    Keeping the Travel Madness Minimized

    Saturday, March 14th, 2009

    If you’re the super-organized travel mom or dad, chances are you don’t need this product (or you invented it).  If you’re like us, however, and are willing to spend about 25 bucks to fool yourself into thinking you’ve got it together, read on!

    Really, who wouldn’t like this travel organizer?  It’s insanely anal – and when it comes to keeping travel documents together, that’s a good thing.  (Just ask the folks on Amazing Race who lost their money & passports while running around Moscow….)  It’s got more pockets, checklists, and forms than you could shake a stick at, and a handy world map with reusable stickers – just in case you don’t know where you’re going.  At 10 1/2 x 12 inches, it’s not exactly super-small – but then if it were, we’d probably lose it, which would really suck.

    Portable Meal Set for Traveling Tots

    Monday, November 19th, 2007

    Baby On the Go Travel SetWhether 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.)
