When you research enough to give the very best

by Carrie | Baby

I like giving the best gift at the baby shower. Call me competitive, but I just feel that as a mom of two young kids that I should be better equipped to pick out the perfect gift than Great-Aunt Mary who still thinks the baby should be sleeping on her stomach and has...

Fancy pants kids clothes for up to 70% off.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

When one of my favorite local shops is having a 20-70% off clearance sale, I’d be remiss if I didn’t drop everything I’m doing, head to the website, and click on every single category immediately. You know, just to see. In this case it’s...

Baby clothes as cute as the baby (or maybe even cuter)

by Susan | Baby, Kid Style

I’m a total sucker for baby clothes — so tiny! so cute! — but my standards are pretty high. When I saw what San Francisco-based Speesees had to offer, I started wishing I were still in the baby-making business.Speesees pieces (fun to say) are...

Hot diggity, that’s comfortable

by Mir | Baby

It started with two brothers complaining that their booster seats were uncomfortable; five years later, their parents run Diggity Kids, proud purveyor of American-made comfort travel systems for kids who need more cushy digs in the car. All three pieces–seat...

Makes kids out of the bath as cute as they are in it.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

My daughter has a crazy affection for her little bathrobe, especially now while the mornings are cold. She throws it on over her pajamas for breakfast, and there’s something so sweet about it to me – as if a bathrobe makes every morning feel like a lazy...

Sweet dreams are a good gift for moms, too

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

My parents can’t help it – they see something cute for the kids and they buy it. I suppose that’s The Prerogative Of The Grandparent. My only hope is that their version of cute is my version of cute (and that it doesn’t happen to be loaded up...

Organic baby clothes that will make you, and your baby, feel incredibly comfortable

by Betsy | Baby, Kid Style

There are lots of reasons to buy organic. From cucumbers to clothes, I  believe that the less processing and chemicals involved in my day to day life, the better. And, just as important as what things are made from is also how they’re made. Which is one of...

Ultra comfort especially for the uncomfortable

by Mir | Baby, Kid Style

If you have a kid who just puts clothes on like it’s no big deal, you’re a lot luckier than you probably realize. For those of us with a child with sensory issues, clothing is one of a million battles we fight every day. For most kids with tactile...

Move over Snuggie.

by Stephanie Slate | Baby

The stories are true. It gets darn cold up here in Canada in the winter. The kind of cold that makes your kids stand inside, shivering as they look out the front door, let alone open it and walk out. So, if we ever want to go anywhere at all then we have to do...

Oh goodie!

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Some of my kids’ favorite tees come from San Francisco’s Bunny and Bee. When we first discovered them a few years back, I fell in love with their modern but not obnoxiously hip t-shirt designs for boys and girls, from motorcycle-riding robots to retro-chic...

Winter bump style

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

Oh I know how it is. You’ve got a May due date (or so), and while you swore you wouldn’t buy one more maternity piece, you hit January and your current wardrobe is causing actual mental anguish, you’re sick of the cold, you’re sick of feeling...

Score one more for Scandinavia

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

I go a little nutty for Scandinavian design, so when I learned about the brand new online design store Vyssanlull which isn’t just Scandinavian but focuses on organic, eco-friendly, and ethically-made baby clothes, I knew clicking over could be very, very...
