The new Spanx maternity line: totally unnecessary or total godsend?

I found the absolute perfect cashmere scarf and it’s now on sale too
This past Christmas, I wanted a perfect cashmere scarf — long enough to wrap a couple of times, short enough that it doesn’t poke out the bottom of a knee-length coat. Soft enough that I can wear it indoors, tightly knit enough that I don’t end up...
Cute coral earrings: An easy, affordable way to wear Pantone’s color of the year
When I first heard about the Pantone color of the year being coral, I was uh…not thrilled. Unlike Caroline who can totally wear coral and look gorgeous, I’m a winter (remember that?) and orangey-pinky-brown colors are not generally the best for me. That...

4 cool black sneakers for people who would rather be wearing anything but sneakers
As anyone who knows me knows, I’m not a sneaker person. I mean I love the comfort, I’ve just always felt more…dressed, when I’m in boots or booties or basically anything but sneakers. But recently I’ve discovered a few pairs that are...

We’ve been watching the news in shock and horror as fires ripped through California this past week. We know many friends and family who have been affected, and in an effort to lend some support, we’ve shared some ways you can help. And well, we just got...Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!
We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, easier, more organized, 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).
But we did.
And we still love what we do every single day.
We're so glad you're here.
