The Best Sleepwear Sets for Family Travel

Traveling as a family is exciting—new places to see, foods to try, and memories to make. But when bedtime rolls around in a hotel room, cabin, or Airbnb, things can get… interesting. Kids are wired from the day’s adventures, parents are exhausted, and suddenly everyone realizes the sleepwear situation isn’t ideal.

Packing the right sleepwear sets makes a surprising difference. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about making bedtime smoother, keeping everyone warm (or cool), and ensuring that when the morning comes, you’re all rested enough to enjoy the trip.

So what sleepwear sets should families bring on the road? Here’s a guide to the best options for parents and kids alike.

Tips for Picking Durable Shoes That Survive Kids’ Rough Play

If there’s one universal truth about kids, it’s this: they can destroy a pair of shoes faster than you can say “back-to-school shopping.” One week you’re lacing up brand-new sneakers, the next you’re staring at holes in the toes, Velcro that no longer sticks, or soles that look like they’ve been through a construction site.

So, what’s a parent to do? You can’t stop kids from running, climbing, skidding, or inventing games that seem specifically designed to test the limits of fabric and rubber. But you can be strategic about the shoes you buy. Over the years (and after more than a few shoe-related regrets), here are the things I’ve learned about finding pairs that actually last through rough play.

Look at the Sole First

The sole is the shoe’s backbone. If it’s thin or flimsy, it doesn’t matter how stylish the upper is—it’ll wear down before you know it. For kids who drag their feet, ride bikes, or play endless games of tag, you’ll want a sole that’s both thick and flexible.

From Day to Night: Styling Luxury Party Dresses for Every Occasion

Versatility is what modern fashion does best. The days when luxury dresses only came out for black‑tie events or red‑carpet appearances are long gone. Now, with the right tweaks, a statement party dress isn’t just for midnight—it can carry you from a morning coffee to a big night out. The real trick lies in styling, not the dress itself. If you’re browsing Party Dresses, the question you should be asking is: how many different ways can I wear this piece and still feel amazing?

Morning: Tone It Down, Keep It Cool

Wearing a standout dress before lunch might sound bold, but it works if you dress it down cleverly. Throw on an oversized blazer or a chunky cardigan to soften the look. Trainers or ankle boots instantly ground things and make the outfit brunch‑worth rather than ballroom‑ready. Keep the extras low‑key: small hoops instead of chandeliers, a roomy tote instead of a tiny clutch. The vibe should feel intentional but laid back—like you didn’t have to try too hard.

Hello Autumn Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I do a little mother-daughter bonding at a cupcake class! This time,. Sweet Designs by Jennie had a new design for us to all try out. We actually have been going for roughly a year now, which is absolutely wild, and she is still coming up with new classes for us to do. This specific set of six cupcakes were actually a custom order from last year, that someone asked for, and Jennie felt it would make a good class design! We’ve been doing bouquets and wreath classes previously, so having just six to do was a shorter class then we’ve had as of late.
