I found the absolute perfect cashmere scarf and it’s now on sale too
This past Christmas, I wanted a perfect cashmere scarf — long enough to wrap a couple of times, short enough that it doesn’t poke out the bottom of a knee-length coat. Soft enough that I can wear it indoors, tightly knit enough that I don’t end up...
Cute coral earrings: An easy, affordable way to wear Pantone’s color of the year

“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...

Just this week I started moving the fall and winter items to the front of the closet and saying goodbye (sniff) to my comfy, swingy cotton dresses. That’s when I rediscovered my favorite faux leather leggings from last year and got all excited to wear them...Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!
We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, easier, more organized, 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).
But we did.
And we still love what we do every single day.
We're so glad you're here.
