Whether your travels land you at a countryside villa, a beachside resort or a boutique city hotel, it’s often convenient to have most of your baby’s supplies on hand, especially when it comes to food. If you’re already toting baby cereal and pureed fruit, why not this cute Baby On The Go meal set from Delight.com to feed your little Emma or Jacob with? The bright orange set is only $25 and comes pre-packed in its own snappy bag and includes pretty much all you’d need for one or even two tots: 4 sippy cups (and 8 lids to fit them, how smart), 2 bowls with lids, 2 fork and spoon sets, and 2 small serving cups with lids. (This also makes a great gift for families with little travelers.)

Here’s some stuff to help you procrastinate your way through the day…

• Just what we needed and long overdue, a TripAdvisor of sorts for the well-heeled set. Enter Extravigator, an online meeting place where members can discuss luxury travel with others who are more likely accustomed to a certain level of service and sophistication than the general populace on TripAdvisor.  Thus far people have chimed in on topics from getting reservations at Babbo to the service at the Mandarin Oriental Miami (uh, not so good, from what we’re reading…)
• Who wants to travel with 1000 bibs? Fashion a bib out of napkins or cloths with kid-o’s kipiis, a cool and simple rubbery gadget that clips onto whatever material you have handy. Very similar to what dentists use, but way cooler – even your pre-Ker will use it. [via Mighty Goods]
• Having children along on your trips should not doom you to experiencing the tourist side of your destination – if anything, it begs for a more authentic trip that the whole family will appreciate. ForbesTraveler.com identifies the world’s Top 10 Tourist Traps, and offers more culturally relevant options.
• If you’re still questing for a fall foliage tour, try any of the spots recommended in the NY Times article, which focuses on lesser-known destinations that offer as much brilliance and fewer crowds.  We can’t vouch for this year’s show in the Northeast what with the unseasonably high temps, so call a business in the area ahead of time to check on the colors.  (As you’ll see in the article, the local chamber of commerce may not be as forthcoming about the trees’ lack of luster…)
• Many exciting places to take your kids have websites that are just as fun – a good way to prep for a visit or keep the excitement going after you’ve left.  This week, pop in to the San Francisco Symphony’s Kids’ Site, which teaches kids about instruments and allows them to compose a tune.

It’s time to start thinking snow ski instead of water ski, and with these beanies from Kangaroodle, the moms won’t be the only fashionable babes on the slopes.

When we came across these hats, we fell in love instantly. They come in 3 styles: straight up beanie, beanie with brim, and beanie with earflaps (below), and in sizes ranging from 0-6 months to 4+.  The styling and color combos will have babies and tots looking like quite the little hipsters. Now if only we could decide which one(s) to buy.
