One of the fun things about what we do here is getting the occasional invitation to an event so cool, we have to pinch ourselves. Next week, I'm heading to Radio City Music Hall with my kids and some other bloggers for a behind the scene…
Merry Christmas Cool Moms! Now get off the computer. [card via alternate greetings ]
If there's one thing I love about the holiday season, it's that delightful little perk of being able to tell the kids they have to behave or Santa won't bring them anything for Christmas. (Holiday blackmail: Just another service I offer …
I've not yet met a mom who loves stuffing he baby in some sort of hot, fuzzy baby bunting for a trip outside in the cold. Well, all that's about to change thanks to Kate Quinn Organics' baby bunting , found at Portland shop Little Urbani…
I wrestle with the idea of what to get my two-month old daughter for Christmas, because well, she's two-months and what the heck does she care about what's sitting under the tree for her, right? But then I have to wonder if it'll come ba…
I'm the person who walks by a candle shop or perfume store and starts sneezing uncontrollably. So just imagine how well I do trying to find a nice subtle holiday scent that doesn't make me run for a box of tissues. Leave it to our favori…
The idea of pediatricians formulating baby skin care products--as the MD Moms have done with the much beloved Baby Silk line--is easy to understand. But I love that they've outdone themselves this holiday with the brand new and extremely…
It's not that I don't go "awwww" just a little bit over the beautiful hand-cut ceramic dove ornament with a customizable message from Paloma's Nest--it's that mentally I'm sometimes still about nine or ten and imagine all the hilarious w…
Oh I just can't wait for all those obligatory stuffed animals that my baby will get over the holidays because really, what else do you give a newborn for Christmas? So here's a suggestion: An adorable duck rattle baby toy from Estella NY…
Every year, our families bug us about our holiday cards because we only send pictures of the kids. I guess my husband and I never figured that anyone would actually want to see our mugs too. Besides, it's pretty hard getting a candid fam…
These days you can spread " good will on earth " while being kind to it as well. But let's be honest, not all eco-friendly cards are created equal. The Winter Berry Holiday Cards we spotted from the new line of eco-friendly cards availab…
Thanks to my not-so-quickly shrinking postpartum body, the only items that are guaranteed to fit me are accessories. So at the top of my "dear santa pleeeeeeeeease" list are these Floral Crochet Earrings spotted at Three Lovelies. Artist…
I'm one of those goofy, sentimental types where it comes to personal correspondence. If you send me a card, you can be sure it will occupy a place of honor on my refrigerator. But if you send me one of these holiday scratch 'n' sniff car…
With certain types of decor, your standard glittery, tinsel-y holiday trimmings just don't fit. They're festive, sure, but sometimes you just need something simple, something sophisticated. Something cool. For those occasions, think we'v…
Whether you stay up late enough for fireworks this year or you're lying in bed in the dark, fingers crossed that the loud noise does not wake the baby (PLEASE GOD DO NOT WAKE THE BABY), all of us at Cool Mom Picks wish you a Happy Fourth…

We grownups know that the best part of holiday parties are holiday party appetizers. This year, I'm letting the kids in on our fun with seven appetizers that they'll love, too. These kid-friendly apps are grown-up enough for the adults, …
I loved Stacie's recent post on Father's Day recipes all using bacon , but some of them are arguably more for the semi-pro home cook to take on as opposed to say...the kids. If your kids are into helping you whip up something yummy and e…
I love Advent calendars as a way for my kids to count down to Christmas (did you catch our most recent picks ?). But why should they be the only ones to have all the fun? If you're looking for an Advent calendar that's more sophisticated…
