If you’re part of the baby biker set (and I don’t mean leather jackets and chaps), you probably already know Burley. They’ve been making great bike trailers and accessories for over 35 years. I'm excited about the new Burley Solstice , h…
Let's be real, parents. Amid the cry-fests and all-night burp-a-thons, it would be tough to remember a single thing about those early months, if it weren't for the photos we take and look back on later. ("Oh right! We went to Florida for…
Oh, how I would love to see bright beautiful flowers arriving at my doorstep for Valentine's Day, especially midway through this cold winter where everything outside my window is frozen. And those of us who are planning to give or hoping…

If you have yet to catch onto the whole coffee subscription box trend, you must have been living in a yurt in some remote location for the past few years. In which case, welcome back! Also, I bet you missed coffee you didn't have to cook…
Valentine's Day is, of course, my free pass to splurge on sexy lingerie . But don't underestimate the power of lacy cotton panties to keep you feeling flirty the other 364 days of the year. We've been big fans of Cake Maternity's beautif…
It was so exciting to watch my daughter learn to crawl--until she bypassed the area rug and face-planted onto the hardwood floor . We used to joke that she needed knee pads, so I'm excited to find Go Little One Go anti-slip c rawling pan…
I've been fortunate to travel to many states and try the so-called best ice cream in each-- Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream in Bar Harbor, Maine; Capo Gelateria in Salt Lake City; Richardson's Ice Cream (correction) in Middletown, MA; and in…
It's 3 a.m. and your baby is screaming at the top of her lungs. You are trying to heat up breast milk as quickly as humanly possible. Microwaving creates hot spots and potentially burnt mouths. Placing a bottle in a pot of boiling water …
As we get ready to welcome our newest bundle I have been catching up on all the hip and inventive baby gear that has surfaced in the past 5 years. Of course, the stroller is one of the most essential pieces, so I have been taking my time…
There's nothing sexier than leaky boobs, am I right, breastfeeding mamas? Not. Having popped out a newborn just weeks ago, I'm currently leakier than a broken faucet and have already been in a few un-sexy, publicly embarrassing situation…
File under problems I never thought I'd have: Agonizing over double strollers. With a 17-month-old in tow and a brand new baby, I've been feeling the pressure to pick the perfect ride. If I was still in New York where my primary means of…
This year, I was delighted to be treated to a most surprising gift: A bottle of Revitalizing Body Oil from the brand Tata Harper , which is not new to these pages but was new to me. Since then, I have not stopped telling friends about it…
I remember putting off trimming my son's nails for days when he was born, because I was afraid of accidentally cutting his delicate fingers off with the baby nail clipper and suddenly finding myself in a scene worthy of Quentin Tarantino…

We are the first to admit that we get so caught up in getting gifts for others (and recommending them for you all!) that sometimes, we forget to devote the time to our own memory-making keepsake gifts. One great idea that Kristen puts to…
Having three babies in the winter means I spent three Decembers struggling with whether or not I should invest in a maternity winter coat I would only wear for a month or two. Same with holiday party dresses. It was such a shame to buy c…
Maybe you've been there, too--out holiday shopping or enjoying a lovely family day when your kid hops out of the stroller and down it goes. Thanks, overstuffed stroller bag! There is a chance that tipped strollers could be a thing of the…
Yes, Hanukkah is here and Christmas is coming (fast) but no need to panic if you still have VIPs to shop for on your list and are scrambling for last-minute gift ideas. By now, you've surely heard of the magic of subscription gift boxes …
If there was anything ever that made me think to myself boy I wish I had a baby right now it's this hilarious Mr. T holiday onesie by Cool Mom Picks favorite Mi Cielo . This isn't the first time I've been in love with the baby gifts from…

We love personalized jewelry which makes such a special gift, but buying personalized jewelry--or personalized anything, really--also means planning ahead, especially at the holidays. And hey, sometimes we parents aren't able to look fur…
If you didn't get a chance to snag one of the aden + anais and (RED) swaddle blankets that support The Global Fund earlier this year, you're still in luck. You can treat a baby you love --while you help other babies--with this brand new …
I'm closing in on seven months pregnant and the chill in the air is leaving me with the dilemma: Do I buy a winter maternity coat when all I want is to make my own super cozy coat work for the few months I will really need it? I love all…
