Lipstick to Crayons was created by two sisters “joined at the hip” despite living miles apart. Different in many ways, yet both full of an energetic drive to create, design, and start projects (and browse the internet any chance they get!). Six kids between them, yet they still yearn to maintain their “hip & stylish” former selves.

Fab Finds Friday: Fall Travel Gear Giveaway

Baby B’Air Flight Vest™

baby B’Air Flight Vest

It is the ONLY SAFETY SOLUTION on the market for lap held children who fly.

Proudly manufactured and made in the USA, The Baby B’Air Flight Vest has been tested to exceed the FAA stress tests levels for aircraft seats. Made of comfortable, washable 100% cotton, the bright red color is easily identifiable by flight crew and is welcomed by US and foreign airlines alike. Stores easily inside of any carry-on bag.

  60. the baby b’air is very cool!!

  61. Going to New York. What a neat idea.

  62. I have the Baby B’Air Flight Vest. I have used it for two of my children. It gives you the peace of mind when traveling with those little ones. Please note that you can NOT have it attached during take off and landing but it’s good for the rest of the time. It also gives you enough room to lay your baby down to nap or breastfeed without having to take it off.

  69. My favorite product is the Roll-N-Go Rollable Diaper Caddy. This is such a great idea. I am always changing diaper bags and purses- this would come in handy. This winter we will leave Florida for Washington, D.C to visit family and hopefully see some snow.
    laylarenee[at]cfl.rr.com

  70. We’re taking the kids to Disneyland in the fall!

    akreese (at) hotmail (dot) com

  74. We are going to Aspen this winter! the kids can’t wait!

  75. We always do a trip north to visit family each fall/winter. 9 plus hours driving, this year with an 18 month old. This diaper caddy may make the trip just a little more bearable!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Leshas last blog post..The doing of nothing

  76. The Baby B’air Flight Vest is SO important! I’ve been a flight attendant for over 10 years and I can tell you how dangerous turbulence can be. It happens often, and has been deadly. I’ve even hit the ceiling once. This vest is awesome!

  77. We hit the Sierras in the winter. The kids love the snow and I think it’s just beautiful.
    gkstratos@yahoo.com

  78. My friend just got an amazing job in Vail Colorado, and she guaranteed us that would could have a room and lift tickets when ever we wanted this winter. I think we will bring Grandma and Grandpa (both ski freaks) on a little vacation this winter and then we can take turns skiing while someone watches the kids, though my son is 3 and thats how old I was when I learned, so we might have to get him some ski’s. I know, that is more winter than fall, but this fall all we’ll be doing is raking leaves and getting firewood ready.

    Pattis last blog post..Gimme more Monday

  79. The attachables shirt is pretty darn cool. This winter I’m taking the family to Squaw Valley Tahoe…for some fun in the snow!

  80. Attachables look very handy but I like the Roll & Go Caddy best!

  81. This looks great. We’re hoping to visit my parents since my dad’s going through chemo right now and would love to see his granddaughters. We’re also vacationing in the mountains with my in-laws in November.

  82. We are hoping we will be able to return to Russia for our court date for our little boy this fall :)

    heatherlbrandt (at) verizon (dot) net

  83. I am due in a week(yikes!) and have not traveled the past 9 months so this fall we will be meeting all our relatives! So off to New Jersey, Houston, State College and Boston. I am sure we will be seeing our good share of fall colors in most of these places.
    We still have not found the prefect diaper bag and this would be so helpful in having several!!

  84. winter stroller coat would be nice to have

  85. I am not traveling anywhere because of finances but if I could, I would travel to new England this fall to see the foliage. I liked the Roll and Go. Great giveaway!

  87. I love the Roll and Go!!! My boys are too big for a huge diaper bag, but I am still always forgetting something!!!! How great to make sure I have everything with us!!!

    Constances last blog post..Every Drain Leads to the Ocean…

  94. My favorite is the Attachables clothing. I doubt we go anywhere in the fall/winter except to places that are local.

  95. I like the roll and go - would be great to take along for trips this year. We are going out west for a week followed by a week in Florida. Should be interesting with a 10 month old…

  96. Hi,
    No travel plans but I do like the Attachables Clothing with removable sleeves! This is a remarkable concept and would help Moms a lot and let baby change from warm to cool weather conditions quickly!
    Thanks for the great giveaway!
    baileybobby6(at)hotmail(dot)com

  97. All of these are brilliant ideas. I especially love the clothing that you can add or remove sleeves!

    The Roll-n-Go Rollable Diaper Caddy looks like it would hold everything necessary and more!

