My Favorite Black Friday Deals (2018)

I’m not a big, jump out of the bed at the crack of dawn to stand in line in the cold on Black Friday shopper. In fact, I have never done it.

I’m more of a stay in the warm bed with a cup of coffee and scroll through Amazon’s deals on Friday or Saturday or maybe even Cyber Monday kind of shopper. If you’re like me, and you don’t want to leave the house in order to find some good deals, I have a few of my favorites listed here for you. (This isn’t an expansive list, but these are some of my favorite things! And no, I don’t have any affiliates with these companies. This is solely for your benefit as my reader.)

Moms of Men Online Course

I haven’t written a lot here on the blog about my experiences parenting or struggles I’ve had in that regard (although that’s about the change…look for an announcement on that in the next week or so), however last year I had a come to Jesus meeting with myself when I realized I have no idea how to raise boys….or young men. So I looked to someone who does.

Lisa Bevere has raised FOUR boys into grown godly men who are all serving in ministry today. If you are like me, you want to learn everything you can from those who have gone before us and paved the way.

After a very difficult weekend at the end of last year, I woke up and bought/invested in my family this Moms of Men course from Lisa Bevere with Havilah Cunnington. Between them, they have 8 sons and decades of ministry, and I wanted to glean from that.

This course CHANGED my outlook on raising boys, CHANGED my parenting and I would venture to say CHANGED my life….and the future of my boys’ lives.

And this week ONLY, the 12-session (plus 5 bonus sessions) course is on sale for 60% off. DO NOT MISS THIS!! You can find the deal HERE.

Storiarts Bundles

This week ONLY, Storiarts has their bundles on sale for 30% OFF. I can’t put into words how much I love these scarves and totes. They have three bundles available for the book lover in your life (or forward this on to your significant other as a little hint!). The three bundle options they are offering are the Little Women bundle (pictured on the left), Sherlock Holmes or Pride and Prejudice. You simple must check out their website. They have some of the coolest products including headbands and baby blankets and more. Find this deal on their website HERE.

If you are interested in only a scarf though, Amazon has a selection of them right now (including the pictured Sense and Sensibility scarf) for $10 off right now.

Instant Pot

If you know me or have followed me for very long, you know I’m not a cook! I don’t enjoy cooking. I am not a pro at it. But alas, I have a family of 6, so I must cook. My husband was a hero and bought me an Instant Pot last year. Now I recommend it to everyone! This magical machine has saved me countless times when I’m focused on writing or editing until the wee hours of the afternoon and have completely forgotten about dinner…….No worries, the Instant Pot cooks chicken and meat from frozen in mere minutes. There is even a crock pot feature! Anyway, if you’ve thought about it for a while but haven’t wanted to spend the money, here’s the push you need! On Black Friday several stores have the Instant Pot on sale.

Walmart: Instant Pot LUX80 8 Qt 6-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker (save $40 on the 8-quart model starting at 10 p.m. EST on November 21)
Kohl’s: Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker (the 6-quart version of the Duo model is going to be $70 off at Kohl’s starting 3 p.m. CST on November 22 during their Door Buster deals—you’ll want to act fast, since it will only be valid for a limited time)
Target: Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker (also on the Duo model, starting 5 p.m. EST on November 21). This one also comes with a $10 Target gift card with your purchase.

Last, but the opposite of least…
