If you're looking for a sweet Valentines gift for a baby too young for chocolate bonbons, here's a totally adorable idea. I've been a fan of Trumpette socks ever since I got a set for my own baby and realized they were the only socks that actually stayed on--while...
Customized coffee mugs for keeps
I've always loved coffee, but it took becoming a mother to truly appreciate the wonder that is take-out coffee. Yes, the coffee is more expensive than if I made it myself, but my daily latte is an indulgence I allow myself for a few minutes of peace.However, there is...
Easy Valentine’s craft ideas that we heart
I always love seeing what's new and fun at Martha Stewart Crafts around the holidays, and especially Valentine's Day. Or as we like to think of it, That Day That All The Glitter Ended Up in The Rug. But I've taken the time to parse the ones that require professional...

No matter what the outcome of today's game (go New England!), I hope my kids see a game that reflects the best in sportsmanship (beat the Giants!) and a commitment to trying really hard (whoo! Tom Brady!). Oh, and I may care a little bit about who wins.Which is why...
The end of hat head
After taking the time to blow dry my mane, the last thing I want to do is pull on a claustrophobic thick wool hat and destroy all my hard work. So what? Just suffer the cold? Deal with the hat head? Etsy artist Cheryl Bryan has my answer. We just...
A sleepsack with your baby’s name on it. Literally.
I had my trusty HALO sleepsacks to thank for getting me a few nights of sleep when blankets weren't the safest option for my little roly poly babes. So how cool to hear about a new collaboration between HALO and Pottery Barn Kids that's surprisingly budget friendly....
New glass baby food containers make it easy to wean off the plastic
I admit to using plastic food containers for everything from storing leftovers to housing fresh made baby food. Yes, I cringe every time I put them in the dishwasher and I do find it a pain in the rear to take the extra step of pouring the contents in a porcelain bowl...
Warthogs need love too, ya know.
I've seen many a hooded towel in my parenting tenure, but none quite like the new ones from 3 sprouts, which always has a way of ensuring equal rights for all animals when it comes to toddler bathtime. Yep, that's a warthog hooded towel. I'm completely smitten with...
Sweet, but not-sugary, Valentines gifts for under $20
When it comes to giving Valentines gifts, I'll refrain from saying that my kids are "sweet enough already." But, let's face it: they'll be bombarded with candy hearts, lollipops and other sweets on the 14th. My plan is to find some non-sweet treats they'll love for a...

A bicycle built for a little one.
My 5-year old son's now security blanket is a handmade one we featured here on Cool Mom Picks awhile back. Cool how that happens. So when I saw these beautiful baby blankets at Dandelion Baby, I imagined that they could easily become a favorite for one of your lucky...
Wood you still love me tomorrow?
We've seen a ton of heart jewelry leading up to Valentine's Day, but the one that's stolen my heart isn't flashy, blingy, or loaded with diamonds. In fact, it isn't even shiny. I discovered designer Andrea Panico's Pico Designs at the gift show this week and fell in...

Big Miracle Review – and a little of the celebrity gossip you’re hoping for
Like me, you may have seen the Big Miracle ads on TV and thought--hmm, that could be kinda cheesy. So I was frankly a little surprised to find myself at a preview screening, laughing out loud, wiping tears (shhh) and thinking, wow, my kids are going to love this. The...
Here’s to us, framed.
While we may not be the kind of family to have our last name on a welcome mat outside our front door, it doesn't mean we aren't super proud of our clan. So, when my anniversary came around this past year I thought, sure, a traditional romantic tribute for my husband...

Cool branch and robot hanging thingies. (Not actual name, but works for me)
This weekend at the NY International Gift Show, there was so much exciting new design that I can't wait to share with you all! But one of the first new items that caught my eye was from Hangups and Baggage, a mom-run operation that's giving boring old coatracks a run...
