That’s right honey, you can’t win

While I’ve never taken my husband to task for only buying three lemons instead of the dozen I requested (“Who asks for a dozen lemons anyway?”), I have to confess that I avoid sending him to the grocery store because…well, whatever he gets is...

No ifs, and, just lots of butts

by Betsy | Books for Kids

“Eyes and ears are much respected, but the butt has been neglected.” And so begins the masterful and hilarious The Butt Book, by Artie Bennett, illustrated by Mike Lester. Let’s face it, few things are funnier to a little kid (and those of us who are...

Prank Pack – The gift wrap that gives back. In laughter.

by Cool Mom Staff | Holiday Picks

Around my place, we’ve got a house full of practical gift giving jokers. I see the old “huge box for a teeny tiny gift” trick almost every year and humor my husband each time he does it. Well this year, pay back is going to be a you know what when I...

I got your Situation right here, baby

by Cool Mom Staff | Random Coolness

I am horrified to admit that I have, upon occasion, watched Jersey Shore. I mean uh, I was just flipping through the channels on the way to a very educational nature show and accidentally stumbled upon it. Once. For four seconds. It’s clear that this is the...

Holiday cocktail napkins that say it all

by Betsy | Food + Recipes

This year I’ll be on crutches trying to pull together the perfect holiday meal, which I’ve already realized is going to have to be super “good enough.” So, I’ve decided I should focus on cocktails, and lots of them. These fun cocktail...

The low-tech answer to high-tech organizers

by Elizabeth | Cards + Stationery

I’m so high tech that, sometimes, I need to go low tech. For those of you like me, or those who just plain reject iPads and online organizers and anything with a plug, may I recommend the MEpad from LobotoME? Okay, so you can’t surf the web on the MEpad,...

The only thing better than making photo memories is reliving them hilariously

You loved Awkward Family Photos. You haz a cheezburger. You enjoy a good FAIL. Now we’ve found one more awesome place to waste even more time on the web. At Young Me Now Me, regular people re-stage their childhood photos in hilarious ways. This giggle-inducing...

Cartoons for the thinking mama

by Rita | Books for Adults

When I was in high school, an artist friend of mine and I wrote a graphic novel during biology class featuring the adventures of our teacher’s prominent nose, thus beginning my love affair with random and edgy hilarity. If you adore the absurd, you are going to...

Let’s panic about babies! (You know you want to)

by Cool Mom Staff | Books for Adults

The funniest thing I’ve seen in a good long time is the satirical new website, Let’s Panic About Babies! which just launched today. Think of it as a cross between What to Expect When You’re Expecting and The Onion. It might even be funnier than the...

Because I’m the Mommy, That’s Why

by Cool Mom Staff | Art + Decor

It doesn’t seem that long ago that when someone mentioned The Rules, my mind leaped to “don’t accept a Friday date on a Thursday.” As opposed to, “no eating the cat litter, kids.” How quickly things change. The By Order of the...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!

Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks

We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, 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).
