Baby Clothes and Accessories for Fall

I have a little niece now and I find myself looking at baby clothes all the time. I had forgotten how cute the clothes are for babies. Here are some of the outfits I found. Aren't they adorable! If only I could squeeze my 10 year old into this stuff.

Here's my sweet little niece wearing a fancy hat. Isn't it so small. 

Casino Hotels

Have you stayed at a hotel that is also a casino? If you've ever been to Vegas I'm sure you have! Marriott has multiple properties that are hotels and casinos.

We have stayed in tons of hotels that are also casinos with our kids. It's usually quite fun, especially if they have childcare like the Palms. Casino hotels usually have multiple restaurants including buffets and Starbucks. They typically have fabulous pools and spas. My favorite casino pools in Vegas are The Palazzo, Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, Golden Nugget, Cosmopolitan, and Caesars. Some even have shopping and shows. In Vegas almost all the casinos have shopping. Caesars and Planet Hollywood basically have their own malls.

6 Kid's Travel Necessities All Parents Need

Traveling with kids brings an assortment of travel challenges. Here are a few items that will hopefully make your next trip easier.

A sun shade to help the kids stay more comfortable in the car.

If you are traveling at night then it's nice to have a portable light. My daughter reads a lot in the car, so this comes in handy.

If you are in the middle of potty training then you will literally be thrilled how much easier the fold-able potty thing is.

Going through airports with young kids? Get them a trunkie. It's a carry one and they can ride on it through the airport.
