So, so cute!

LOVE paperless post. It has changed my thank you note/invitation/holiday card style form chaos to classy!
Being a mom of two boys…I fell in love with Red 21 Boys after seeing in on CMP.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/swim_trunks_for_skinny_boys.php
Flatten Me Books! It’s my ‘go to’ gift, all the time. Kids love seeing themselves in little mini-adventures (my son LOVES the pirate story – all about him!)
Sweet stories and adorable pictures, such a great product.

I love Polarn O. Pyret …https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/12/we_resolve_to_bring_you_more_a.php
I have a list of items I want purchase for my little guy. These clothes rock!!
I learned about https://www.polarnopyretusa.com/ from your site. I bought my daughter a windproof/water repellent fleece jacket from them. The quality is excellent and this way I don’t have to load her up with too many layers when there is a cool wind but the temperature outside is pleasant.
Definitely one to put out there is red 21 boys — have used and referred a number of people to this storefront —

was so happy to find flip & tumble!
https://www.flipandtumble.com/index.html
love their bags – simple and practical.
I love so many brands that you post on your website! The one that has really helped me when my second daughter was born was the Aden + Anais swaddling blankets. I love them and now it’s my favorite baby gift to give! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/05/tegu_building_blocks.php
I first found out about these wonderful Tegu blocks here on Cool Mom Picks, and I love their products as much as I love their philosophy on giving back and sustainability.
I found out about Minted from you when you started posting about them a while back, and I have never seen cuter designs for cards and calendars etc. https://www.minted.com
Etsy! I discovered Etsy through you!
I found these awesome silhouettes from Le Papier Studio! Love them!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/laser_cut_my_love.php
I fell in love with Kate Quinn Organics on a quest for solid colored onesies:
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/12/solid_basics_for_kids_reader_q.php
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/10/illustrating_childhood.php
I had never heard of Etsy before reading Cool Mom Picks. I especially love the prints of little girls reading that I bought from Sarah Jane Studio.
I love so many things you guys present but my kids are in love with the “friendly monster” set from wee knits. There are some toys you just know they’ll take out every single day, these little guys are it. I bought them the same day the post went up and haven’t looked back since.

Shokay! Love fingerless gloves!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this baby gate! I was dreading the day where we would have to put up the old ugly gates! Thanks so much!
I’m so excited to see this, I can’t even tell you!!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/02/a_stylish_baby_gate_i_kid_you.php
I love the Popina Swimwear. I ordered several things from them and now am not as shy about taking my toddlers swimming. Now the kids can’t surprise me with a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of the YMCA swimming pool. Also I have received very good customer service from Popina. In fact, today I’m looking there for something to wear when we go on our trip to Hawaii.

I love all their stuff. Great personalized items for Birthdays.
I found the Aden and anais swaddlers through your site. Two children later and I still love them.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/12/published_editors_best_of_2010.php
This was your headline:
“Design your own jewelry without an RISD degree”

I love cupcakes so you got me when I say this- cupcakes for grown-ups! =)
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/02/cupcakes_just_for_grownups.php
Just one of my favorite finds is blik surface graphics! Thanks!
i found one of my fave clothing brands, kicky pants, through cool mom picks!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/11/kicky_pants_girls_dress.php
I love the muslin pieces from aden + anais! I love the material and that it’s thin and breathable – and the prints are gorge!
https://adenandanais.com/shop/cozysleepingbags.aspx
I love The Vintage Pearl (and I am not just saying that because they are part of this give away!) Such cute, stylish, yet subtle sentimental jewelry. I’ve recommended them myself to all kinds of moms and I love that they are affordable too. That helps when you already have a mommy necklace and then have a “surprise” #3! 🙂
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/07/ditch_your_daughters_lead_pain.php
I’m loving Muddy Cloud, they have such cute stuff – thanks for turning me on to them.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/12/muddy_cloud.php
I found Wee Gallery thanks to you guys:

I decorated my daughter’s nursery with their decals and canvases and it turned out beautifully!

