There have been many times when I've wanted nothing more for my baby to just chill and take a snooze in the buggy when all he does is fuss. But now that I've discovered this new stroller pad that is so comfortable, I'm tempted to sit on …
Finding beautiful and appropriate maternity clothing to wear to work when you're pregnant can sometimes feel like a fruitless effort. There were many times during my pregnancies that I had to cobble together an office-appropriate outfit …
Going on vacation is top on my list of things I love to do. At the bottom of that list has to be schlepping things--like car seats--from my house to the airport. I just discovered a contraption that makes that schlepping at least a littl…
With two kids under four in our household, we are huge fans of Munchkin. From eating essentials to bath time fun, they've hooked a lot of mamas up over the years. So I was psyched to get a sneak peak at their new lineup, only to discover…
I love having two yummy little boys, really I do. But it's times like this--when I hear that design icon Diane von Furstenberg is creating a girls-only collection for GapKids and babyGap--that I get a little envious of moms with daughter…
It always scares me when I see a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients on my baby's personal care packages. Especially when said product is a diaper wipe, meant to touch the delicate nether regions of my little one. Thankfully, the…
Another members-only flash sale site, you ask? Well, yes. But this one's got an awesome charity aspect to it, plus the kinds of kids' brands for up to 70% off , that we'd happily buy at full price. The new flash sale site, Treehouse Tyke…
Some deals are just too good to keep to yourself. Especially when it involves a stroller, since great buggies can be so pricey, but are so integral for every family with young ones. Two of Cool Mom Picks' fave stroller brands, Phil & Ted…
My 10 month old is teething. That means he's chomping on virtually everything in our house. (Kind of gross when he chooses the wheels of the stroller.) I found a cool new blankie with attached teething toys, so I'm hopeful he'll start gn…
For those of you with kids (like my son) who would rather eat just a little bit of everything instead of a big Dagwood sandwich, CMP favorite LunchBots is going to make your day. (If not your kids' lunch.) The brand new LunchBots Quad is…
At the very top of my bucket list of designers I hope to have hanging in my closet one day is Marni . I've always loved the Italian design house's eclectic mix of prints and modern offbeat silhouettes. Now, thanks to a collaboration with…
The thing about bibs is that they are made to get dirty. So I've never really cared much about what they look like. But I just discovered a collection of bibs that blends practical and chic. The stylish baby bibs from Ah Goo Baby come wi…
Bath time in our house is no easy feat. There's a lot of wriggling and crying--from both baby and parents. I think partly it has to do with the fact that our plastic bathtub is not the comfiest of landing spots for little tushies. To rem…
Ah shapewear. How essential you are. After all, the beginning of every new year starts with the same pledge: "I will get in shape." But this year, I didn't even dare make that resolution--with a baby who doesn't sleep through the night a…
Just in time for fashion week, one of our favorite local cupcake bakeries is getting all dolled up for the occasion from one of our favorite designers and we couldn't be more excited. Seems like pink cupcakes are the new black. New York'…
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 t…
I'm so happy to have just discovered another adorably chic new line of non-toxic nail polishes, so I can have some worry-free fun with my nieces when we're playing salon. Little Bu is a new non-toxic nail polish line from the UK for soph…
My favorite color is purple, which not an easy shade to find on a stroller--until now. The coveted Bugaboo Cameleon just added a gorgeous new shade of deep purple to its family and we're digging it. But if you do too, you have to hurry! …
I fully admit to drinking way more bottled water than I should, even though I'm aware of how bad the plastic is for the environment, let alone the risk of water that's been marinating in chemicals used to produce said plastic. But now I'…
One of my favorite pre-bedtime rituals with my son is massaging his little feet before I put him in his PJs. He immediately relaxes and gives me the biggest smile. I usually do this routine on his changing table, which is never that easy…
I'm a big fan of gender-neutral colors , especially for the nursery. For my boys' room I mixed in the requisite blue with lime, red and brown, all of which I consider both boy and girl-friendly. When I saw the new ultra-modern pink nurse…
Editor's Note: The Nap Nanny and Chill have been recalled by the CPSC . You should discontinue use immediately and return it to your retailer. The last 8 1/2 months have not been easy. That's how long ago our second child was born. And t…
When I go shopping for my nieces, I often find myself wishing I could just shrink my own wardrobe for them. There are so many brands out there that feel it's necessary to splash sequins all over their duds or plaster them with silly litt…
I often get stuck in a rut when it comes to buying clothes for my kids. I automatically order their jeans and sweaters from big name chains and then am continually disappointed about the fit or the fact that a hole appears after only a c…
