Since I did so well on my Black Friday shopping spree, I’m going to shop some more tomorrow for Cyber Monday. A lot of sites that had Black Friday sales are having sales tomorrow. I still need to buy gifts for my older daughter who finally gave me her gift list and some other family members. I may even be able to buy some things for my husband this year depending on how well I do with sales tomorrow.

I was thinking about getting him a watch as I read that men like to own more than one watch. He never tells me what he wants as a gift so I end up buying him small things (if we exchange gifts at all) that I know he doesn’t even like. I saw this website for replica watches that is having a sale tomorrow. I’ll be checking it out along with some others.

As a mom who has many health issues that cause me to have problems parenting I can relate just a bit to what Kelly is going through. Kelly was diagnosed with Leukemia on Thanksgiving Day. She has been hospitalized ever since and will be so for at least a month.

Kelly’s daughter Jenelle has a rare form of Epilepsy, called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. Her seizures are not easily controlled and she has many other health problems and developmental issues too. Imagine how difficult it must be for Kelly to be sick and away from Jenelle?

I can’t even think about it, but Kelly is being as strong as possible as you can see from her blog Jenelle’s Journey.

Now here’s the really important part, we can do something to help Kelly, Jenelle, her son, and her husband. We can pray and send good thoughts their way. And we can join Bonnie from Autism Family Adventures by donating some money to purchase some gift cards. The family needs help with groceries, gas to travel back and forth to the hospital and some gifts for the children to help them through this difficult time.

Even a few dollars will help and you’ll feel so much better by doing this.

Instead of actually going to the stores to see if I could get any of the Black Friday sale items I needed, I found a new way to save money but get those low priced gifts. I shopped online. It was easy and it was exciting too.

There was no need for me to wait out in the cold early in the morning, fight the crowds and then get frustrated to find that what I wanted wasn’t there. Nope. All I did was take a long nap after eating a big Thanksgiving meal. That’s a given anyway! Then I just stayed up very late online.

I had all of the product names with the stores ready. I had already signed up for a Black Friday newsletter which kept me up to date on when sales were starting, additions to sale items, etc. So I waited for emails to come in about when the stores sites would start the sales.

As soon as the email hit, I went to work! I got a lot of my shopping done in about two hours.  My best deals were a Disney bathrobe and pajamas for $12, a compact flash for under $20 and a special DVD for $6.

I plan on making this a yearly event now. For those of us who have trouble getting out especially when we know it will be crowded and hectic this is the way to get your shopping done easily.
