA! I know! I love the trolley banner regardless how it matches the theme 🙂 I kind of wish I had my own Bento box too!
What a nice week! I have been looking for a bento box for Miss. E. It would be nice for the babysitter’s house. I hope you have an amazing date night! Sounds like fun!
It’s expensive for what it is, but it’s really amazing quality, and it washes up really nice. Not to mention it doesn’t leak. At all. So it was worth it to me!
Looks like you had a good but busy week! It has been super humid where I live, too. I can’t wait for cooler temps! Have a wonderful weekend!

Bring on the Fall temps!!!!
That Daniel Tiger party theme is darling!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with for her party.
I always need a theme to plan a party. And I just decided to bite the bullet and go with one she’d actually like. HAHA!
I love any post that includes a quote from Michael Scott. 🙂 Yes, it’s been SO sticky here this week and I had horrible hair and makeup because of it. Ugh. I’m so ready for crisp, drier fall air!
I’m so glad you got to have such a fun date night!
Fall Air = Better Hair! And there should really be a Michael Scott show.
I never seen that bento box lunch box. I love that!
