As the mother of a fashion-conscious tween, I am here to tell you that sizes 10-14 or so are a forgotten wasteland when it comes to outfitting your kid. Little kid clothes are plentiful and varied, but the choices taper off with each suc…
This will be the first Easter in a very long time that we'll actually be celebrating with extended family. Other than a plane flight with three young children (help!), the toughest item on my agenda will be tracking down cool Easter best…
I grew up in the heyday of Mad Magazine and Wacky Packages and clearly my son has inherited both my twisted sense of humor and appreciation for fine parody. We both did a happy dance when we saw these new kids' Wacky Pack T-shirts from 1…

We all know Alice in Wonderland is crazy hip right now, but let's be honest - not all Alicey-items are swoon-worthy. This one, however? Is. The collection of Alice in Wonderland themed tees at Pajama Squid come to you from Australia's He…
I am generally frustrated with all the embellished girls' pants out there are covered in flowers, sequins, sparkles, or (eek) all three. So when I got wind of the Sejong Dragon Pant from CMP fave Tea Collection I thought, fabulous ! Or, …

Okay so there's still snow a-plenty in my neck of the woods known as Brooklyn, but in no time it will be the season for Easter duds and Passover dinners and spring weddings and seersucker. So when I saw the custom, handcrafted neckties f…
I adore Splendid 's adult line for myself. And when I first discovered they applied trademark stripey, stretchy, soft clothes to a babies and kid line (thanks to a cousin with great taste in shower gifts ), I got a little more tingly tha…
Over the past few years at Cool Mom Picks I've seen the reinvention of the high chair, the baby carrier, the baby bottle and the bouncy chair. The last newborn essential I thought needed any improvement was the baby hat. Well color me su…
I'm not sure when exactly my humble borough of Brooklyn, New York became cool, but there seems to be evidence of it, from the occasional celebrity sightings in my local diner, to people saying, "oh you live in Brooklyn? Cool." So while a…
I know what you're thinking-- Why is the Georgia girl recommending mittens? Because I'm the biggest sissy about cold, that's why. But I'm proud to say that we have three whole inches of snow right now, and I sent my kids straight outside…
