More coolness from recent weeks…
The Mother’s Day Gift That Keeps on Giving
While it's nice to see your spousal unit wiggle and squirm in an attempt to figure out what the heck to get you for mother's day, I imagine you probably don't need yet another "I Love Mom" necklace or beaded stretch bracelet. So, why not consider having a...
Cooshie, Cooshie, Cool
Restaurant booster seats? Hate ’em. They’re always covered with the slimy remnants of another toddler’s meal — or we hope that sticky mess is from leftover food and not something worse.
There’s a New Shoe in Town
If I see another baby wearing those ubiquitous soft-leather soled shoes, I may lose it. Sure the fairy princesses and blue songbirds are kind of cute, but let’s face it, they’re getting overplayed.
Let Someone Else Remember For You
You look at your calendar and realize you've forgotten your mother-in-law's birthday. You jump online and send her a crappy e-card that she won't be able to open anyway because she still uses dial-up. And even if she can get to it, it's going to take her 2-hours to...
How the West Was Drooled All Over
Just Say No to Frump!
Nothing says sexy mama like a big huge nursing nightgown with huge booby slits and a fabulous floral print. NOT.
Leggo of your Lego
I hit the jackpot today. My couch cushion diving expedition uncovered $2.32, a pen, some cheerios, and way too many LEGOs. It's general parenting knowledge that if you have a kid, you have LEGOs, and they are everywhere. So, instead of throwing them back in the...
Attention Future Rock Stars
Handstitched and cool - two words that perk up our ears at Cool Mom Picks. So it's not surprising at all that we're enamoured of 60 Bugs, a website whose tagline is, appropriately, handstitched coolness. Designer Debbie Lee hand-embroiders bibs, pillowcases, and tees,...
The book that inspired A League of their Own
Just because I’m not a partaker in America’s Favorite Pastime doesn’t mean I don’t think it shouldn’t be celebrated. So, this year, I’ve decided to mix up a special "Homerun Martini" and pull out one of my favorite movies – "A League of Their Own."
Baby’s First Martini
The drinking age may be 21 but the way we see it, that gives your child plenty of time to get his James Bond impression down before he shows it off in public. My First Martini, the latest offering from the makers of My First Beer Garden, is the perfect size for your...
She’ll be the Grandest Girl in the Easter Parade
I have toddler headwear envy. I love my little baldy girl, but the only barrette I’ll be able to keep on her head is the one I drew on there. And headbands stay on for about 2.76 seconds – on a good day. But, my daughter’s head is uncovered no more thanks to Baby Cappelli hats.
Hey, There’s Shmutz on This Bib!
With Passover just around the corner, we searched far and wide for a great item for baby's first Seder. We stopped when we found this clever cotton bib. Shmutz (Yiddish for a little mess) will pretty much sum up the state of affairs if your little mensch takes a...
Svanity Fair
As a Svan superfan I was all but throwing a party when I heard the news that Scandinavian Child was introducing its newest Svan product, a chic-as-chit bouncy seat! I know, I know. Exciting stuff, right?
Snap On, Snap Off
Why is it when you finally get around to buying clothes and room duds that support your kids’ interests (read: feed their obsessions), they have already moved onto something else? You end up being out countless dollars, and up about 14 Winnie-the-Pooh shirts and 2 sheet sets that you can’t return.
Achtung Baby!
Classic. Soothing. Lullabies. Brisa’s selection of music for children is easy on the ears and ranges from Mozart to Elvis.
First Impressions
Got a bun in the oven? Know someone who does? Voila! Ceci New York for your custom Baby Announcement needs.
Come On, Swaddle Me
Did you listen to the OB nurse when she explained the perfect swaddling technique? I don’t know about you, but I was way too busy worrying about attaching the baby to my boob to think about tightly wrapping my child in a crappy hospital blanket. But when I got home, I realized that I probably should have listened.
Stay Undivorced
WryBaby is one of our go-to sites at CMP, and also one of yours judging from the number of tips we receive about them. Of all the cheeky gifts you'll find there, The Wheel of Responsibility is a favorite. It's just what it sounds like - a simple way to determine whose...
Let Them Eat Cupcakes.
A Cup-a-Cake container is one of those items that on first glance makes you say, "huh?" On second glance you think, "pretty smart," and on third glance you’re like, "I need forty-two of them, NOW NOW NOW!"
Now You Can Save Your Singing for the Shower
If you are one of those moms who‚Äôd love to take your kid to music class but dreads singing in front of anyone except yourself in the bathroom mirror, then the Music’s Everywhere dvd is the perfect solution for you.
A Cause We Can All Rally Behind
Dianetics states that moms in labor "maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go." Um. Democrat or Republican, red state or blue, I think we can all agree on one thing:...
