Little Twig and Sparrow: A beautiful new line of kids pajamas that recognizes all colors are for all kids
It's the first day of fall, and I can't believe it but we've already broken out the cool weather pajamas this past weekend for the kids. The ones they wanted to wear first? The beautifully soft, pima cotton pjs from Little Twig and Sparrow. I can't really blame them...
Where do animals go when they’re dressed and ready? Onto a clock, of course.
I'm inclined to call this find the world's coolest animal clocks. But then, I'm not sure if that refers to the coolest clocks featuring animals, or clocks featuring the coolest animals. Eh, hardly matters. Both perfectly describe the brand new zoo portrait clocks from...
Navajo-inspired accessories with a modern twist: this fall’s big trend
This fall we're loving the patterns and details in fashion inspired by iconic Navajo art and textures and those that bring to life other tribal imagery. Leather, turquoise, feathers, fringe and those bold geometric patterns are statements that can work for...
Cooking with kids: Healthy snacks that kids can help make and everyone will eat

Rosh Hashanah food goes indie.
I'm all for starting the Jewish new year off right, and for me that means a gourmet Rosh Hashanah food taster from our favorite online indie food marketplace, MOUTH. Why stick with plain old apples and honey, when the goodies in the "High Holy Day-licious" pack (ha)...

In This Book: A stunning picture book for kids and the parents who love reading to them
Just out in the US from French author Fani Marceau is a new favorite picture book that I expect will become a permanent fixture on many kids' bookshelves: In This Book. It features the kind of repetitive structure that really appeals to babies and the earliest...

An awesome new meal planning website that personalizes your meal plans. It’s like doing it yourself, without having to do it yourself.
How many times have you heard "Just meal plan!" when you groan about the never-ending responsibility of feeding your family night after night? But time constraints, logistics, or the fact that organizing ahead isn't everyone's strong suit mean meal planning just...
BeautyDNA: Like match.com meets the best of the beauty subscription boxes
Beauty subscription boxes are definitely the new black. (Aw, remember when Birchbox was the only game in town?) But as fun as it is to receive a monthly box of mini beauty products, it's frustrating when what's inside doesn't work for me. I'm also not a huge fan of...
Cool, comfy baby leg warmers. What a feeling.
We've always been a big fan of BabyLegs for their fun designs and ease of use. I mean, what parent wouldn't love a pair of baby leg warmers that keep those chubby little legs snug while also making diaper changes a breeze? That's why we're excited to share...
Indian print clothes for kids that make fall more colorful
If your kids have a thing for color and pattern and mixing and matching in ways that you would probably never consider--such as kids do--you'll want to take a look at the fun new fall line from Masala Baby. Their punchy, colorful line of Indian print clothes for kids...
Super cute baby shoes that do good for babies everywhere
Around here we've kind of got a thing for shoes (if you haven't noticed) and so we've always loved buying shoes for our babies as much as we do shoes for ourselves. The cuteness factor is just off the charts; one look at teeny little sneakers and soft, squishy boots...
This Mother Tucker’s Not Your Average Nursing Tank
I probably would've loved the Mother Tucker just for the name itself, but after taking it for a test run, I'm comfortable saying that every nursing mom needs to try this nursing tank right tucking now. Full disclosure: I'm not nursing again until baby...
Hot nail polishes to match the hot Pantone fall 2014 colors
It may still be on the warm side outside for some of us, but fall fashion is officially in full swing. In my kid-free days the new season meant a shopping spree was in order, but today I'm more apt to update my look with a new nail polish shade. Checking out the...
Gorgeous handmade toys you’ll be tempted to play with yourself
Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and say it: The holidays are creeping up. I know that means half of you hate me, and the other half are like "whatever, my list is already done." In which case, I bow to you. But if you're starting to think about special gifts for...
I like big bins and I cannot lie.
We've featured no shortage of kid-friendly storage bins here on Cool Mom Picks, but now that my kids are getting older (sniffle), I'm in the market for a little organizational help that's a little more my taste, like these stylish storage bins from MUNI shop on Etsy....
Reusable grocery bags with a sense of humor
If you're like me, the hardest part about switching from plastic bags to reusable grocery bags was remembering to actually bring them, which is why this tote bag from Emily McDowell (love her!) cracked me up. Of course, this cute bag can't actually force you to...
Playful: A book of easy crafts for kids that will inspire imagination and play.
This summer I mapped out fun crafts to do with my kids every week, and we completed exactly zero of them. It might be because I pinned things like build a lap-sized loom and learn to weave. I'm still not giving up on making beautiful, modern and, ahem, easy crafts...
