Parents of kids with food allergies: Your digital savior is here
Food Content Alerts may have a dry name but it's not at all a dry idea -- a website and mobile app that helps you navigate the difficult and sometimes scary world of "no, he can't eat that either but thanks." I'm lucky that my kids are (knock wood) thus far,...
It’s nice just to be nominated. But still…
We were very happy to find Cool Mom Picks on the shortlist for best fashion mommy blog on The Bump. But we were more excited when we realized that if we win our category, we could win a $100 gift certificate to Pottery Barn Kids . . . and then give it to one of you....
Yubo – The BPA free lunchbox that practically packs itself
Now's the time in the school year that moms are figuring out whether that cool lunchbox you bought for your kid actually does the trick, or whether it was more cute than functional. Luckily, I fared pretty well (thanks Cool Mom Picks - heh), but if you didn't, then...
