Today, we got this comment from reader Katie, who's looking for shirts that celebrate the power of women and girls in sports. She wrote (lightly edited for clarity): My nephew, father of two young boys and a young daughter went on Facebo…

I can't think of a better role model for young athletes (and young people in general) than GOAT gymnast and mental health advocate Simone Biles, so I was thrilled to see the new Simone Biles collaboration with Athleta Girl . The collecti…
This week we're doing something I don't think our team has done in 15+ years -- we are taking a full staff summer break . (Whoo!) Some of us are traveling , some of us are hanging with the kids, some of us are counting the seconds to Ted…
Barbie has been busy lately. She's gotten a new variety of body shapes (with dad-bod and man-bun Ken by her side), she's taken on our heroines from A Wrinkle in Time and Wonder Woman , she's figured out that yes, women can code . Today, …
Let's be honest, the Olympics coverage is a mess. (And you know I'm a total Olympics-watching geek if you have been following our Instagram Stories on Cool Mom Picks !) Live events aren't live -- unless they are. The medal ceremonies see…
I'm a total geek for the Olympics, which means I'm a total geek for Olympic crafts for kids every two years. Sitting with my kids, watching the pageantry of the opening ceremonies featuring athletes from countries all over the world, is …
During a time that so many people are waking up to the essential need for diversity reflected in all aspects of life, we're so thrilled to see that toy makers are getting it too. Especially one of the biggest in the world. Which is why w…
So I'm so happy to share that Julie Kerwin, founder of the female superhero action figure line, I Am Elemental , has put together some fun free printable female Olympians coloring pages . The set of 15 printables features incredible wome…
Update: Most of these Olympic crafts work just perfectly for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Yes, the one in 2021. I have to admit, it's been a little difficult to get as excited about the summer Olympics as usual with all the trouble su…
With the Summer Games set to begin on August 5, we are getting ourselves ready to do some Olympic-sized television viewing as we cheer on the amazing athletes from around the world. So if you're celebrating what is sure to be a spectacul…
Though it's clear that the Olympic athletes we've been watching at the Sochi Winter Games all want gold, all three of Micro Kickboard's new medal-hued scooters would be winners with my kids, regardless of what color they choose. All dres…
The Winter Olympics will kick off this Friday night with their Opening Ceremonies, which is possibly my favorite part of the Olympics. My family loves watching this huge party on TV, but to be honest, the kids get a little bored by the t…
While we're all still on this post-Olympic London kick (man, aren't you dying to go right now?) it was great timing that we discovered this brand new children's line straight out of London. [ don't miss a fantastic limited time discount …
One of my very favorite things about the just-finished London Olympics was seeing all the gorgeous footage of the city itself. It's made me even more determined to get my kids over to see Big Ben, London Bridge and their picturesque city…
Though enjoying the Olympics means that we are all watching about 2000x as much television as we normally would on a nice summer's day, I love how inspired my kids' play has become. Whether they are turning the couch cushions into hurdle…
Whether or not my kids will one day stand on the podium of some future Olympics is not yet determined----have they started a category for intense video gaming or speed LEGO building? For now, though, I love these shirts that let them pro…
With so many of us on the verge of Olympics fever, a Summer Olympics party is such a great way to get older kids into the spirit of the games. Whether you're just trying to make the opening ceremonies more exciting on Friday, or throw a …
We've found a set of free Olympics printables that bring the excitement of the far-away Olympics a little closer, no passport required. Which is great because the closest we're going to get to London for the Summer Olympics is through ou…
When traveling, I find myself falling in love with places I go. I usually try and find something to take home with me that will always remind me of it, which is probably why I love when artists create that same feeling with their artwork…
Just because America broke up with England a few hundred years ago doesn't mean we're not still desperately interested in their royal family. Especially since it's about to be infiltrated by a commoner like us. If you're as excited as we…
It's very possible that some of you may score some new technology for the holidays. And of course we know that it's the gift that keeps on taking--that dandy new iPhone 4 will require a spare power cord, decent ear buds, some fun apps, a…
I can't believe I'm already looking at back to school items for my kids, but that I am. So I checked in to see if last year's CMP find, Dabbawalla Bags , was doing anything new for 2010. And that they are. Good stuff too! I adore this Un…
"Hey! I wanna get dat!" is what my four-year-old son yelled when he saw the hip little Mini Cooper kids' tee from charlieandsarah. He loves the stylin' red Britmobile on the front of this comfy long-sleeved tee. I love that this shirt is…
