I Saw the Sign
Considering everything belonging to my daughter is now also her little bro's, it's no wonder she's become a bit territorial about her bedroom. But trying to find a room sign that I'd actually want to hang on her door is a whole other story.Except when it comes to the...
Jazz toes, everyone! Jazz toes!
Labor Day is behind us and Fall is unofficially here meaning, among other things, that it's time to tuck those cute bare baby toes back into some socks. It's something I might be mourning more, were there not so many way freaking cute socks out there. Jazzy Toes from...
A very nice way of saying, “Shut the heck up the baby’s sleeping!”
I cannot tell you how many times my husband has busted through the door after a long day of work only to singlehandedly wake up the baby who I just got to sleep. Talk about grounds for divorce. Too bad I didn't have the Awake & Asleep friends from lovemedo....
The Mini Social – An invite-only party of the very best kind
If you want to know a little secret, we covet the amazing designer kid's clothes that we often feature here at Cool Mom Picks just as much as you do. Our pockets aren't as deep as we wish they were either. So that's why we're loving these new invite-only online sales...
Eco gift baskets for new moms – Useful, cool, and did I mention useful?
Either some people believed I actually needed twenty pink sleepers, or I got a whole lot of baby gifts that reflected the taste of the giver more than my actual needs. My favorite gifts by far were the little-of-this, little-of-that kinds of things which not only...
Cake + Milk + adorable aprons. What’s not to love?
Designer Angeline Tsao's background is actually in fashion design which helps to explain her excellent taste. It also explains why, while poking around her shop cake + milk paperie and drooling over her handmade invitations and cards, I happened to stumble on some...
Little Pharo – So it shall be written, so it shall be done with Egyptian cotton
How absolutely clever to create a line of luxury baby clothes that, instead of an alligator or polo player across the breast, feature an ankh, the Egyptian hieroglyphic meaning life and symbolizing health, happiness, and magical protection. Kind of something you want...
See Kai Run – Smaller Can Be Better
Seeing as how much I (and my kids) love See Kai Run, it was only natural that we'd jump on the chance to check out Smaller, their totally new line for the 18-month and younger set. And surprise! I love them too. It's not hard to be smitten with super cute designs...
Being Dad – Way better than trying to convince him to sit through Lamaze class
There's no shortage of books and videos and instructional websites out there for moms-to-be. But when something is available specifically for dads, it's generally absurdly goofy or some very serious cue-the-after-school-special-music sort of Hey, Dad, you're a part of...
Make lunch unforgettable
Yeah, I love fancy lunchboxes, too, but my daughter's getting to that age where she's leaving splashy behind for a more subtle sense of style. She's also leaving behind her homework, her jacket, and occasionally her lunch, depending on the day.Would it be mean to get...
