Save Handmade!
We’ve received an incredible outpouring of support on our recent post about the new CPSC Safety Improvement Act that is jeopardizing the livelihoods of the small businesses and artisans that we love.
So what did we do? We created our own Save Handmade! resource page to let you know how you can help (it’s easy) and where you can go for more info. We’ll also try to keep you up to date on any breaking news.
We also invite you to add this dandy button seen here to your own blog or website to help get the word out.
Thanks so much for your help mamas. Because we’d really hate for Cool Mom Picks to turn into Mass-Produced Crap Made From Plastic in China Because That’s All That’s Left in the World Picks.

I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
