I Smell a Mutiny

by Cool Mom Team | Entertainment + Media

We love all the favorite kid’s music artists, and by golly, we sure hear enough of them at my house. However, after playing Parker Bent’s new release "I Am Your New Music Teacher" the other day, my daughter is definitely jumping ship. A...

This Little Light of Mine

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

There’s a few things you don’t realize the importance of until after you have kids. Okay, there’s a lot of things, but as of late, it’s night lights. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I’m pretty certain our new toddler bed child will...

Little. Hand-Stitched. Different.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

If you’re the type who prefers your child in slightly more interesting clothing (coughGAPcough) than every other kid on the block is wearing, we feel you. So does designer Heather Flottman. Her online boutique, Lilliputians NYC, is packed not only with fabulous...

Your Greatest Masterpiece

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

Let me guess: The baby’s room is a dream come true – wallpapered and bordered, with hand-painted initials hanging from the wall. It’s perfectly coordinated, straight out of a magazine. The funny thing is, your 6 week-old does not care if his Moses...

I’ve Taken Back My Coffee Table

by Cool Mom Team | Uncategorized

I finally put my foot down, and cleared all the puzzles, Play-doh, and crayons off my coffee table. Call me crazy – I like to be able to put my feet up at the end of a long day and not get glitter and glue all over them. Thanks to our cute, hand painted table...

They’re Foreign and Hard to Say, So They Must Be Cool

by Cool Mom Team | Kids

As a half-Chinese girl, I admit to being somewhat obsessed with all things Asian. However, that does not mean that you will find me (or my daughter, for that matter) wearing chopsticks or plastic sushi barrettes in my hair anytime soon. You may, on the other hand,...

These Designs are a Chou-In

by Cool Mom Team | Helpful Services

While I love the loose picture inserts in announcements and holidays cards, I find that it’s very hard for the picture to actually make it out of the card and onto my fridge without getting crumpled, folded, or dirty. That’s why I like the photo cards over...
