We’ve all been there. You just scored some great plates, glasses, candleholders, coffee mugs, picture frames, or [fill in the blank] at your favorite home goods store and those pesky stickers won’t come off. You’re starting to swear, tha…
For those of you parenting kids with food sensitivities, oh boy do we get it. The time spent examining food labels alone is overwhelming. So when we find a fantastic alternative for sensitive tummies, we're happy to share it. Our newest …
I love granola bars. When you find the right ones, they are nutritious, delicious, and a super convenient snack. Pack one for before track practice and your daughter will be sprinting like Flo Jo. Well, unless your kid has a peanut and t…
Okay, parents: The kids are back to school and you survived. We think that it's time to treat yourself to something decadent and indulgent, just because. We've found a few fancy snacks that we're putting on the adults-only shelves in our…
Drop the scissors (or, uh, gently set them down) and trash those circulars. It turns out that your phone has everything you need to save a bundle on your regular groceries. That said, some grocery store coupon apps far outperform their c…
More and more families are grappling with the need to pack allergy-friendly lunches, either because one of their own has been diagnosed with a food allergy or because their kids' school or daycare is a designated allergen-free zone. Eith…
We've seen cookie cutters and cake pans in the shapes of unicorns, Minecraft characters, Minons, ninjas, Santa Claus ninjas (really), and everything pop culture-y in between. But if none of those quite fit the bill for your own brood, yo…
Unless you've been living under a rock (AKA you have a lot more self-discipline when it comes to social media than I do), you've probably heard about the miraculous properties of coconut oil. From the kitchen to the makeup bag, and even …
I love coffee like the rest of the Cool Mom team, but honestly, I'm fine with my homemade cold brew coffee . The problem is that all of the money I save by skipping Starbucks goes straight to my juice bar addiction, because if you ask me…
When you're a new parent, getting a baby started on solids is one of those exciting and often intimidating milestones. Being sure you have the right gear is a good start -- and high chairs are often the first place you turn. I used to th…
We're not exactly new to this parenting thing, and over the years we've seen all kinds of dinnerware for kids that is supposed to make our lives easier. (Read, less messy.) But we recently discovered EZPZ placemats and, you guys, these a…
If I said that you could get help in the kitchen that could make cooking a little easier, faster, and maybe even healthier, you’d be stoked, right? Well, short of a full-time kitchen assistant, these must-have kitchen tools that are espe…
Now that my kids are six- and nine-years-old, I've finally gotten rid of all our little kid tableware. While I was sad to see the faded Elmo melamine plates and construction vehicle flatware go, my boys were happy to know that they've fi…
Feeding a baby can feel like a full-time, around-the-clock job. And that's probably because it is. So whenever we find a product that makes it a little easier, we're excited to see if it will work out. And I have to say, I've been really…
I love starting the year off with a kitchen clean out. I'm pretty good about throwing away foods that expire along the way—except for spices. I tend to imagine that they last forever (they don't) and often end up with multiples of certai…
We're realists here at Cool Mom Eats. No matter how delicious a recipe looks, we're not going to suggest it if it has a thousand steps or requires special equipment that needs to be shipped from a fancy specialty store. Unless, of course…
We always love shopping from indie businesses, but we're especially excited to shop small today in a show of support for Small Business Saturday . When it comes to food and kitchen products, many small, often family-owned, purveyors are …
updated for 2016 Our Christmas countdown has officially begun. Well, it actually starts December 1, with the beginning of Advent, but my kids have been counting down for a while now. As in, since December 26th last year. Now that the adv…
When my kids go to the grocery with me, I usually let them pick one thing each that they want for their lunches during the week. And their choice almost always has a character on it. So I was excited to see the news that, with the new St…
With Halloween coming up, I've got chocolate on my mind. But I'm craving good chocolate. Really good chocolate. While my kids enjoy their annual pass to gorge on the junkiest candy they can get their hands on, I'll happily indulge in my …
If the new moms you know are anything like I was ten years back—exhausted, a little scattered, and possibly nursing—I think they will definitely appreciate a big gift of Oat Mama's Lactation Granola Bars , a new, small brand of outstandi…
Sometimes you see a product and it's instant love. That was my reaction to the Sugar House sugar bowl from Peleg Design. It looks like those snow globes from airport gift shops that our kids know and love (and that the TSA confiscates fr…
I've been on a quest to find the perfect sauté pan since the summer, when a bolt on the inexpensive one I grabbed at a department store exploded off the pan while my daughter was helping me cook. Yikes. Obviously, quality (and safety, wh…
Today is National Coffee Day and we think that's reason to celebrate. But you know us: any excuse for more coffee is a good excuse. If you feel the same, check out these 15 fun ways to get your coffee on today, from cold brew that you ca…
