Style-Conscientious
Onlytwo minutes of searching the web forbabyshoes for my newly crawling little man of the house and I’m drowning in a sea of leather booties. Love leather booties, but isn’t there something different out there? Enter my saviors, Veja baby shoes, which we...

So you’re enjoying your Labor Day weekend, perhaps planning a little backyard barbecue or a day at the local pool…and now here comes Cool Mom Picks to burst your bubble. Maybe if you just worked a teeeeeny bit more or stopped taking those damn weekends off...
So Soho
I’ve come to find that a lot of smaller designers like the ones we cover use many of of the same fabrics in their bibs and blankets. Evidently there’s been a run on "black cow hide" at some fabric wholesaler somewhere. So when we find items in...
The Elephant in the Room
Please tell me that my child isn’t the only toddler in the world who sleeps with like 800 stuffed creatures in her crib. What can I say, the girl loves animals. What we don’t need is another stuffed animal. But I could justify a purchase if, say, it...

There seems to be two kinds of bibs out there – the cute ones you put on the kids for company but that leaves most of their clothes exposed, and the full body armor you haul out for spaghetti night. We’ve finally found something perfectly in between....
Now That’s a Happy Baby
Here’s a hint that I’ve learned: If you are online shopping for a swaddling blanket and the photos don’t show the babies smiling or at least sleeping peacefully, slowly back away from the laptop. At Solana Baby Wear however, it sort of cracks me up...
Adios, Baby Puke
Moms are well aware that the cute burp cloths we all get for shower gifts are rarely in reach the moment we need them. My own little spitter-upper has been wiped clean at various times by her clothes, my clothes, dirty napkins, her play mat (I know, I know) my arm,...
