I am absolutely fascinated with these posters, which bring classic toys to life in new...or old ways really, by use of vintage patent drawings. The Slinky Poster from art collective Oliver Gal might be my favorite, with it's 40's-era textbook style industrial...
aden + anais just made summer a little cooler. Babies everywhere say thank you.
My daughter was born smack in the middle of the summer, so it was a constant battle to find fabrics that kept her comfortably swaddled but not too hot. Luckily, a new line of baby blankets and sleepwear from one of our favorite indie labels, aden+anais, makes it...
Go Dutch with this dashing (and affordable) stroller from Nuna
The thing about high-end strollers is this: sometimes it's hard to imagine spending all that money when what you really want is a fancy vacation. Or an iPad. Or gorgeous new patio furniture. Not every family needs a break-the-bank stroller. Especially now that there's...
Making your walls a little more literary

Independence Day indeed: the best indie shopping in celebration of the original 13
Of course today isn't just about barbecues, sparklers, and if you're lucky, a big fireworks display that kicks off a four-day weekend. It's about those awesome forefathers (and foremothers, ahem) of ours who transformed the original 13 colonies into the beginnings of...

Forget the baby book: 6 creative ways to document baby’s first year in photos.
Baby books and photo albums are great, though we love how so many people are getting super creative in documenting their baby's first year using photography. Still, "super creative" doesn't have to mean "super hard" as you can tell from these inventive and adorable...

Cool Mom Picks loves Kids Place Live
It's not a secret that we're big Kids Place Live fans here at Cool Mom Picks. In fact, I'm pretty sure there would be a mutiny in my care if I tried to change the channel, especially during the Absolutely Mindy show, our afterschool staple. So when my daughter Quinlan...
