Cool Mom Picks From January 2007
C-Ellabrate Good Times
It's almost hard to imagine, but children's music hasn't always been as wide ranging as it is today. However, there were some early pioneers, like the wonderful Ella Jenkins.

Rawkin' Before They're Tawkin'
There's no shortage of kids clothing with attitude if you know where to look. As in, get out of the malls and hit the web (with Cool Mom Picks being your first stop, of course).

The Maternity Three-Way
I can personally attest to the fact that by the time you pop that baby out, you're ready to burn all your maternity clothes. Not just because most of them aren't up to your prepartum style standards, but because you wear them so much you're just damn tired of looking at them. With that in mind, the 3-in-1 dress from NEST by Swanky Maternity is that perfect addition to the maternity closet
The Wonderful, Terrible Twos
Those of us who have ever dated a musician (ahem) can agree that deep down, they are all children. Which is why it's perfectly logical that the faces of a hip act like, say, The New Amsterdams, also are the minds and mouths behind a fantastic new kids' band.

More Mommies To Love
In a world where Heather has two mommies, as do her friends Olivia, Aiden and Sam, we think it's high time the old standby "I love my mommy" onesie took on a 21st century twist. The I love my moms... ... [More]
Mom Created, Dad Approved: BabyHawk Carriers
There is no shortage of moms writing in to Cool Mom Picks to recommend their favorite infant carriers. But when a new dad takes the time to rave about one, let's just say we're anxious to see what the deal is.

Fighting the Winter Blahs With Baubles
While Spring is still a good several blizzards off, at least its start will happen in this calendar year. Which means that already my head is onto woven bags, lightweight trenches, and updates to the wardrobe that don't include black, brown or grey.So I'm loving the Chalcedony Cleo necklace from mom and talented designer Lisa Van-Horn of LisaJayne jewelry.

The Perfect Swaddling Blanket, a.k.a. The Sound of Silence
Swaddling inspired total fear in me as a new mom. I knew it was an essential part of getting the baby to stop crying for two seconds; it's just that it seemed like one more new skill that my postpartum brain wouldn't be able to handle.

Hit the Road, Jack. And Emma.
Balancing the everyday logistics of work and home: No problem. Planning a vacation for our family of four: Problem. I become paralyzed with information overload, and all I want is for someone I trust to give me the real scoop on what to pack, where to go, and what to do.

Dinner for One, Hold the Microbes
Whoever invented the Tiny Diner Portable Placemat has definitely walked a mile in my shoes. Whenever we go out to eat, I have no choice but to put pieces of food right on the table because my year-old son is known to send his plates sailing without so much as a head's up, suckas!

Not Everything In The Bath Has To Be a Duck
I have a definite nostalgic side to me. Don't even get me into a conversation about 80s music or 70s Saturday morning TV unless you've got a few hours to kill. So when I perused the hip mom-run e-boutique Baby Oh My and found these groovy non-slip tiles by Funmade Bath Art, I suddenly knew exactly what the future held in store for the floor of my tub.
