So my son has been asking all week about Black Friday. “What is it? Can we go? What do they do?” First let me say that I give props to all of you faithful Black Friday shoppers who have sought out sales, waited in lines, and dodged crowds. I am giving you an air fist pump right now from my recliner as I sit in my fleece leopard pajamas.
Second, I must confess to the masses, that we are NOT Black Friday store shoppers. We had a lazy morning with our crew and decided to head out to eat brunch about 10:30 a.m. We ate brunch at our favorite Mexican food restaurant, because queso, mimosas, and cheese enchiladas with eggs were calling our name. My Ladybug likes public restrooms and has a bladder the size of a pea, so two trips to the bathroom in less than 45 minutes requires a mimosa. We decided to drive around and check out the crowds and the Engineer and I agreed that we would not go to any big department stores, but thought we might take our chance walking through Lowe’s. We walked in to a kid’s table with hot chocolate, cookies, coloring sheets, and Santa pictures. Not too shabby. We made our way into the garden area to look for a new Christmas tree. BIG mistake. I had the baby in the cart, the middle riding holding on to the front, and the big riding holding onto the side. The problem with kids in crowded areas is that they make navigating that much more difficult. Workers were unpacking new Christmas items and several people were searching with ads in hand trying to find items. It took FOREVER to walk down one aisle because people kept walking in front and stopping right in front of the cart, which is like an invitation for kids to jump off and run amuck. We walked out empty handed, aside from the kids, and vowed that we are not Black Friday people.
So instead of Friday Finds in store, I am bringing you some Friday Finds via Amazon’s Black Friday deals. The perfect way to shop in my world.
My son, got this as a gift when he was two. It is a great little table and the legs can fold for easy travel.
We bought this for our daughter for her last birthday and it has been one of her favorites.
This was at the top of the list for our girl last year and she has continued to play with it all year long.
We have several Mickey lovers in the family, so this should be lots of fun.
I bought my Instant Pot last year over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. I am terrible at remember to thaw things out ahead of time and hate doing lots of dishes so this makes cooking in one pot a breeze.
I have been eyeing these for a while. Adding this to my list today.
I bought this this past summer and LOVE it. You can adjust the compartment sizes and everything fits easily into a space.
This just looks awesome and I know several boy children in my life that will love it.
We bought this two years ago and it is great for our kitchen counter. The kids take turns putting the magnet ornaments on each day.

*This is not a Black Friday sale item, but I love this wooden nativity by Melissa and Doug.
