Rag and Bone personalized baby books are for all loving families. Because so are babies.

Rag and Bone personalized baby books are for all loving families. Because so are babies.

by Julie | Baby

In a way, we’re less surprised that someone has come out with the first ever personalized baby books for same sex couples–and more surprised that it took this long. That said, we’re thrilled, since we love finding baby books and baby memory books...

10 modern growth charts to measure your kids inch by inch

A custom photo gift for babies too young to make one themselves

by Kristin | Art + Decor

We all know how much babies and toddlers love to look at photos of the people they love, and so a custom photo gift can be a wonderful baby gift. But if you are like me, those puffy, plastic photo albums aren’t your idea of great nursery decor. And framed...

A lovely keepsake Valentine’s Day necklace for moms (and it’s affordable too, hint, hint)

by Kristen Chase | Fashion

I’m a sucker for personalized jewelry, especially on Valentine’s Day, but not so stoked about the expensive pricetags. But when I found these affordable heart necklaces at My Tiny Star Shining, I felt like Oprah. “You get a necklace! And you get a...

Custom portrait pendants: A modern mom jewelry alternative. (Just uh, don’t wear your own portrait.)

Tiny personalized nameplate rings from Julian & Co: proving good things really do come in small packages

by Stephanie Slate | Fashion

For all the complaining I may do about tough days with my kids –the temper tantrums, the homework, the incessant snack preparation, and on and on– there’s not a gift that makes me smile bigger than anything personalized with their lovely names....

Forget the baby book: 6 creative ways to document baby’s first year in photos.

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).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