    Thanks

  98. We are expecting our 4th baby in October so, we’ll most likely be around the house much of the fall and winter and just get out around town. The roll n go would make the trips out of the house a little easier. Thanks!

  99. Hope I’m the lucky one- we are traveling next month with a three month old!!

  100. Wonderful idea; would love to have this!

  101. We’re planning a trip to Vegas and will venture over to the Grand Canyon and San Diego while we are there too. Should be fun :)

  102. I want to get away wiht the hubby soon

  103. i think this is a neat idea

  104. We’ve been going back and forth on our presumed vacation plans this fall. We’re thinking of going to visit my husband’s grandmother and extended family down in the lower 48 and after that, my extended family also or we may just save money and do something together in our own state where we haven’t visited before. Thanks!

  105. ROLLA POOP

  106. I love the Warm As A Lamb™ Winter Stroller Cover

  107. We plan to take day trips mostly, but later in the Fall we are heading up north to Michigan’s UP~It is so beautiful that time of year.

    Please include me in your drawing
    Thanks
    ~Amy

  108. We are always traveling with the kids, just got back from arizona and will be going to pa in a few weeks

  109. We have plans in October to go visit family for a long weekend. The older kids have those days off from school, so this works out great.

  110. Roll-n-Go Rollable Diaper Caddy

  111. I love the attachables clothing - so useful!

  112. Our favorite winter plans are Disneyland. Sure, it’s crowded and packed, but it’s SO magical! I think that the Winter Stroller Coat is something I need to invest in. You never know when you’ll need it in Nebraska!

    Skys last blog post..Wordless Wednesday ~ The Two Pictures of Vacation

  113. We’ll be visiting family this winter, so we can always use travel supplies!

  114. We are planning on going to MO for Christmas. I’m not looking forward to traveling that far with 4 kids plus it’s cold there. I hate cold.

  115. the diaper caddy would be my pick!

  116. Fall vacation plans - autumn colors drive up north Michigan

  117. I am starting a new job so there won’t be any travel for us. But with twin babies, we can use all the convenience we can get with toting baby stuff.

  118. This Christmas we will be traveling with 2 year old and brand new baby to Ohio from Georgia!! This would come in handy to hold all those necessities for our very long trip!

  119. I am really looking forward to a vacation in upstate new york this fall. Its so beautiful this time of year. I can’t wait!

  120. We have no winter travel plans as we can’t really plan much with newborn twins but I sure hope to get away for even a night or at least a road trip for a weekend with the family.

    The attachables clothing is such a cool idea! Living in an apartment building, it is quite hard to figure out what to dress a baby in so I usually resort to layering which just bulks up our diaper bag. Sleeves are really tiny and would stop all the old ladies telling me that I underdress my kids
    aahaft at gmail dot com

  121. I am heading to Disneyland for vacation!!!
    So beautiful durning the Holidays!

  122. This winter I’m making a trip to see some snow, and hopefully learning how to ski.

  123. This will come in super handily when we take the family to the mountains when the leaves change

  124. We’re trying to throw together a pretty last minute trip to Disneyland in December. We have lodging and gas paid for to go to another town just an hour past Anaheim, so we are going to try to make it into a big trip to Disneyland that we might not other wise make for many many many (many lol) more years. Everything is just so expensive anymore.

    All of these items are just brilliant and innovative.

  125. We live in New England and fall is the perfect time for driving around and “leaf peeping”!! Thank you!

  126. [...] lipstick to crayons-roll in go diaper caddy/8/15/08 [...]

  128. My favorite featured product is the attachables clothing. What a cute idea!

  129. We’re planning a long drive (11+ hrs) to visit grandma & grandpa this Thanksgiving. It has been over 8 years since we’ve spent a holiday with my family, so I’m excited! I like the attachables clothing; this would be perfect for car trips too, since our car doesn’t do climate control very predictably. Thanks!

    Colleen Ps last blog post..Inside a Toddler’s Mind (Wordless Wednesday)

  130. I like the stroller coat, it is so cute and very practical for winter babies. For travel, we just returned from a week in San Diego, Ca and will be making the trip out to Wyoming to visit hubbies family this fall.
