Some people think having a sense of environmental awareness and a sense of humor are mutually exclusive. This awesome kids' Mensch t-shirt featuring Sammy Davis Jr. proves them wrong. In fact the folks at Curly Monkey take irreverent and…
I admire the smart momtrepreneurs out there that have created alternabibs that don't look like bibs. Because as I've made very clear, I really hate bibs. But I hate changing my 4-month old's clothes three times a day even more than I hat…
We're already completely smitten with the offerings from Westcoast Baby , so when we heard that this two-mom team added track suit sets in toddler sizes (woo!), we couldn't wait to take a look. Created with their signature soft stretch c…
A bib is not something that makes you gasp upon opening the package. It's just not. Whatever combo of terry or cotton or vinyl or whatever...it's a bib. So why exactly did I gasp when I opened the Bibbie from Dilly Dally ? This beautiful…
All three of my kids love to take baths. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they love to wash themselves. Enter MiniMitts by BellyLaf. These cute bamboo/cotton blend wash mitts are the eco-friendly version of traditional bath mitts. Embell…
With my newest daughter's wardrobe full of gender neutral green and yellow hand me downs, I'm always on the look out for adorable pink baby clothes, preferably clothes that aren't covered in cupcakes and rainbows. Nothing against either …
I just checked out one of the designer hooded towels from Tess & Tallulah, and once again I'm smacking myself upside the head and wondering where they were when my babies were cold and wet and drying off with some scratchy, sub-par, thre…
While I swear by slings and baby carriers for making my life easy and my hands free, they are not made for moms who like to carry a diaper bag. And while I've tried to stuff a diaper, some wipes, and my keys in those teeny pockets a few …
I've seen my fair share of diaper clutches, but none like JJ Cole 's new Tactic Changing Purse, a diaper changing pad that makes a smart new addition to their super line of parenting products. Unlike the other diaper clutches I've used, …
If there's one thing that I love in a bib, other than the fact that it actually works, is not having to fight with my baby to get it on. And thanks to Cheeky and Swank's magnetic baby bibs , I don't. Sure, the bibs' magnet closure makes …
We've come across a few prepacked maternity bags and I have to say the idea is generally better than the execution. The bags often have these huge ugly logos on it that say something awful like NEW MOMMY ON BOARD and they're filled with …
You know what a baby can never have too much of? Okay. Sleep. Right, you got me. But other than sleep, and poops that smell like roses? How about baby booties? Well in our house, the answer would be yes, considering I can't keep track of…
I guess you could say that I'm the token eco-skeptic among the Cool Mom Picks writers. Before you start throwing rotten tomatoes at me, consider what this means: If it's green and crunchy and I rave about it, then it really is spectacula…
Today is the official start of the Year of the Ox ( Niu in Chinese), and if you're into Chinese Zodiac, you'll know that good things are predicted to come. Especially if you've got your own little Ox on the way. We love the idea of celeb…
For a guy who sets the thermostat at a level approaching "sauna," it baffles me that my husband loves to take the jogging stroller on errands even when the temperature sinks below forty. While he dresses himself properly in layers, he te…
Who was the evil mastermind that convinced moms they needed to schlep around gigantic, ugly quilted diaper bags in order to carry baby essentials? Personally I like bags like this Everyday Bag from Christy Studio , which is stylish enoug…
Hooded towels are pretty much a requisite baby registry purchase, but most of the big shops that moms register with offer the thinnest, scratchiest, least absorbent towels in the world. I know. I've been there, as have my poor shivering …
A few days before Christmas, I decided to visit a large indoor craft show, jam-packed with cool, one-of-a-kind items. I arranged for a sitter to watch the kids, got directions and was ready to go. Then, it snowed. I wish I had known abou…
I've proclaimed my disdain for bibs so many times that it would only make sense that my third baby would be the drooliest of them all. Seriously, it's like a tiny river flowing down her chin. So I'm sorry to say that bibs have become a r…
Not exactly sure how it's happening exactly, but my children are apparently growing. No, really. One minute they've got a stocked closet of clothes, and the next, I'm like shoot...how come all the t-shirts are coming to their elbows? I t…
It took three tries, but I've finally got a baby who has enjoyed his bath right from the very start. Although his enthusiasm is such that I practically have to wear a rain slicker while bathing him, it also makes it pretty fun to try out…

We're lucky enough to have a great-godmother (is that what they're called?) who has made a gorgeous quilt for each of our kids. But if you're not as fortunate as we are, then you can always commission one from Olive Jane Designs . Design…
I pity the fool who gives me a hard time for using the phrase I pity the fool in this review. That said, I pity the fool who does not appreciate the camp genius of this Mr T shirt and onesie . It's beautifully handmade out of felt and fr…
I have really come to appreciate the joys of baby leg warmers lately. In the winter they're great over tights or to add another layer under the pjs. In the spring and fall they're just fine on their own instead of tights - and way easier…