Love Rowdy Sprouts (and psychobaby!)
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/swim_trunks_for_skinny_boys.php
I totally needed this!
WOW, there are sooooo many I could list. Honestly and very sincerely, I have come across so many great finds on Cool Mom Picks. BabyHawk has to be one of my favorites (we used and abused our’s and it still looks like new – and my daughter looooooved it, for 18+ months!):

The Dr. Seuss Chuck Taylors!! These shoes are so cool I wish they came in my size!

I really cannot wait to try one of the monthly food sampler boxes from this site!

I’m a HUGE fan of handmade toys. I just about fell over with glee from this post.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/06/three_cheers_for_the_handmade.php
thank you for introducing me to minted.com… they had the greatest designs for calendars at the end of last year, things you don’t see everywhere. i love their labels and cards, too.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/11/coolest_photo_calendars.php
Found out about Little Dudes Only! Love that store now 🙂 Has such cute clothing for boys that i can’t find in the stores in my town 🙂
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/cute_boy_clothing_-_yay.php
Still don’t actually own any of these swaddlers but still dream about them!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/08/aden_anais_go_organic.php
This line you featured makes me swoon! Their designs are just gorgeous!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/even_one_of_the_pickiest_girls.php
You’ve linked several times to Lisa Leonard designs and I love that website! I just ordered my first mom bracelet. I never thought I’d like “mom jewelry” but thanks to you I’ve found a simple, beautiful bracelet I adore!!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/04/lisa_leonard_necklace.php
I found Olligraphic stationery through CMP!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/05/personalized_notecards_for_kids.php
I discovered Etsy through cool mom picks — not sure which site part exactly, but the site as a whole!
The post last week about Yummily.com has already become one of my favorites too.
Just as I was ready to throw in the towel with all invites electronic, I discovered Paperless Post, which is not only environmentally friendly, but tres chic as well. I have used this site for thank you notes, invites, and announcements — all for a fraction of the cost of sending these through the mail. THANK YOU.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/09/special_gift_to_say_goodbye_to.php
I love this store!
See Kai Run! I love the quality of their shoes. They still look great even after 2 girls wearing them.

Love the Plum Organics pureed snack pack things:
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/09/plum_oganics_mish_mash.php

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/a_reusable_bag_for_all_your_gr.php
I doubt I would have go gaga without you! I love these bags, which are the answer to our search for a durable, dad and mom friendly diaper bag. I love your website and love your picks!
I’m not sure it counts as a brand, but you got me hooked on DarlyBird: https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/what_can_you_get_for_15.php
And so, so many others. I think I’m walking/talking add for y’all.
Again, I use CMP for unique gifts, and you guys turned me onto P’kolino products, starting with this, which has been my go-to baby gift ever since:
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/06/pkolino_book_buggee.php
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/be_still_my_heart_the.php
Love this shoe brand!!
I discovered Paper Culture through you guys and have been using them ever since for all of my holiday cards. https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/10/holiday_cards_already_paper_cu.php
You brought See Kai Run to my attention, and my daughter wore those styles almost exclusively until she grew out of them. We have many hooked friends though!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/08/trendy_back_to_school_styles_a.php
Love Polli and first saw them here, mentioning their sturdiness resisting newborn finger tugs. You’ve featured them many times since, and their durability is true, but I am also addicted to their designs for necklaces and earrings!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/03/every_rose_has_its_anodized_th.php
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/06/snack_wash_dry_repeat.php

I love the Cake Lingerie! Its nice to be a mom and sexy! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/04/let_them_wear_cake_lingerie.php
Vincent shoes! I LOVE their shoes and heard about them first here. I now recommend them to all my friends. I have a little boy, and it’s hard to find cute shoes – but Vincent has done it! Thanks!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/02/whats_better_than_cute_kids_sh.php
I learned about Abe’s Market from you in the post entitled “Abe’s Market is fabulous. Naturally.” https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/10/abes_market_is_fabulous_natura.php
These recycled wooden signs – this has been my go-to housewarming gift (and also a b-day gift) once you highlighted them.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/art_that_tells_it_like_it_is.php
Pick just one?! Out of all the awesome links that you guys put out? I suppose I’ll choose a very recent one: https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/02/meal_planning_just_hooked_up_w.php#more
Food On The Table is such a time saving tool! Thanks for all the great work you ladies do to bring us such great web content every day.
I have to say Modern Bird Studios.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/04/this_mothers_day_i_love_you_wood.php
I love art and special art that pops is even better. This post prompted me to start following Modern Bird and led me to purchase art for our home that I LOVE, as well as gift certificates for family. I love Modern Bird work so much. I try to support smaller, independent artists, and Gregg and his wife fit that to a “T.”
I think I first heard about momAgenda from you! Was probably this post right here!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/12/getting_diaper_bag_or_handbag_organized.php

