I tend to think my Fluerville Mothership bag is big enough to serve as a travel bag. If you are looking for something larger, however, this GetAway bag is extra roomy–perfect for holiday travel.

Many other discounted styles are also available. You can check out all of the sites Giesswein offerings at endless.com.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying decorating with wall decals. Not only do my sons love them, but I think they’re lovely and, most importantly, easily interchangeable (not permanent!) They’re unexpected when placed as the sly fox depicted is—in a low-to-the-ground spot, peeking at you mischievously. They’re fun for kids to find and look at (just ask my one-year-old about the animal decals in his room—he’s delighted by them) and this one is sophisticated enough to go in a room that has been decorated with fun in mind but also careful detail. Only $7 from Etsy seller greywolfgraphics, I think it’s just the right whimsical touch for our playroom.

A friend of mine pointed out to me that they have the cutest costumes at oldnavy.com and I have to say, she’s right! The prices are outstanding, with full bee, dog, and other animal costumes going for $16.88! My favorite piece is the $9.88 Glow-in-the-Dark Skeleton One-Pieces for Baby.
