The one trick to make sure your child’s face mask fits properly, to comply with the brand new CDC recommendations.

by Liz Gumbinner | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Kids, Tips + Tricks

After 18 months (sigh) it’s now clear that we’re past the point of “any mask is better than nothing” for preventing Covid spread, especially with the Delta variant here. In fact, just this weekend, the CDC issued new, specific recommendation...

If you’re having trouble sleeping, Dream Powder helps naturally.

by Cool Mom Staff | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing

This is a sponsored message from Beam If there’s one thing parents can unify around it’s that we could all use a lot more sleep. (Well, we all pretty unanimously like Ted Lasso too. But that’s another story.) The one issue: It’s hard! Our minds...

Where to find at-home rapid Covid tests, kid-sized KN95s, and other essentials you may need

by Caroline Siegrist | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Tips + Tricks

At-home rapid Covid tests isn’t the only thing we’ve been on the hunt for lately. With cold and flu and yes, yet another Covid-19 season upon us, I’ve been making a list of a few essentials so that my family isn’t scrambling if we do come down...

by Liz Gumbinner | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Podcast

When Kristen wrote a viral post last week about wearing crop tops over 40, in response to a conversation with her daughter, the comments from our readers were so inspiring, we knew we wanted to discuss body positivity further on Spawned. Interestingly, we each have...

The single most important thing your kids can do after they’ve been vaccinated from Covid-19

by Liz Gumbinner | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Thinking : Parent

I can hardly express the relief and utter joy we’ve felt over the past few weeks, since my teens got their first Pfizer vaccines against Covid-19. The feelings increased substantially since their second shot — knowing they can safely see friends, go to the...

10 cool vaccination t-shirts that let people know, even when you’re walking around (safely) without a mask.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion, Health, Fitness + Wellbeing

Vaccination t-shirts are more than a trend, they may be kind of important to you. I have seen so many people tell me that they are thrilled to be vaccinated, they’re ready to take off their masks outside or with friends — but they don’t want people...
Hand sanitizer cute enough for an Easter Basket? Sign of the times.

Hand sanitizer cute enough for an Easter Basket? Sign of the times.

by Liz Gumbinner | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Kids

A few years back, kids probably wouldn’t have considered hand sanitizer as a “cool” Easter gift like they would a funky lip balm or a springy AirPods case. But this year, OLIKA, who makes the cool, natural -hand sanitizers shaped like cute birds,...
Do I need to start double masking? The safest mask options and when to wear them.

Do I need to start double masking? The safest mask options and when to wear them.

by Kristen Chase | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Tips + Tricks

Over the last week, I’ve read a number of articles recommending that we start double masking to increase the level of coverage we’re getting. Even Dr. Fauci says that it’s just “common sense.” And let’s just say, when Fauci talks, I...

Your questions about vaccine safety + Covid-19 answered: Dr. Perri Klass | Spawned Ep 223

by Cool Mom Staff | Doing Good, Health, Fitness + Wellbeing, Podcast

If there’s one thing we’re all talking about right now, and maybe even tearing up about (if you’re Liz), it’s the long-awaited arrival of the Covid-19 vaccines. So we invited the most perfect guest to sit down with us: vaccine expert, NYU...

My favorite essential oil for all your de-stressing needs. And mine.

by Liz Gumbinner | Health, Fitness + Wellbeing

I tweeted this week that I’ve become the person who carries essential oils in my bag for stress and anxiety, and wow, it turns out I’m not alone! A lot of people asked what I like, the best essential oils I’ve found so far, hail from Aura Cacia....

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!



 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
