A breakfast that you can squeeze into the morning

Making breakfast a breeze

by Eva Glettner | Living

Breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day? Hey-ull yes!

by Cool Mom Staff | Food + Recipes

Breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day is a given, right? Okay, it’s not. But it should be. And as someone who was lucky enough to procreate with a trained chef, I think we have no excuse not to start institutionalizing it. On our Mother’s Day gift guide...

Breakfast in bed, minus the crumbs

by Christina Refford | Toys + Playthings

In theory, I love getting breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day, but nothing sends my nerves into overdrive like seeing a toddler wobble into my carpeted bedroom with a tray full of orange juice, sticky syrup and things with crumbs. Instead, I think I’ll leave...

[me] and goji down by the breakfast bar

by Delilah S. Dawson | Food + Recipes

There is a place of lies and dreams, broken promises and shredded palates. That place is the cereal aisle. Seriously, have you read the boxes lately? Super-choco-sweeties have loads of Vitamin Q, but they’re made of sugar and air. And if you’re gluten...

A Christmas gift for babies too young to beg to eat the chocolate santa before breakfast

by Cool Mom Staff | Baby, Holiday Picks, Kid Fashion

I still remain firmly in the camp that believes that My First Christmas onesies are a total waste of your hard-earned cash. And I’m not being a Scrooge, I swear – I just prefer to get a little more longevity out of my kids’ clothing than uh, one day....

Step away from the chocolate bunnies. At least until after breakfast.

It Isn’t Just For Breakfast Anymore

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!

Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks

We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
