I am not pregnant, nor do I have any plans of having another baby any time soon. But you know what? That doesn’t stop me from shopping in the maternity section every once in a while. I know it sounds crazy, but maternity clothes have gotten that good that even women who aren’t pregnant want to wear them.
Case in point: the new fall arrivals at Old Navy Maternity. I already have 2 of the new arrivals in my shopping cart because the collection is full of cute maternity clothes. Here are 5 of my favorites:

Alas, we all can’t travel like Angelina Jolie. You know, stretched out in first class, complete with body guards and nannies for each of our kids. But if you pack these five little things for your kids the next time you board the plane, your flight just might go a little more smoothly. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll have the same wide smile as Angie when you arrive at your final destination.
P.S. I’m leaving today on a 6-hour flight to Kauai with 2 kids in tow, so I’ll let you know how it goes and if there’s anything else to add to the list. Have any other family travel tips and suggestions? Share them after the post.
