Going to the BlogHer Conference?
The Cool Mom Picks staff can’t wait for next week’s BlogHer Con ’07. Well, almost all of us. Tina will be home being a glowing if tired new mom, but Julie, Nancy, and Laura will be there along with editors Liz and Kristen, babies in tow. If you do...
A Taste For Bourbon
I am so not the matchy-matchy type, and anyone who’s ever seen me pushing a red stroller with a purple blanket and a floral orange diaper bag will nod vigorously in agreement. But if you’re the type who would like to stylistically streamline your stroller...
Uptown Layette With Not-Quite-Uptown Prices
Unwrapping the big box that had arrived in the mail last week, I was excited that one of my parents’ fancy uptown friends had sent me a spectacularly expensive looking layette for my new baby. I was mildly disappointed however when it struck me that it was not...
Dribble Me This, Dribble Me That
We’ve officially landed in drool central at my house, and while necessity has forced me past my bib aversion, it has not yet led me to one that makes drool look fabulous. Until now. Meet my new obsession — the Dribbler from Cool Mom Picks favorite site...
Che What?
You know a trend has peaked when the parodies start making the rounds. And the best one we’ve seen yet: This new take on the already ooooold Che Guevara tee at DryGoods.com that says I have no idea who this is. While it’s absolutely hilarious on a toddler,...
Carriers That Don’t Break Your Back or Your Budget
Unless you do a good amount of research or read Cool Mom Picks on a daily basis (as well you should), chances are you will only encounter the mainstream brands of baby carriers. But as you probably know, you pay a fairly hefty price with many of them — not only...
Look Ma, No Tractors
I’ve got girls around the house. So admittedly I’m not as impacted by the shortage of cool boys’ duds out there as my friends who continually beg me to track down "clothes with no tractors." Who knew there was such a backlash against heavy...
From The Fabulous Folks Who Bring You Gouda
I have nothing against pink, especially now that my daughter has proclaimed it her favorite color. But pink plus frills, plus lace, plus spaghetti straps on an active three-year-old just doesn’t cut it around here.Thankfully, I stumbled upon kinchi’s etsy...
Made In the Shade
I can’t be the only one who, in a fit of desperation, draped a receiving blanket over the top of my stroller to shield my sleeping baby from the sun. And I certainly can’t be the only one who couldn’t enjoy the silence of a napping child because I...
Pocketbook On Wheels
Since we all know that women only buy cars based on the cupholders (is my scarcasm coming across?) the same might go for strollers. Then again, the top strollers don’t necessarily have the best Diet Coke storage, to say nothing of easy access to all your other...
Blankets By Martha. The Other Martha.
I have a friend whose son sleeps with a plastic fish every night. To each toddler his own and all, but if I were a babe picking a bedmate, I’d look at something a bit more un-plastic fishlike. Like, say, the blankets from Martha’s Baby Bundles. As a...
