Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, list in hand… in the Target bathroom. (Parker’s in the stall behind me. His bladder generally alerts him of its need to be emptied when we are directly opposite the bathrooms.)
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Target or done a Target post. What’s up with that? It’s clear that Christmas has arrived at Target and it’s pretty wonderful, as one would expect. Best holiday + best store = nirvana.
When Target marks down DVDs, I swear, I could just put my cart at the end of the shelf to catch them all and start pushing from the beginning. Suddenly movies that I really don’t care to see again are just! so! good! and! only! five! bucks! We got The Town (so good) and a few others for stocking stuffers. Crazy Stupid Love! You’ve Got Mail! Dallas Buyers Club! FIVE DOLLARS!
It’s a sweatshirt, but a cute one. You know us girls love our cute sweatshirts. Add the “yoga pant” and outfit made M-F.
Born into the wrong family, sorry Anders.
This is cute, right? 
Less cute, but so many of you go to those ugly Christmas sweater parties so this should be in the running. Although, isn’t the point of those ugly Christmas sweater parties to get it at a place like Salvation Army and spend like $2? I feel like this would be cheating. (Sorry to my readers who bought this not at all intending it to be for an ugly Christmas sweater party… this is awkward.)
More cute, almost sold out trees. (Also that pillow and throw underneath that are basically cropped out of the frame so why am I pointing them out???–they were super cute too.)
Pretty cutlery!
Pretty water bottles! I like the brown one.
Ok these were awesome and if we had a larger house with a larger surface area for decorating, I might’ve brought them home with me. 
Steve and I have a night away coming up and instead of lingerie, I got that bad boy in the middle. “WHO’S YO RUDOLPH!”
What prompted a Target visit in the first place: the need for a new ice cream scoop and mounting putty to keep picture frames straight. You know, the GOOD STUFF. 
Christmas books! I want them all.
Are you kidding me Target?! If Target were a person (maybe the CEO would be appropriate?) I’d kiss ’em square on the mouth. So Anders walks over and just grabs a banana and the guy is like, “You can have it!” And I’m like, “Yeah, thanks a lot dude…(grabs wallet).” And THEN I saw the sign. 
“Mom. Did you pay for this? Are they coming after me? I already took a bite!”
I swear target trips could be a weekend update post all in itself. I am heading there today and can’t wait to browse all the things I won’t buy. Ha. Their free fruit is precious.
since target is a minneapolis company i always feel like i get credit for the good stuff they do= love the fruit offering for the kiddos!
and that rudolph suit. perfect.
xo, brittany
i’ve got a gift guide for your mama on the blog today

“born in the wrong family, sorry anders” HAHAH! my husband makes fun of me because i looove decorating with blue and silver at Christmas haha
These are my favorite posts, does that make me shallow? Haha. Also “born in the wrong family” – love it. We are a half-Jewish family (my husband is Jewish) and since Hanukkah stuff is pretty limited, when I do see a display, I end up buying everything. Oops.
“WHO’S YO RUDOLPH!” Hahahaha! Love it.
I just can’t get over Anders…ever. He is just THE CUTEST little person…and I have two boys. BUT I LOVE his adorable little face.
he is like insanely cute. i mean, he’s my kid, so duh i think so, but sometimes it’s like too much and i really want to eat him.
That pic of Anders eating the banana along w/ your caption… hilarious!
The local grocery stores in my town have all started doing the free fruit thing, and it is basically AMAZING. It means that I can pack up and go to the store on a total whim (without having to calculate how many hours it’s been since my child last ate) because I know she can eat a banana while we shop. Best. Idea. Ever.
And after reading this post, thank goodness we don’t have a Target here.
That’s all.
ha! i don’t blame you for that second to last line!
Ah,Target..I’m there multiple times a week and could fill my cart with goodies every time!
This is completed unrelated to your post, but I was wondering if your Tiny Tags necklace is the gold plated or the 14K. I have wanted one of those tags for a long time and am torn as to which one to order. Of course the 14K would be a no brainer if cost didn’t matter.
i’m actually not 100% sure! i’ll ask them!
Love some of your picks, especially the Rudolph onesie! I love that they offer free fruit too, Woolworths (Australian grocery store) have a huge basket at the front of the store filled with fruit and water bottles for kids, I think it is an amazing idea!

Since I live in Canada, aka the land that Target abandoned, I love these posts 🙂