I’m obsessed with Aden and Anais’ muslin sleeping bags and swaddles.
Thanks!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/02/whats_better_than_cute_kids_sh.php
Vincent Shoes are among my favorites! I love that they are flexible, comfortable, durable, affordable, and fit my son’s wide feet. Best of all, they go up to larger youth sizes and have really fun, funky designs…definitely a plus for my little “Look-at-me” guy!
I loved finding this cardboard plane available from Arte Bebe – they have such great stuff!!!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/07/cardboard_airplane_toy.php
Still thinking about this scarf
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/12/gifts_for_girls_shirin_scarf.php

I am a big fan of etsy and these birth prints are very cool!
I bought two capes at Little Capers. I love them because with a little imagination they can keep my kids busy on a snow day.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/04/step_aside_batman.php
Well, I loved Quiet Hours Toys, and my heart broke when they closed (along with my wallet).
A close second is whitney smith, I love her unusual designs (the cake plate with the bird? awesome).
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/12/im_dreaming_of_a_white_christm.php
Love my Timi & Leslie bag! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/05/timi_leslie_diaper_bags_hannah.php

I’ve found so much great stuff there. Art for my daughters room, clothes, shoes, you name it. I look forward to 9AM every day to see what’s new!
I’ve been with your site since 2008 while pregnant with my first….and I have seen some very cool things. However- I am most recently finding I have no me time anymore (just added two more boys to the fam) and BIRCHBOX has been one find I cannot get enough of!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/11/birchbox_monthly_beauty_subscription.php
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found the post you did on organization helpful. I hadn’t heard of this book and I am looking forward to reading it!

I love Little Capers! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/04/step_aside_batman.php
I love how they are appropriate for boys and girls, and how they get to do the superhero thing, without crazy corporate branding.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/06/snack_wash_dry_repeat.php
i found these just when I was starting to feel bad about all the plastic baggies I was throwing out – awesome idea!
THanks

It is so difficult to find cute baby clothes…not after I found this post!
Love Mabel’s Labels because their no iron-on labels are not only cute, but have survived the wash
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/06/lol_with_mabels_labels.php
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/07/terralina_good_to_skin_mama.php

I’ve found lots of amazing products and stores from coolmompicks but the first that came to mind is the Figs and Ginger mommy necklace:
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/11/mother_necklaces_fig_and_ginger.php
After reading that I sent the link to my husband as a *hint hint* for Mother’s day and it worked 🙂 I LOVE my necklace, I never thought I’d find a mommy necklace that was both stylist and beautiful! Thank you and Happy Birthday!
I LOVE the simplicity of Lisa Leonard’s necklaces. I have one and it is fabulous- I can wear every day with jeans and it also works when I go out.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/04/lisa_leonard_necklace.php

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/08/when_owen_wilson_talks.php
I love your blog on The Green Book. I teach at my local University about the importance of living a more sustainable life for our generation and especially our CHILDREN’S Generation. I like ideas that are simple, do-able, and fun for people to add to their lifestyle that don’t overwhelm them and make them feel defeated or like hairy, wilderness nomads 🙂
Great book idea for anyone looking for a simple fix or change that will provide a healthier, greener and happier world 🙂
Thanks for the Green Shout Out!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/11/aden_anais_burpy_bib.php
I just can’t get enough of Aden + Anais! I wish I would have known about them with my first.
https://posterous.com/
perfect for our family to keep up with what’s new with my daughter & it’ll be an easy way for my sister to send us all pics of her 2 little ones coming this summer 🙂
CMP introduced me to Abe’s Market where I’ve found so many products I would never have heard of otherwise!

