Oh Rats!

Oh Rats!

by Cool Mom Staff | Toys + Playthings

I’m not the most experienced parent in the world, but from what I understand, I have only a few months left until my daughter asks that inevitable question: Can I get a pet? Knowing her, it won’t be any old pet; it will be a turtle or a snake or, help me,...
Bird Dog

Bird Dog

by Cool Mom Staff | Baby, Kid Fashion

In my daughter’s language, everything with four legs is a dog. Cat? Dog. Lion? Dog. Cow? Dog. The only animal that isn’t a dog is our dog who is, simply, Deh. So I had to laugh out loud at this Me Giant bird dog tee that we spotted at Chloe in Style. It...
Ant Buy Me Love

Ant Buy Me Love

by Cool Mom Staff | Toys + Playthings

Oh, the ant. The sweet, sweet ant. Yes, I love the little guys and in fact one of my fondest childhood memories includes my trusty ant farm. The memory could only be made fonder had the ant farm been instead the super-looking Antquarium. Invented in 2000 by NASA for...
Ready Sets Go

Ready Sets Go

by Cool Mom Staff | Baby, Kid Fashion

When it comes to baby gifts, I’m a huge fan of matching sets. Unfortunately they generally fall into one of two camps: the Little Brown Bear category, and the Trying Hard to be Funny (But Failing) category. And there is that rare category I call, Gotta Have It. And...
It’s All About Me

It’s All About Me

by Cool Mom Staff | Books for Kids

From among the audacious number of gifts my daughter received this holiday, I was happy (and proud) that her favorite was a book. Of course it was a special book – one personalized with her name on all the pages. Who could blame her? I thought it was just...
Just What the Stylist Ordered

Just What the Stylist Ordered

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids

If you’re anything like me, you have a whole bathroom drawer devoted to those makeup bags so graciously “given” to you when you spend a jillion bucks at the cosmetics counter. Please, leave them in the bathroom. Not only do they scream FREEBIE,...
Enter the Dragon

Enter the Dragon

by Cool Mom Staff | Kid Fashion

I’m always on the lookout for children’s apparel that straddles the line between my sigOth’s sensibility and my own. He doesn’t want her in everything pink; I don’t want her in everything Redskins. What we can agree on: These Kenji Dragon...
Tool Time

Tool Time

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids

I may not be the handiest gal around, but I’m certainly not one to rely on my significant other to handle the “big stuff.” And while you may not see me chopping logs in the backyard, I have been known to put together some tough toddler toys, some of...

mi SPA, Take Me Away

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids

I am one of those people for whom one medicine cabinet is not enough. I have all manners of lotions and potions spilling out from every available crevice and corner in the bathroom. So when I run naked from the shower shouting about the joys of some new product, you...
Balloon Animals

Balloon Animals

by Cool Mom Staff | Toys + Playthings

Ever since I got wind of the whole latex balloons are the devil stuff, I’ve been distraught. While I would hate for my daughter’s birthday celebrations to be entirely balloon free, I also don’t need to decorate the place with a bunch of colorful...
Fun, Cubed

Fun, Cubed

by Cool Mom Staff | Kids

While my home has seen its fair share of battery-operated toys that never want to turn off, I’m proud to admit that my daughter prefers her cute little handmade cloth block my godmother made for her first birthday. If your kids don’t have a handy godmother, we think...
