Nope, it's not Dracula. It's not Edward, either. This little guy is waaaaay cuter (sorry, Team Edward). This shirt's vampire is the real deal: a vampire bat. And he's pretty adorable, for something that sucks blood. We've told you before…
If you are juggling a needy infant or a get-into-everything toddler this October, the last thing you probably want to think about is spending hours creating a fancy Halloween costume for your little pumpkin. It's one of the reasons we lo…
It's getting cold outside for many of us--which means it's time to get back to the challenge of keeping our kids toasty warm. I don't know about you, but both of my children are absurdly picky when it comes to winter hats--if a hat is th…
If you'd told me a few weeks ago that I needed covers for my stroller handles, I would have been like, stroller handlebar covers? Riiiight. Well, guess what? Turns out it was love at first grip. The stroller handlebar covers from mom-cre…
I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy shopping. Because, uh, I do. But a brand-new partnership between two very green sites, Vine.com and Healthy Child Healthy World, has me even more giddy about my shopping habit. And with a nice little…
Recently, we introduced you to an incredible company making beautiful scarves that help significantly improve the lives of mothers and women in Africa. Along those same lines, we're so happy to see that babywearing has also gotten more s…
I've been noticing something in the land of designer bags these days. It's flashy. And shiny. And very, very cool. The metallic trend is popping up in handbags everywhere, but that doesn't mean that mamas can't be part of it, too with on…
CMP has long adored Kiwi Industries for its super soft, US-made organic kids' clothing--and we've always been partial adorable line of Sesame Street characters. So how excited are we to learn they've now given Elmo--and our kids!--some n…
Who wants to hide under a pink teddy bear blanket? Nobody over two years old, that's who. That's why these chic, breathable nursing covers do at least quadruple duty and look like something you would actually wear on purpose. Made of sof…
Cool Mom Picks is a huge fan of the mom-and-pop created label Skip Hop. Back in March we announced that they're offering adorable nursery decor and crib bedding. And the news just gets better: Skip Hop has expanded its nursery line, with…

I've always loved early fall for the chance to go apple picking (and the subsequent homemade apple treats!) But long after the apples are gone from the trees, there will be plenty of ways to celebrate apple season with some adorable grap…
Diaper bags are kind of like minivans. They are super practical, but don't exactly scream funky fresh. But this new Tokidoki and Ju Ju Be diaper bag collaboration is like taking your Honda Odyssey and making it a low rider. We're talking…
We fell in love with the lovely baby clothes from PAIGELAUREN Baby years ago--oh, that tailoring! Those stripes! Those polka dots! And now, our mama-fashionista hearts are swelling once again as they get into clothing for the actual walk…
Finding the right diaper for your new baby can be just as difficult as finding the right jeans for your post-partum body. Without naming names, I can still remember the popular brand of diaper that caused volcanic leakage that ruined my …
My kids are long past infancy, but I have profound memories of the truly yucky jarred baby food I tried to shovel into their mouths. I always thought I'd be someone who made homemade baby food, but having my kids one year apart--surprise…
I was pregnant during two Halloweens. Looking back, I'm sad I never got into that particular holiday spirit. That probably has something to do with the fact that I was just happy to struggle into my own clothes and shoes , let alone deal…
Confession: I still envy the fancy strollers of my city-dwelling mama counterparts. But raising four kids in the suburbs doesn't present much of a rationale for much more than the bare basics. At least, that's what I thought until I was …
For any mom with more than one child, finding the right double stroller is pretty much the search for the holy grail. The perfect buggy built for two should be easy to maneuver, fit through doorways, and allow you to convert it into a si…
I find myself getting the baby bug after seeing the upcoming spring collection from Winter Water Factory. The colors, patterns and variety of styles are overwhelmingly adorable. They've chosen graphic prints that are super cool, but stil…
I love good products that help support a good cause, but I love them even more when they're actually tied to the cause. (As in, I still question that strange fast-food fried-chicken campaign to fight breast cancer.) This is why I'm so ha…
We're used to slathering our babies in products from Burt's Bees, but now you can dress your baby in them, too. Sweet! [Don't miss a great giveaway and discount code after the jump!] The new Burt's Bees Baby line includes a complete laye…
When my son was a baby, he was fascinated by my jewelry--a fascination that led to his stuffing fistfuls of my necklaces into his curious mouth. Worried that my necklaces might be sporting some not-so-friendly chemicals, I stopped wearin…
Think you can do better than "diva," "boob man," or the ever popular "my dad can beat up your dad?" Of course you can. And Threadless and Gap think so too. Which is why in their continued partnership, they've just introduced a contest fo…
