Susie’s Supper Club – I hope they’ll have me as a member
When I had a friend on major bedrest with her second child this past year, it turns out the gift of food (and our company) was the greatest help to her of all. So I simply love the services that are cropping up like Susie's Supper Club, which delivers spectacular...
Tooth fairy kits for the super organized tooth fairy
Ever since my oldest daughter turned five, she's been obsessed with losing teeth. And considering many of her kindergarten classmates have already lost two or three, I suppose she has a good reason to think about it. And that means I do too, hence my interest in this...
I love my calendar girls
I'm having the best time looking at all the beautiful new 2010 calendars that are out on Etsy. Earlier this week it was the Sure as Blue calendars and today it's the imaginative one from artist Stephanie Fizer. Her Kokeshi Darling 2010 calendar features 12...
The handbag that makes the world a better place
I love handbags. I mean, really, I love handbags -- they're the perfect accessory, because they're beautiful and practical. Your stuff has to go somewhere, after all. And right now, I am extra super in love with the Tabitha bag from HelpingHandbags, because it's...
Score one more for Scandinavia
I go a little nutty for Scandinavian design, so when I learned about the brand new online design store Vyssanlull which isn't just Scandinavian but focuses on organic, eco-friendly, and ethically-made baby clothes, I knew clicking over could be very, very dangerous....
Pick a pair of Pampers
A diaper caddy isn't exactly the most essential piece in your nursery, but when you think about it, it's pretty important. You use it several times a day, for three or four years--not even my crib got that much use. So when I saw a Toronto designer and mom had...
Giving high heels the boot
Oh please tell me I'm not the only woman on the planet (or at least the island of Manhattan) who just can't do the spiky stiletto heel thing. I know they're trendy and fabulous and make your legs look great and all - but uh, no. So I'm always delighted to find some...
One more from the yes there are cool clothes for boys department

It’s okay to let your kids play with your iPhone if they’re learning something, right?
I'm one of those moms. You know, the kind who's doing my best not to let the kids watch television or play computer games and, as a result, doesn't get a second of time to herself if her children are awake. But at the same time, I really don't want to be one of those...
Mominatrix’s Guide to Sex gives new meaning to excellent bedside reading
Most of you don't know, but my partner at Cool Mom Picks, Kristen Chase (a.k.a. the hardest working mom in blogdom), has all sorts of alter egos. When she's not finding fabulosity for you here, wrangling three kids, and writing articles all over the place, she's the...
