It only took my husband a good three months to install our large wall calendar system in the kitchen. And I won't even tell you how much it cost. Ouch. Too bad I didn't know about Wall Pops, whose awesome wall decals we featured in our b…
Much to my daughters' delight, metallics and glitter are a hot trend for the back to school season , but with so many options, it can be tough to pick. So we scoured the web for the coolest kicks that will let your little or big girl shi…
I've always liked BuiltNY's lunch totes, so much so that I own a few of them myself. I can assure you they've all stood the test of time. And the test of peanut butter. Now they're offering new kid's lunchboxes and brand new reusable san…
Despite having found so many cool kids' growth charts here on Cool Mom Picks, I confess I still use a pencil on the side of our kitchen wall. It's not that I haven't loved every single one of them, but they're either too pretty or too bi…
I've made it pretty clear that I'm a huge Ryan Gosling fan. I own the Ryan Gosling dish towel we recently found. (Enough said?) So if you love Ryan as much as I do, here's an excuse to stare at him a little more. The Ryan Gosling colorin…
Considering how much we love all the products from 7am enfant , I'm not surprised at all that I'm in love with their new luxury diaper bag. I've seen many a stylish diaper bag that looks fantastic but doesn't exactly hold up to the test …
Lately, my handbag has become a bottomless pit, full of everything from loose business cards to computer cords and bottles of milk and lip gloss. And my idea of using old make-up bags to keep everything separate was brilliant until I cou…
With four kids, all of whom slept for many years in a play yard, I've seen and owned my fair share. So when Cool Mom Picks got the exclusive first look at this new play yard from the inventive company 4moms, I was pretty skeptical it wou…
My love for Bensimon sneakers is no secret; I wear my own purple pair almost every day. And the kids' styles are simply adorable. So when their new style collaboration with Bakker Made With Love, well my only wish, after I recovered from…
My 8-year old is just starting to accessorize her outfits, which is probably no surprise considering I have a little addiction to accessories myself. If you've got a tween that's ready for something better than play jewelry but not Tiffa…
This October, my youngest daughters will be turning 4 and 2 and as part of our family tradition, they will be wearing hand-me-down Courtney Courtney kids' dresses . We first featured them in 2008 on Cool Mom Picks, and designer Courtney …
As minor as my kids' milestones might seem in the great scheme of things, I still do my fair share of celebrating them. All night in your own bed? Yes! So I decided that I too deserve to treat myself with a little reward for making it th…
I make it no secret that I have a huge crush on the Canadian Ryans: Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. But since I'm not 15 anymore, I'm pretty sure the glossy posters on my ceiling or calendars on my wall are out of the question. But a tea…
The aden + anais swaddlers have been a staple in my household since my second baby was born, but now that my youngest is almost two-years old, we've outgrown them a bit. So imagine how thrilled I was to learn that they've recently launch…
If you're like me, then you've got a couple of boxes in the attic with a few of each of your kids' baby clothes. Every now and then I wonder what exactly I'm going to do with them when I pull them out in ten years and they're all dusty a…
Adding to the growing list of things I know now, that I didn't when I had my first kid: I would have skipped the cheap stuff, and invested in a solid kids' table and set of chairs . We've gone through far too many to count. If you're a m…
Some of my most favorite baby gifts to give and receive are personalized, but they can often be a little tough on the budget. That's why I'm so thrilled that one of our favorite Etsy artisans has started making personalized baby name gif…
One of my favorite times of the month is when my Birch Box subscription arrives on my doorstep. As much as I love beauty products, I'm hard-pressed to find the sans-kids time to casually peruse the aisles of Sephora to find a new lip col…
I admit that a few kids ago, I'd probably roll my eyes a bit at the idea of maternity loungewear. But after seeing the gorgeous dresses from one of our favorite brands, Belabumbum, I'm almost wishing I had a real excuse to wear them. The…
The realization that it's already July is being made much easier knowing that it's also the start of Magic Beans' 31 Days of Giveaways. If you're not familiar with this wonderful mom + pop owned shop, this is the perfect opportunity to m…
Now that our neighborhood pool is open, my kids and I practically live there, Which that means I'm willing to spend more on good quality towels and swimsuits--a lesson I learned after going through far too many per kid last summer. So wh…
When I first got a look at the newest designer diaper bag design from CMP fave Mia Bossi, I thought there was just no possible way that it was a diaper bag. But like their other bags we've been drooling over for years now, it is -- and o…
With so many Father's Day gift ideas , ties aren't necessarily the first choice for a lot of offspring these days. And yet if the dad in your life actually wears ties, a tie that stands out from the crowd can be the best thing ever. So i…
During one of my late night Etsy search sessions (Yes, I like to live dangerously), I happened upon this amazing artwork that I think would my kids would love just as much as I do. And that's exactly the combination I'm looking to cover …
