Happy Thanksgiving, cool moms!
May your day be filled with love, laughter, and lots of turkey and stuffing. Thank you for being the best readers ever. Happy Thanksgiving! -Kristen, Liz, and the Cool Mom Picks team [poster via Paper Wing Prints]Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!
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.
