Back-to-school trend alert! 5 tie-dye sneakers we love for kids.

by Kate Etue | Back to School Shopping, Kid Fashion

Naruto run to grab these Storm Area 51 meme shirts: The best designs, for all your conspiratorial fashion needs

In support of our duly elected American Congresswomen

by Liz Gumbinner | Doing Good, Fashion, Kid Fashion

On a personal level, this week has been really rough for me. The news is just filled with horrific racism, bigotry, and xenophobia directed towards elected American Congresswomen of color. And too many leaders, including those who should know better, have been bending...

When your America stands for kindness, compassion, justice, inclusion and love.

My go-to shops for the best camp basics for kids. Hurry: Big sales now!

It’s that time of year: Camp clothes shopping! Or more accurately, the time I look at the kids’ camp clothing checklist and realize we have outgrown everything and gah, where am I going to get those non-itchy navy shorts again? If you’re like me, I...

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.
