Glow-in-the-Dark Train Set: Ready for Thomas' Area 51 Adventure

My eldest two boys outgrew their wooden train sets by age 5, but had this Glow-in-the-Dark Space Train Station been an option, I'm betting we could've gotten a good three years more out of their train table.

Featuring 100 pieces -- including dozens that glow when the lights are out -- the set is compatible with Brio and Thomas & Friends wooden train sets. Its aliens, rockets and UFO mother ship, however, open up play well beyond either of those franchise's terrestrial borders.

Mesh Cubes to Curb the Mess

Every now and then I’m overcome by a Feng Shui attack. Not in the literal sense like adding fountains to balance the fire and water energy, but trying to regain sanity by getting the house in order. The challenge is finding storage bins, containers, baskets, etc. that aren’t as much of an eyesore as the crap you’re trying to contain in the first place. But I think I found them.

Sold in sets of five, these Silver Wire Mesh Cubes from Organize.com allow you to customize a good-looking storage system for toys, clothes, linens or whatever other essentials that need a home of their own. The cubes simply snap together with plastic connectors.

$39.99 at Amazon.
