Play Date’s Ninja Pajamas: Kids’ music download of the week

by Christina Refford | Entertainment, Kids

When you’re setting the tone for bedtime, a lullaby or two can do the trick. . .that is, until the kids consider themselves too old for such sweetness. So even if they’re still heading off to slumberland with their favorite lovey, a couple of nightlights,...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz

 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Tech in 2010 to help make our increasingly digital lives easier, more organized, more meaningful, and more fun, however old your kids may be.

We love that it's grown to become the go-to source for millions of parents who want commonsense info about tech delivered with a smile.

We even have the privilege of sharing our tips + tricks with The TODAY Show, CNN, HLN, GMA, Nightline, newspapers and magazines around the country, and our favorite -- regular parents who stop us at PTA meetings and ask us how old kids need to be to get a smartphone, and whether they really need to panic about Snapchat.

(Answer: It's complicated.)

We're so glad you're here! And we hope we can help you too.
