I'm a sucker for personalized jewelry, especially on Valentine's Day, but not so stoked about the expensive pricetags. But when I found these affordable heart necklaces at My Tiny Star Shining, I felt like Oprah. "You get a necklace! And…
Mmmm, cashmere. I mostly appreciate this indulgent glorious material from afar, because my lifestyle can't really support a cashmere habit (although I might make an exception for these Ivory Row cashmere sweaters .) So here's a fabulous-…
You know we are always on the lookout for fabulous resources to support our goals of easy, beautiful, and natural living, but our latest one-stop shop find, Willo Baby , impressed us beyond expectations. We are totally kvelling over thei…
We love fun, indulgent gifts from time to time, but sometimes a practical present can be a lifesaver. If you know a pregnant mom who's experiencing morning sickness, here's how to be her holiday angel. And don't worry--you can still plac…
When I recently heard about the Baby Brezza Formula Pro , a new Keurig-like machine that dispenses baby formula, I chuckled to myself and thought, How hard is it to shake a bottle ? But after re-experiencing the sleep deprivation that co…
Baby books and photo albums are great, though we love how so many people are getting super creative in documenting their baby's first year using photography. Still, "super creative" doesn't have to mean "super hard" as you can tell from …
We're happy to offer up these baby shower gift ideas on behalf of our sponsor, Munchkin . And don't miss a huge giveaway below! We admit it: We all want to be the ones at the shower who hand over a gift and get the biggest "awwww..." fro…
Raise your hand if you've ever felt guilt--even a little--over those unfinished baby book pages, incomplete prompts and photo spaces that really, you swear you meant to put a photo in...one day... Yeah, well, me too. Which is why I think…
If you counted the number of times my reviews have stated that moms love being pampered... well, it might start to sound like a cry for help. As we all know, motherhood is a 24-7 job, and when we finally get some down time, we deserve th…
We're thrilled to announce our annual Mother's Day Gift Guide , with more than 50 of the most creative Mother's Day gift ideas for all the moms in your life --including you. From gorgeous keepsake jewelry for moms and beautiful personali…
I still remember, before I had kids, being so excited to get a friend's new baby a set of classic books like Alice and Wonderland and Peter Pan--and the way she looked at me when she said her daughter would love them in 10 years or so. H…
Yes we're tired, but more than that, we're so excited! After endless hours scouring the web just for you, we're ready to present our biggest, best annual Cool Mom Picks Baby Shower Gift Guide yet, chock full of more than 150 of the coole…
Even though I'm only in my second trimester (!), I'm all about planning, so naturally, I've already bookmarked some of my most coveted diaper bags (thanks to Cool Mom Picks). Too many choices! But it may have just gotten easier. The new …
New mothers are a special breed and require a special regimen. On the feeding front? Give them whatever they want and back away slowly, telling them how beautiful they are. And when it comes to caring for them, you can't go wrong pamperi…
I am definitely not one for gimmicky baby and new mom products that you really don't need. That's probably why you don't see a lot of stroller accessories on here, or stuff like the dreaded wipes warmer. (Sorry to those of you who love t…
Looking for a shower gift for a baby girl ? Something that is original, meaningful, and will never, ever go out of style? I've got just the thing. And I'm calling dibs on gifting it at every baby-girl shower I ever attend. Jaime Morrison…
When I returned to work after my oldest was born, I felt fortunate that I was often able to slip home or bring her with me to breastfeed because, I'll be honest, pumping at work made me a little nervous. I could barely use a breast pump …
Let me tell you a little about why I'm in love with the Serenity Star: when our daughter was first born, we were-- like all parents of newborns-- suddenly ruled by sleep and eating schedules. It was exhausting and stressful, made even mo…
This roundup of awesome gifts for new dads is the second in our Father’s Day Gift Guide series brought to you by the wonderful folks at Dove Men+Care. The perfect b+w of Daddy and the new baby in a great frame is always a classic First F…
I have to admit that when it comes to baby books, I don't have a great track record; I have three kids and one half of one completed baby book. It's bad. I wish that I had this option back when my kids were babes because then I would be …
I will never forget that rush of giddy power when they put the baby registry gun in my hands. I had no idea what I was doing. I had no real concept of what I needed; just that I had the power to build my tiny nursery empire. Then the bab…
UPDATE: This service has now shut down. We highly recommend Citrus Lane for a similar service with products we love. -Eds There are actually lots of ways to make new and pregnant moms smile, most of them involving food, cleaning, and bab…
When our daughter was born, I did what so many mamas do: I started a baby book. I wanted to capture everything about her, along with the wonderment of being a new mom; I'd lost my own mother to cancer a year earlier, to the date, and I t…
