Our favorite space themed toys and kids’ gifts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Our favorite space themed toys and kids’ gifts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

by Kate Etue | Books for Kids, Kid Fashion, Toys + Playthings

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing on July 20th, and our kids are so excited about it. Considering it’s an event that happened way before they were born, I love their enthusiasm. In fact, my son just checked out a bunch of moon...
When your America stands for kindness, compassion, justice, inclusion and love.

When your America stands for kindness, compassion, justice, inclusion and love.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion, Kid Fashion

If you’re shopping for some flag-adorned July 4 wear for the kids, and the standard stars-and-stripes stuff in the big stores isn’t jumping off the shelf at you, here’s a totally different way to go, and I love it:: The América la Estupenda American...

This year, Pride Month is a particularly big deal. It’s the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which is a sobering reminder how far the world has come in terms of LGBTQ acceptance and inclusion. But at the same time, rights of LGBTQ individuals, families,...

by Liz Gumbinner | Kid Fashion

It’s that time of year: Camp clothes shopping! Or more accurately, the time I look at the kids’ camp clothing checklist and realize we have outgrown everything and gah, where am I going to get those non-itchy navy shorts again? If you’re like me, I...

by Liz Gumbinner | Beauty + Cosmetics, Doing Good, Fashion, For the Menfolk

Sometimes our favorite picks come from readers like you. Sometimes they come from friends. Sometimes they even come from our own kids, which is the case with The Phluid Project and I am kicking myself for not having shared it sooner. But now that they’ve hit...

The awesome Spiderverse t-shirt that reminds us anyone, even Hello Kitty, can wear the mask.

by Liz Gumbinner | Entertainment + Media, Kid Fashion

Last week I discovered this fantastic Into the Spiderverse t-shirt on Woot! by comic illustrator Adam Koford (A.K.A. ApeLad), I figured it would be blow up. But now that Into the Spiderverse won the 2019 Oscar for Best Animated Feature last night (and deservedly so!)...

The new clothing line that lets kids protect endangered species in style.

by Caroline Siegrist | Kid Fashion

As an animal lover and toddler mom, I am so taken with the new line of animal-adorned clothing in the new collection from Art & Eden and Animal Planet. Not only are the tees and dresses adorable, they help support Project CAT, a World Wildlife Fund initiative...
Polished Prints tees are empowering, positive, and giving us all the good vibes.

Polished Prints tees are empowering, positive, and giving us all the good vibes.

by Kate Etue | Fashion

“Mom tees” are everywhere lately. But the trend seems to have capitalized on complaining about motherhood, and I’m starting to push back a little on what that says to our kids. They range from variations of need wine/need sleep/need a husband who...

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.
