Ayesha Curry designed your kids’ new favorite dishes to do great things for kids in need, too.

Ayesha Curry designed your kids’ new favorite dishes to do great things for kids in need, too.

by Liz Gumbinner | Baby, Kids

I already thought Ayesha Curry was one cool mom. Now it’s doubly confirmed, since seeing the latest from the wonderful company she co-founded, Cheeky Kids. CMP is an rstyle affiliate.  Starting this week at Target (online and in stores), you’ll find a...
Don’t throw out those cups!

Don’t throw out those cups!

by Liz Gumbinner | Kitchen + Dining, Party Ideas

As my NYC neighborhood catches spring fever big time this weekend, I’m suddenly digging all the picnic supplies out of hiding. One thing I could use but don’t have: reusable plastic cups. Since my kids have started using real glasses, I guess we just...

Clever personalized plates that let kids play with their food the fashionable way.

by PJ Feinstein | Kitchen + Dining

Parents of picky eaters, rejoice! The solution to your dinnertime drama might be as simple as a personalized plate… and a cookie cutter. Little Me personalized plates and dress-up cutters for kids are designed to inspire creativity with food, but I’ve...
The Bentgo lunch box for kids: Could this be a better bento?

The Bentgo lunch box for kids: Could this be a better bento?

by Christina Refford | School Gear

My kids tend to like a lunch made up of several snack-sized options, which can be such a pain to pack. And certainly no fun when they get home with a bunch of little containers for me to clean out. And while their bigger-kid appetites might be too large to be...
Dapple natural baby cleaning products: No surface left unclean

Dapple natural baby cleaning products: No surface left unclean

by Esther Chen | Uncategorized

Having a baby has been a joy, a wonder, a delight–all that warm and fuzzy stuff. But I have a confession to make: It has also made me a germaphobe. I’ve never been a neat freak, but lately, I’ve morphed into a little bit of an obsessive...
Raise your hand if you’d like your kid’s food to stay on the plate, not on the floor.

Raise your hand if you’d like your kid’s food to stay on the plate, not on the floor.

by Melissa | Baby

Meal time with a toddler can feel like a special kind of hell. Aside from picky eating, the real frustrations for me came in when my little eaters managed to throw what seemed like all of their food on the floor. If you’re the type of parent who spends countless...
3 cool new feeding utensils for babies that reinvent how they learn to eat

3 cool new feeding utensils for babies that reinvent how they learn to eat

by Kate Etue | Baby

Baby food. Oh, baby food. Some parents love it, but me, I dreaded the mess. Still, your baby has to learn how to use a spoon sometime, and that can be harder than you might think, with all of that scooping, balancing, and mouth-eye coordination. So we’ve come...
Picnic-perfect plastic tableware for toddlers

Picnic-perfect plastic tableware for toddlers

by Kate Etue | Kitchen + Dining

It’s picnic weather down South, and we’re spending most nights out on the back porch, sipping on some tea and eating dinner with the neighbors. It’s idyllic, until the kids start playing frisbee with their plates. I’m not big on plastic...
Learning dishes for kids and other educational tableware that sneak some brain food in with the vegetables

Learning dishes for kids and other educational tableware that sneak some brain food in with the vegetables

by Christina Refford | Kitchen + Dining

Mealtime is the one time my busy kids sit still for a little while, so I love that smart people are creating such interesting learning dishes for kids, educational placemats, and other housewares that let kids do more than doodle at the table. Or uh, play Candy Crush....
Kids’ dishes that are pretty enough for the grownup table.

Kids’ dishes that are pretty enough for the grownup table.

by Kate Etue | Kitchen + Dining

Here’s one of my secrets for keeping the kids well-behaved at mealtime: Avoid kids’ dishes that look like they’re kids’ dishes. Don’t laugh. I’ve found that when  kids eat off of plates with cartoons on them, it seems to set 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).

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