How not to make yourself crazy this holiday season.
I always start the holiday season with good intentions, like this will be the year that we have lots of fun and don’t stress about the cookies not getting baked and the tree not getting up until the week before Christmas. But then I’m not sure if...
Some of our favorite Secret Santa gift ideas for the whole family
One way I always bring all of my family together over the holidays is with a Secret Santa gifting tradition. Truth be told, it’s the most affordable (and let’s be honest, fun) way to exchange gifts with a large family over the holidays. I generally try to...

We are always on the lookout for the best teacher gift ideas every year, and it may in fact be one of the top gift questions we get from readers every year about this time. (Then again in May.) And hey, I get it; if there are any people on my holiday shopping list...
Hold onto your mouse ears! Disney Vans are here.
We have to say that Vans is killing it with their collaborations lately, from Van Gogh to NASA, and now Disney Vans. Now, if these are anything like their other collections we’ve featured, they’re going to sell out pretty quickly. So, if you’re...
How many times do we tell our kids, STOOOOOOP!
I have to admit, I never thought about my car’s tires a whole lot. I guess your tires are the kind of thing you don’t think about a lot — until they stop working properly. In which case…yikes. So I’m truly happy to support our fantastic...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: A new jewelry line empowering women with just three words.
If you’re familiar with Cool Mom Picks, you know that we started this site to help discover cool new businesses and products, support women entrepreneurs, and share their amazing stories. That’s why I’m so thrilled to tell you about someone I’m...Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!
We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, easier, more organized, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.
Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)
We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).
But we did.
And we still love what we do every single day.
We're so glad you're here.
Work with us!