As a new mamma I was set on finding affordable baby decor and clothes that fit my style, so I was thrilled to learn from you about DwellStudio for Target.
I saw the Bravado Bliss Nursing bra on your site, bought one and LOVE it! I recommend it to all of my nursing gal-pals!

I love the Aden and Anais swaddling blankets! They’re perfect for so many things besides swaddling! I always have one in my diaper bag and car!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/08/aden_anais_go_organic.php
The Aden and Anais blankets- I read about them here and felt convinced to buy the light muslin blankets as my son was born in the crazy 100 degree heat in Texas. I love their size, versatility and beautiful designs!
I love this!! MomAgenda planners…the perfect size and look great too!!

I love all of See Kai Run shoes…so cool for boys and girls!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/be_still_my_heart_the.php
You’ve mentioned https://www.seekairun.com/ numerous times in shoe-related posts, and I have found them to be the most amazing and comfortable (and reasonable) shoes for my toddler, since he started taking his first steps. Thanks!
There are so many, and reading these comments I found a few more…
But I love: https://www.greenobambino.com/
and got my kids the N is for nigiri and D is for Dim sum tees!
I totally love Minted, and am so glad you posted about them. Used them for my holiday cards, and also made a super sweet calendar of my girl for my Grandpa’s Christmas present.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/11/coolest_photo_calendars.php
I also love the Flip & Tumble bags as well!

In my hunt for baby gates, you guys found this one https://www.infantgates.com/product/numi-dark-wood
and I love it!!! So nice to have safety that doesn’t cheapen the look of your house 🙂
In general, I don’t think I knew about etsy.com until I started checking CMP out. One of my first purchases from etsy (now many) was one of these for my sons room. It was the perfect wall filler behind a crib- less concern of any artwork falling on him.

Oh, there are so many brands CMP has introduced me to, I could be here all day… but one that stands out is Yellow Label Kids: https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/07/doughnuts_for_babies_homer_simpson.php. I have the donut rattles, the pool ball rattles, the soft cookie play set and the street food (pizza slice, bagel w/schmear and soft pretzel). Love ’em all, and love even more that they’re fair trade. Thanks, CMP!
I love Olliegraphic stationary. The designs are so simple, yet they totally look like the child they are meant too.

The Vintage Pearl is a great way to personalize your necklace with clever charms and stones. And I wouldn’t be caught without a momAgenda – NOT ever! Love it!
Vintage Pearl is a beautiful way to show off those you love most! And I wouldn’t be caught without a momAgenda – NOT ever!

I LOVE all the Mom Agendas! They’re super-easy to use for every schedule in the family and they keep me so stylish!
You all introduced me to erincondren.com – amazing! I ordered a life planner and I am constantly getting compliments on it!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/06/if_you_were_turning_232_youd_w.php
I discovered Polarn O Pyret through CMP…and let me tell you, it has been wonderful. I cannot comment enough on how durable, wonderful, stylish, and all-around amazing these clothes are! Thank you for all the work you do!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/04/polarn_o_pryet_hits_the_us.php
I love the baby hawk. Of course I wouldn’t have known about it without CMP.

