I See London, I See France…

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Now that Spring is here (okay, so it’s still freezing out; minor technicality.) I’m ready to get a little girlier with my daughter’s wardrobe. Is there anything cuter than little girls in sweet little dresses, with their bare, chubby knees poking out...

A Pinch of Flower

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

With each change of season I feel the call to update my jewelry drawer. It’s a sickness, I know, but with Spring in the air, I just can’t be asked to accessorize with the same old same old. Why, even the suggestion of it is shocking. So right now...

Two, Two, Two Pants in One

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

I love the concept of reversible kids clothes. And not just because I’m a shameless laundry avoider. It’s more so because I am at times too indecisive to choose between two items–I want them both. So when I came across the entirely reversible swingy,...

Boyz in the Hoodie

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

As much time as I spend on the web tracking down cool clothes for kids, I’m admit I’m still often at a loss for gifts when I hear a friend has a boy on the way. If only I liked those sailor suits, things would be a whole lot easier. And then I discovered...

Children of the Children of the 70s

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Some trends in kidswear cannot be short-lived enough. That whole pimp genre of little boys’ tees? If I never see another one again that would be just fine. But one trend I’m loving: The groovy 70s-inspired designs on kids tees, that look eerily like the...

Bed-dazzled

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

I can’t be the only mother who’s tired of seeing the same old themes for kids’ rooms, especially when it comes to bedding. Not all boys want a sports-themed room, and not all girls want a ballerina-themed room. Licensed characters are even more...

Kiss Me, I May Or May Not Be Irish

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

While I’m all for going festive for the holidays, the problem with buying shamrock leggings and an "Erin Go Bragh" shirt for your toddler is that it looks pretty out of place every day but one. But this gorgeous capri dress and green bolero from...

This Nest is Best

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

With an infant and a rambunctious toddler to chase after, I quickly relearned the value of the sling. Basically, it’s like my hoop earrings –the essential accessory that I never leave home without. But considering I’m trying to keep some semblance of...

Drool Gets Cool

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

It’s no secret among those who know me that I hate newborn bibs. Yes I know they’re essential for very drooly babies but still. They’re bibs! I’ve held out hope that analternative would come along by the time my own newborn started...

Doctor? Lawyer? Donut Tycoon?

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Anyone can print out a baby registry and dutifully purchase an infant bathtub and bouncy seat. But we’d rather find something that breaks up all the cliched "oohs and ahs" with a hearty guffaw at our friends’ showers. Take these hilarious...

This Has Grandma Splurge Written All Over It

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

I’ve heard about those grandmoms who look for any excuse to spoil their grandchildren and grandfetuses. If you’ve got one, you lucky mama, don’t send her off to buy boring essentials off your registry. She’d much rather get you the mother of...

My Milk is Cooler Than Yours

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

One of the great benefits of breastfeeding is that you don’t need to remember to pack your boobs when you head out with the baby. But once you’re onto bottles–whether filled with formula, breast milk or soy (no discrimination here)–you start...
