Geeks of the world unite! Then, breed.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

Back in my day, kids wore My dad can beat up your dad shirt (well, certain kids) and they were considered oh so hilariously irreverent. We’ve certainly come full circle since then, haven’t we, because the new hilariously irreverent kids are declaring My...

Summer brights for summer babies

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

I’ve had a heart for the adorably luxe baby clothes from LA’s PAIGELAUREN baby since I found them earlier this year. The sweet pastels and softer than soft cottons are exactly the kind of shower gift that steals the stage. But now I’m excited to see...

Babies deserve a little Green Toy action too

by Cool Mom Team | Toys + Playthings

We first fell in love with Green Toys way back in the day of the lead paint recalls (aw, remember those fun days?) and knew they were onto something fabulous. Well sure enough, their line has expanded beautifully since then and today they’re doing some super...

This one is for the mamas to be who need a night out on the town

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

While we don’t tend to cover a lot of local events, we’ve got so many NYC readers (holla!) that we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you new moms and mamas-to-be about this one: Our friends at Big City Moms and The Bump are hosting a huge honking...

A different kind of nesting

by Betsy | Baby