Courtney Courtney
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/04/courtney_chu_tee_dresses.php
I love OXO’s awesome BPA-free food storage and serving containers. Sending Spencer to school every day with a nutritious lunch is enough work, knowing that these are a better alternative makes things a lot easier! They’ve got tons of other products, too!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/oxo_bpa_free_snack_servers.php
I found so many new brands and shops. One of my favorite is Happy Chickadee – I found them when you did a post about their 100% sales donations to One Day’s Wages. https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/cuteness_for_a_cause.php
Great store, great choices, and responsible too! Awesome!
I lurve me some Aden and Anais. https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php
I heard about them from a friend who swore by their swaddling powers and then I read about it here and that completely sealed the deal. They swaddlers are awesome but the prints and subtle tones with basic designs are why I can’t seem to get enough, even though my baby is almost out of the swaddle completely.
I found out about Etsy, long long ago on your site–my favorite place to go to for gifts of every kind! And also Quiet Hours Toys (sniff, sniff), where I got so many beautiful things for both my kids. Thanks!
I love these bags https://www.flipandtumble.com/shop.html#shopperjumplink. Love the colors and how small they get when you are not using them.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/brooklyn_in_da_house_and_da_je.php
this jewelry is so amazing! i actually love the woven pieces more than the metal ones in the article, because they are so unique! thanks for the tip!
Not that I didn’t know about Williams and Sonoma before but it wasn’t really on my radar until you posted about their awesome Star Wars cookie cutters and pancake molds as well as some awesome shoes from stride rite that my munchkins would die for.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/08/may_the_force_be_with_you.php
Plum Organics – I love the convenience of the pouches AND that the food tastes and smells better than the other brands. How often does your husband say “What’s that? It’s making me hungry” when you open up baby food with meat in it?? Um, only with Plum!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/09/plum_oganics_mish_mash.php
I discovered Zom-b through your color-your-own Valentine contest: https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/02/cool_mom_picks_readers_have_a.php
I’ve bought several shirts for me and my husband from Zom-b. We love them–they are very funky and original and get compliments on them all the time.
I learned about Jack’s Harvest from you guys and I love pretty much everything about it! Heart shaped, frozen, organic babyfood that tastes like real food, yup, it’s fabulous.
I love my momagenda which I found via following cool mom picks, I recommend them to all my friends all the time!!

Who says colic only lasts 3 months? I could not have made it through the first 6 without having these to swaddle my screamer in.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php

Love these swaddling blankets! I used these for my almost two year old son when he was first born. Since then he now uses them for his lovey. We have them in the car, in his crib, etc….so soft and withstands tons of washing. I give these as gifts now!
https://foodzie.com/#
I’m such a foodie I loved this link…
I think I have already commented about this but Relish is for sure the site I use most often. We love it.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2008/10/because_even_busy_families_sho.php
Thanks, CMP!
I discovered P’kolino through CMP. Haven’t made any purchases yet, but I have a feeling some of their puzzles and whatnot may end up in the easter basket this year. I also love the post that features this kids desk.

Loved this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/12626747/i-love-you-to-the-moon-and-back sooo much! Still want it for my daughter.
I learned about aden + anais from your website. When I received one of their blankets from the hospital when I had my second child, I was so excited! And thanks to your site, I knew how to pronounce it!
This is such an AMAZING idea! My daughter wants my keys more then any toy she has.. it makes getting the keys out of her hands so i can drive quite the experience lol With these, from this store i can now have her in a peachy mood and let her play with her own “keys” lol
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/02/kleynimals_solve_the_great_car.php#more
So many brands, not sure what to pick! Have to say it’s Olliegraphic. Both this post and the follow up holiday ones made me a huge Olliegraphic fan! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/05/personalized_notecards_for_kids.php
I have loved everything Dante Beatrix has made (now Beatrix NY, I think). From their backpacks to their water bottles, they have the cutest things, especially for my boys!

I will be ordering these for my son- hope it will fit his big baby body & for shower gifts- so darn smart!
I can’t swaddle worth a flip, so when I saw this link https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/swaddling_blanket_for_swaddle_impaired.php
I had to check it out. My son was huge when he was born (10lbs 12.5oz) and didn’t work in the normal receiving blankets, so these were an awesome addition to his layette!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/04/polarn_o_pryet_hits_the_us.php
Polarn O Pryet caught my eye here at coolmompicks. I’ve ordered clothes for my daughter there and they are cute & durable.

Itzy Ritzy is now one of my favorite places to keep tabs on. Love their shopping cart cover. I feel so cool when I use it.
Handiest baby food ever; we’ve taken it to the mall, to Grandma’s house, on car trips to Portland. Convenient, organic, and non-messy. We love Plum!

I have TOO many baby carriers, but my favorite for my babies when they are little is definitely the Rockin Baby Pouch. I actually have 2!! (depending on my color mood)
I believe you highlighted “Glam Globes” in your Christmas gift lists. I went immediately and bought 4 of them for close friends. They LOVED them!

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php
Like other people here, I’ve found so many things here over the years.
One I’ve gone to over and over and over (and for baby shower gifts) are the amazing swaddling blankets at Aden and Anais, which I found through you in 2007 (https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php).
So thanks!

