Even burly babies love Smoochie.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Baby

We call my baby Big Hoss because he’s burly and loves all things rugged– trucks, Star Wars, and motorcycles. But when it’s diaper changing time, Big Hoss is now a fan of sweet, sweet Smoochie Baby.This baby body care line from the uber-cool store in...

I holla for Soapwalla!

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

Writing for Cool Mom Picks is pretty much my dream job, and I get to review some truly amazing stuff. I can shout at the top of my lungs about how much I like a product, but the real test is this: Did I go back and buy more? When it comes to Soapwalla Kitchen, the...

Organic hair and body products that smell like heaven. Not earth.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

Babo the bunny won’t put up with animal testing. He wants everything to be vegan and organic, and he believes that hair and body solutions for kids should be just as high-quality as the products used by adults. Sheesh, Babo. No wonder you started your own line....

Turns out pampering does come in a tube

by Susan | Uncategorized

I love the way my kids smell after their bath; all of their products — shampoo, soap, lotion — have light, fresh scents. Bath lines for grownups can be cloying in comparison, but baby bath products don’t work on my super dry skin. Thank goodness for...

Body Sense – Perfect sense for every body.

I’m a strong, empowered woman, and I hate asking for help, but…sometimes, I need help. Like when the yogurt is pushed all the way back in the case at the store and there’s a baby strapped to my chest. Or when I’m trying to wade through all the...

A natural way to keep the lice away. (Ew. I know.)

by Cool Mom Team | Uncategorized

I first discovered Fairy Tales Hair Care when our one awesome local kids hair cutter – the one who didn’t cut my girls’ bangs on a 45-degree angle with what I imagine to be a rusty butter knife – insisted that it was the greatest stuff on...

Pure. Good. Purgood.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Kids

Sometimes I have a major case of the Holden Caulfields when I’m looking for bath products worthy of my children.  They say “all-natural”, and I cry, Phony! Fake! Liar! and snarl at the petrolatum and mineral oil hiding behind the organic aloe...

The hot new baby gifts of 2010, courtesy of Hoppop

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

We saw a whole lot of baby gear (a lot) at the ginormous ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas last summer, but very little stays with us all these months later. One exception however, is the cheerful European Hoppop Baby gear, which Kristen, Julie and I all made a beeline for,...

Makes kids out of the bath as cute as they are in it.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

My daughter has a crazy affection for her little bathrobe, especially now while the mornings are cold. She throws it on over her pajamas for breakfast, and there’s something so sweet about it to me – as if a bathrobe makes every morning feel like a lazy...

Fight germs without becoming “that mom”

by Mir | Beauty + Cosmetics

I’ve got a bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse, as I’m sure all of you do, too. It feels like an imperative, even though I’ll pick actual soap-and-water hand washing over hand sanitizer whenever I can. So when I first heard about “a new hand...
