This week Bookworm Baskets received rave reviews on one of my favorite "Mom" sites -- coolmompicks.com. I've been following CMP (Yea, that's right! I'm comfortable enough with my coolness to just throw out an acronym like that) for quite some time. They are an excellent source for all things COOL! Many of the unique and handmade products found in a Bookworm Basket, as well as lying around my children's rooms, are coolmompicks. They specialize in finding the latest and greatest from "indie" designers and mom/women-run companies. They really have a flare for weeding through the "wanna-bes" and showcasing high-quality and often eco-friendly products that you wouldn't find sold, and I quote, "at that place that rhymes with schmall-mart." You'll find reviews of an array of baby products, services, websites, cool causes, and now...book-themed gift baskets.
The mom's behind the reviews are an intelligent, highly successful, and extremely witty bunch of women. Their reviews are informative with a funny, sassy, twist that always puts a smile on my face. Best of all they are living, breathing proof that Bookworm's are Cool! Co-founder Kirsten Chase, pre-CMP was a published textbook author and college professor -- hello, doesn't get more bookworm then that!! Liz Grummbiner (fellow New Yorker) is the co-author of Booty Food, a sassy collection of recipes and menus for every stage of a relationship you can imagine, from flings to marriage. Hmm...cool and naughty!
So needless to say, I'm thrilled that BWB (yes, we have our own TLA) has been "picked" by these cool, smart, sassy, bookworm matriarchs to be amongest the coolest of the cool. I feel like geek-gone-prom-queen! "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!"