I have since bought numerous bars for myself, and many for gifts. I follow their newsletter too, and am always intrigued by the family and their goats.
I just love Boxed creations and actually ordered some for birthday gifts! I love anything that encourages imaginative play! So cool!

Now I have another fun site to go to!
I have such an obsession for diaper bags ever since becoming a mommy and when i found Petunia Pickle Bottom on your site (https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/the_mary_poppins_bag_goes_orga.php), i fell in love. So Thanks! 🙂
Love these!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/07/safe_glass_dishes_for_kids_fin.php

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/01/diy_shirts_for_kids_from_octopi.php
Tickly Octopus (great name!) has cute and fun diy t-shirts – I found them through your site and love them!
I love Hopscotch Kids — the natural nail polish that you guys featured around Halloween. My daughter’s so keen on those kinds of beauty products, but it’s hard to find ones whose ingredients don’t make me cringe.
In fact, my husband painted all the neighborhood girls’ fingers and toes this morning!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/10/natural_nail_polish_for_kids.php
This one is just an amazing project I learned about through CMP. Seed exchange, amazing!

I love https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php these blankets!

I love so many of the brands that i first found here. i really love all the links to etsy sites that i’m now obsessed with.. but i’m currently obsessed withAden + Anais swaddling blankets. I have an 8 week old girl and just love them!
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php
Well, I love alot of brands, companies, ideas you have featured on your blog. However, the one thing I have really enjoyed discovering was Joy’s blog…https://www.ohjoy.blogs.com/. I read her blog and love the design aspect…It is an aspiring blog and I love to read it!
Love the Rigley teethers! https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/11/the_ringley_teether_family_jus.php
Also, pippalily! Some of our favorite and most used items.
You turned me onto Etsy- I had no idea that this wonderful site existed like the River Rock Shop at Etsy
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2011/02/i_love_you_etch-a-sketch_shirt.php
It’s hard to pick the fave brand I’ve started using since finding them on your blog. My top 3 are:

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/06/snack_wash_dry_repeat.php

https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/07/a_crib_with_a_view.php
modern crib design has come so far- au revoir and good riddance to the bars!
Maybe I’ll be lucky if I enter a second time (on a different day!). There are so many brands CMP has introduced me to, I could be here all day… but one that stands out is Yellow Label Kids: https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/07/doughnuts_for_babies_homer_simpson.php. I have the donut rattles, the pool ball rattles, the soft cookie play set and the street food (pizza slice, bagel w/schmear and soft pretzel). Love ’em all, and love even more that they’re fair trade. Also love aden + anais for Little 77. Thanks, CMP!
tea collection! should i be glad or upset? they are so lovely, but hard on my wallet! and the new women’s section? amazing!
We used See Kai Runs almost exclusively, until my daughter grew out of them. 🙁 You first introduced us to them!https://www.coolmompicks.com/2010/08/trendy_back_to_school_styles_a.php

Seven Smooches was a favorite of your finds for me. I love the whimsy of their products that tie in with books and reading. I love having tons of books around the house for the kids to pick up, and having some accessories around to make reading even more fun is a bonus! And of course the Mother Goose glasses we quickly purchased with the cyber monday deal.

I love Planetjill! I dont know what I would do without my photo necklace. Although now that baby #2 is here I guess I need a new one. Two sided or both babies in one frame? Decisions, decisions…https://www.coolmompicks.com/2006/07/journalist.php

Again, I use CMP for unique gifts, and you guys turned me onto P’kolino products, starting with this, which has been my go-to baby gift ever since:
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2009/06/pkolino_book_buggee.php
Hands down, this one is my favorite! I emailed it to my friends and husband hoping that somebody will gift this to me for birthing out this 2nd baby really well 😉 if not, then I’m just going to have to suck it up and gift it to myself!

I found Mom Agenda back in July (7/7) I am on my phone and it won’t let me copy the link.
I love these Adin + Anais blankets, thanks to you I found them when I was preggo with my 1st. Both my girls use them at nap time at daycare. I have one that goes with me in my car and I give them as gifts for baby showers. They are so versatile. I also have the sleep sacks and burp clothes which you also recommended.
https://www.coolmompicks.com/2007/01/the_perfect_swaddling_blanket_.php
