Picky people holla! Then go cook with Yummly.
Although it makes my southern grandmother fan herself and say, Lawsy, I'm not much of a cook. When I do need a recipe, I hop on the internet and zap from recipe site to recipe site, trying to find just the right one. Oh, and it has to be dairy-free and be utterly...
The huge summer sale that’s molto bella at Estella
Estella is one of our favorite NYC boutiques, and it's also Italian for star. (I mention this only because it makes me crave Italian cream cake.) While Estella definitely sells the kind of designer kids clothing that makes you wish for a bigger budget, they're...
Target scores two new celebrity baby clothes collections.
It used to be that celebrities went and made their own line of exercise tapes (yes, tapes), or salad dressings or bad handbags. I'm so glad to see that now some of them are getting into the children's apparel business, with some decent results. In fact, two new lines...
Dr. Seuss chuck taylors – We do like them Sam I am
I didn't think it was possible to love Converse sneakers any more that I already do until I stumbled upon their new line of Dr. Seuss shoes and--surprise!--my obsession continues. Now, I don't think I could get away with the adult versions, though my 20-year old inner...
Happy Fourth of July cool moms!
Whether you stay up late enough for fireworks this year or you're lying in bed in the dark, fingers crossed that the loud noise does not wake the baby (PLEASE GOD DO NOT WAKE THE BABY), all of us at Cool Mom Picks wish you a Happy Fourth. May the drinks be cold,...
A little retro red, white, and blue
I'm all about dressing my kids in festive attire when a holiday rolls around, but I prefer when I can put them in it well beyond that one special day. In other words, no "Happy Independence Day 2010" tees for us today. [don't miss the one day discount after the jump]...
The Cool Mom Picks Guide to surviving Disneyland
We're hardly Disney fanatics around my place, but that doesn't mean I don't have a princess loving daughter who still gets giddy at the sight of Ariel and Tiana. And so, I was pretty excited when we were invited on a press trip to check out Disneyland, California...
The picnic blanket you’ll actually use… I promise
I'm always kind of envious of those other more-prepared-than-I-am moms. You know the ones: They have an extra sippy cup when one falls on the ground, they carry Band-Aids everywhere, and they're never without an extra snack or two. Ah, but do they have a picnic...
This travel cup suits me to a tea
I'm not a coffee drinker. (I know, I know, there must be some part of the mom gene that I'm missing.) Needless to say, I kind of feel left out in the mornings when everyone else is sipping a fancy latte or iced coffee at the school drop off and I'm standing there...
Youtopia
I'll be honest -- as an art teacher, I was once opposed to rubber stamps. Then I realized that giving children some handy, thoughtfully designed building blocks for their two-dimensional world can be the perfect springboard into confidence and imagination. The...
