Yo Homes, to Bel Air!

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Now if I told you that Sir Hayes, the kids’ label emblematic of urban Brooklyn chic, was making a onesie inspired by “Carlton,” what would you think that means? Because when I got wind of it, right away a single image popped into my head: Alphonso...

Tiesies – ‘Cause every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man

by Julie | Baby, Kid Style

I’m all for outfitting my baby boy in some fine threads on special occasions.  But dressing a wee one in the same style sported by a forty-something man (sweater vests, anyone?) isn’t special–at least not the way you’d intended.Try a...

The Belle Baby Carrier – You Can’t Go Wrong With Denim

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

My husband is totally willing to wear the baby, so long as it doesn’t require a mei tai (too many straps) or a sling (too uncomfy on his bad shoulder). That basically leaves him with our Belle Baby Carrier, which is both easy to use and light on the back, thanks...

Agent Provocateur Maternity – Who Said Pregnant Wasn’t Sexy?

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

Now at the tail end of my third pregnancy, I admit that I feel the total opposite of sexy. The gigunda belly coupled with the larger than life butt tucked into some pretty scary maternity underpants do not help the situation. But with a little something from...

Keeping the Changing Pad Germ-Free. Yes, It’s Possible.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

I will say I think the anti-germ stuff has gotten a leeeeettle out of control for moms. Germs aren’t all bad, you know! But then I think, hm, you know where I might want a germ-resistant fabric? A changing pad cover. And it seems that BonnBonn Baby has beat me...

babysusu – Boys Love Cashmere Too

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

My mother-in-law is always bugging me about what she should get my son. Sadly, my indecision has led to a showering of scary expensive outfits (emphasis on the scary part) that just end up collecting dust in his closet. So if you’ve got a grandmom...

The Great Hoodini

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

With fall rapidly approaching, I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect jacket for my toddler son. Since I live in the South, it can be hard to find a jacket that’s light enough for our short fall season, but that’s hearty enough to get us...

The Ultimate Keepsake Baby Book – Before You’ve Even Filled In a Line

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Books for Adults

If you’ve been pining for the kind of baby book you might still pull off your mom or grandmother’s shelves when you go for a visit, why I think we’ve actually found it. Mother Stork’s Baby Book: 100th Anniversary Edition is a beautiful volume,...

What What? Monster Butt

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

I’m generally not so keen on clothes that emphasize a baby’s already cute-as-it-is butt with ruffles and words like, um…juicy. But a monster — like the one on Sckoon’s Ha Ha Tee and Monkey Pant Set? Cripes, I can’t think of anything...

A Parade of Organics

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

My favorite baby clothes were always the beefy cotton ones – just good, simple soft basics that felt cushy and cozy, that I knew wouldn’t start to look worn or faded after a few weeks of the puke-wash-puke-wash cycle. Parade Organic’s Pure Collection...

This One’s For the Fall Babies

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Hello to the onslaught of new fall babies, including my own,  thanks to those cold boring winter months and crazy holiday parties (ahem). Even though I’ve got no baby shower in sight myself, that won’t stop me from snagging one of these amazing Salvor...

Picnic Week: The Diaper Dude Blanket

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

Life’s a picnic, or so the saying goes, until you try to take three kids on one. Just when I need them all to carry something, they all decide it is too heavy, they are too tired, and where are we stopping? The fine folks over at Diaper Dude must feel my pain...
