NOURI bars: Healthy snack bars from a small company on a big mission to help end hunger.

NOURI bars: Healthy snack bars from a small company on a big mission to help end hunger.

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

It’s a good thing when a new snack bar helps you feed your own children healthfully, but it’s even better when it also helps you feed a hungry child. NOURI is a new snack bar company with a big social mission to help end hunger. For every bar that you buy,...
Superfruits: How to pack 5 favorites as part of a super-boosted, healthy school lunch.

Superfruits: How to pack 5 favorites as part of a super-boosted, healthy school lunch.

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

Though there isn’t substantive research behind claims that Superfruits Save The Day by helping you live longer (seriously, be wary of such grandiose claims on food packing), some fruits are just plain better for you than others. In fact, there are a handful of...
Healthy back to school snacks: 4 delicious food trends every parent should know about.

Healthy back to school snacks: 4 delicious food trends every parent should know about.

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

I’m a sucker for new food trends, but I usually wait to see what sticks–and what I really like, of course–before spreading the word. Let’s face it, not every new food product is worth reporting (looking at you, green ketchup). Sometimes,...
High protein snacks: A healthy snack trend parents can get down with. (Just in time for back to school!)

High protein snacks: A healthy snack trend parents can get down with. (Just in time for back to school!)

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

As much as it drives you bananas, it’s true: there’s no way to control what or how much your kids eat at lunch. (Say it with me: I’ll pack healthy food, the rest is up to them, everything will be fine.) The biggest worry for many parents is that...
Babyganics: The safe spray sunscreen we’re using, because it actually works.

Babyganics: The safe spray sunscreen we’re using, because it actually works.

by Kate Etue | Beauty + Cosmetics

Parents everywhere groaned when we heard the recommendation earlier this summer that parents should stop using spray sunscreen because of the danger of inhaling the stuff. Not to get alarmist (you can also tell your kids to close their mouths when you spray?), that...
A gorgeous baby grooming kit that makes you dread nail clipping duty a little less

A gorgeous baby grooming kit that makes you dread nail clipping duty a little less

by Stephanie Slate | Baby

When I was the parent of a tiny baby, it sometimes felt like I worked in a salon with all the hair brushing, scalp exfoliating, nail clipping and face washing going on. If only I’d had something as beautiful as the new Rhoost Baby Grooming Kit to make it, well,...
Phin and Phebes: Gourmet ice cream worth its salty caramel

Phin and Phebes: Gourmet ice cream worth its salty caramel

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

The freezer aisle in even the most conventional market these days offers gourmet ice cream in every flavor imaginable. I’d started to think that this ice cream social was at maximum capacity until I tried Phin & Phebes, and oh boy am I glad that...
Here come more healthy kids snacks, if the Goodkid Kickstarter takes off.

Here come more healthy kids snacks, if the Goodkid Kickstarter takes off.

by Stacie Billis | Food + Recipes

We’re always searching for new delicious and healthy kids snacks, and we found another snack bar to add to the list. Goodkid bars are made with a short list of simple ingredients and I like that they have only 6 grams of natural sugar. For perspective,...

Pharmaca delivers an eco-conscious, calming shopping experience. That’s a good prescription.

by Julie | Beauty + Cosmetics

We’ve covered tons of smart skin care and beauty products, along with natural and organic products for babies and kids over the years. As in…tons. And so I’m really excited to discover so many of our favorites at Pharmaca, a natural, integrative...

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.
