Cool Mom Picks - The Princess and the Pen

The Princess and the Pen

I'm not a fan of princess-y stuff per se, but I'm not above using small doses of it here and there when it's really needed. So when we came across the EpiPen Princess, a pink pouch for holding potentially life-saving injectors for kids with allergies, I thought yep. Good use of the sparkly crown motif.

For less than $35 CA, if it's going to make your princess more likely to toss it into her backpack or overnight bag, that's $35 well spent. What the heck, toss in a tiara too. She's earned it. -Liz

Ask Cool Mom Picks

I was wondering if you have any 'cool picks' of kindergarten or early school memory (K-6) books. I have googled and just havent found the perfect thing. -Amy

Ask Cmp Placeholder

Kudos on being super prepared for Back to School, Amy. We have to say that the School Years journals are definitely a great way to go. Plus, they remind us of what we had when we were kids.

For something that's not necessarily school specific but will allow your boys to keep up with all their year long experiences, including school, check out the This is Me Journal.
