More coolness from recent weeks…
Crayons straight from the farm. In France. Via schoolbus.
Since a shiny new box of crayons is de rigeur for back to school season, I am loving this awesome set of crayons that might make a perfect "You'll do great, honey!" gift for a new preschooler or kindergartener. And of course, her mom can borrow them too. The...
Today, please hit “Like” to help end pediatric AIDS
As a mother, here's a program I'm so happy to be able to tell you about: for the next few hours only, you can help prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in a significant way by barely lifting a finger. In fact, you will quite literally save lives. And saving...

Here are a few of our favorite tech picks from the last week, just in case you missed them. 1. Lovely, handmade gadget covers that are so nice we can't decide which one we like best. 2. As if we needed another reason to love IKEA. Look at what they're doing...
Bite-sized happiness from Ella’s Kitchen
I must admit, once or twice I have bought boxes of lovely, organic snacks only to find they've gone stale before we've had a chance to get through them. What can I say? My daughter is picky and not every snack is her style. Leave it to Ella's Kitchen, the creators of...
Grow baby, grow.
Despite having found so many cool kids' growth charts here on Cool Mom Picks, I confess I still use a pencil on the side of our kitchen wall. It's not that I haven't loved every single one of them, but they're either too pretty or too big or just too...something for...

The ottoman fit for your child’s adorable little butt
I am one of those moms who totally wants my house to look as good as it did pre-kids, but also recognizes that that is ridiculously impractical and it will never happen and no, it's okay, I have my own Kleenex. So when I find furniture that both looks great and won't...
A Ryan Gosling coloring book just for Mommy
I've made it pretty clear that I'm a huge Ryan Gosling fan. I own the Ryan Gosling dish towel we recently found. (Enough said?) So if you love Ryan as much as I do, here's an excuse to stare at him a little more. The Ryan Gosling coloring book might just be the most...
UPF blankets for babies, hold the chemicals
I'll admit the sun frightens me, especially where my little boys are concerned. But I don't let my fear keep us inside or under a tree--though I admit to having overloaded them with sunscreen until their limbs resembled a sheet of notebook paper. Thankfully, I...
7am enfant diaper bags, equal parts style and function
Considering how much we love all the products from 7am enfant, I'm not surprised at all that I'm in love with their new luxury diaper bag. I've seen many a stylish diaper bag that looks fantastic but doesn't exactly hold up to the test of kids and their 400 Cheerios...

The pros and cons of 4 popular cleansing wipes
Traveling as much as I do, I don't know why I wasted so much time agonizing about 3-ounce bottles of leaky cleansers and travel-sized samples of sub-par skincare brands, when there's a whole world of fantastic cleansing cloths out there. I've been playing around with...
Let’s hear it for the boys
Moms of boys, rejoice! One of our favorite artists for fierce girl-power art is now tackling the sweet but manly side of our sons. We fell in love with Amanda Visell's quartet of strong girl posters. Then we cheered for her second take on girls who aren't afraid...
Baby gift sets from the land of driving on the wrong side of the road
While we're all still on this post-Olympic London kick (man, aren't you dying to go right now?) it was great timing that we discovered this brand new children's line straight out of London. [don't miss a fantastic limited time discount for CMP readers after the jump!]...
Ninja socks, people. NINJA SOCKS.
Last year we discovered the super awesome Sock it To Me knee socks, which we even included in our holiday gift guide. (We still think those Derby Girl socks are a pretty darn cool gift.) But while some of the designs were decidedly kid-like, the sizes weren't. Until...
10 spreads to make a better peanut butter sandwich (or seed butter too!)
The back-to-school fun has begun: cue the sandwich making! I'm the queen of packing school lunches, but even I rely on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My kids love them, they are quick, and an easy way to pack a protein punch. But, as much as I love the classic...
