Getting my kids to wear socks indoors takes some serious convincing on my part. They love being being barefoot regardless of how cold the floor is. But the new animal rival Vs. Socks for kids from Hooray Hoopla have finally given them re…
I've had my eye on a few hot kids' trends for spring, but the one that caught my eye immediately was ombre dip dye clothes. Maybe it's because my kids' clothes are already sort of that way anyway thanks to a bunch of juice spills. (Ha.) …
My friend Natalie has a huge smile, bright red hair, and Down syndrome. That means her thigh bones and upper arm bones are a little shorter than the average girl her age, and most pants and shirt sleeves she tries on in a normal retail s…
If you're like me, you get pretty sick of the same-old-same-old patterns and themes when it comes to boys' clothes. That's why I was thrilled to discover the cool boys' clothes at Geo Fox Apparel . Made in Los Angeles, Geo Fox is the bra…
Just as we're starting to dig into all the great sales on kids' clothes online, we remember the reason why--the new stuff is coming, including lots of drool-worthy designer kids' clothes. And after getting a peek at the brand new Stella …
Tis the season to scurry to the web and take advantage of all the great designer kids' clothes that are starting to go on sale. At least here, we've got a good four months left of sweater weather and then some. A new shop to add to your …
One of our favorite things about our job is tracking down the coolest kids' clothes, whether it's casual tees, trendy but affordable pieces, or the splurgey stuff that makes you yearn for four more kids for hand-me-downs. You'll find all…
I look forward to Movember every year because my Viking husband looks deliciously scruffy while supporting men's health awareness with a beard. But if you've got a mustache-loving kid in your life who can't even sprout a few chin hairs, …
Our pals at Tea Collection say their latest round of boys' pants can stand up to dragons, thanks to reinforced knees, durable material , and the look of denim without the zipper issues. So they'll probably survive the playground, too. Wh…
Recently we wrote about the splurgey loveliness that is Caramel Baby + Child, a UK label specializing in the stuff a lot of us dream of dressing our children in, but not necessarily at retail prices. Well now, they're less. The Caramel B…
featured partner We get excited when Jacadi Paris , the awesomely luxe baby and kids' brand that pretty much never goes on sale...is going on sale. Yay! And we're partnering with them today to share our favorite picks from the sale. (If …
As a mom of a boy, I know how tough it can be to find cool clothes that not only look great, but are made for comfort and play. And I'd like them to last an entire season , please. Looks like Janet Reid (fellow mom of a boy) was reading …
With the holidays over and out, the sales are all in full affect! Immediately following New Years, I'm always on the hunt for cute threads for my kids. Mostly online, because I seem to find the best deals here. One of my all time favorit…
Every time we hear a parent say, "We can't find cool clothes for boys," we say, "Visit Cool Mom Picks!" We like a challenge. However, it is getting easier each year, and it's fun finding the clothes that make our little fellows a little …
Okay, I'll admit it: I'm probably the least cool parent there is when it comes to music. I did have a brief David Bowie-loving phase, but other than that hip hiccup, my tastes tend more towards maudlin musical theater and 1970s story son…
Volcom is my kids' absolute obsession around these parts. They're hardcore skateboarders, and Volcom represents everything that is awesome about skater culture. One of my sons insists on only wearing shirts emblazoned with their logo. He…
With a husband in the Air Force Reserves, the hot military trend is one of my favorites--not to mention it's pretty easy getting a jacket on a finicky boy when you tell him he'll be just like Daddy. In my search for the perfect winter co…
Moms of boys, you know it can be a full-on hunt to find cool threads for our little guys. Especially if, like mine, your son happens to love fashion. So when I discovered Aven Clothing , I actually squealed with happiness . Aven founders…
All kids can rock their little league team uniforms but alas, my kids don't play traditional team sports and therefore don't get a complimentary skateboarding jersey (should there be such a thing). They want jerseys, but they want them t…
We get kind of excited when we find any cool boys clothes, as you well know, and even more so when we find great boys clothes on sale. Especially when they're from from one of our favorite shops--and CMP sponsors-- Red 21 Boys . Here, ju…
With summer here, we are seeing a lot of bright colors , fun patterns and soft textures in baby and children's clothes. Perfect--because even kids dressed like little fashion models want to be comfortable. One awesome shop that has styli…
We are big fans of Fore! Axel and Hudson. Their golf inspired clothes for boys are just so darn cool. But they do more than the golf stuff, as it turns out, and if you've got a fancy occasion coming up, but a not-so-fancy boy, this is a …
Obviously, we've got Father's Day on the brain lately. Which means we're also thinking about fathers of all kinds. Like single dads. And those dads with a second loving dad at home. Evidently, Marc Jacobs is in the same place. So we're s…
With the official start of summer only two weeks away and the warm weather already here in my neck of the woods, I've been sifting through my son's clothes from last season and realizing that ack, he needs a whole lot for this year's sum…
