Magic Pants, Part 2, Magic Cleaner, and Bubbles!

I am over the moon for these Old Navy compression workout pants.  I have the boot-cut, the tights, and the capris.  I have even found myself doing laundry in order to wear these workout pants again and again, rather than slumming it in my Target ones (which are actually more pricey).  Anyway, something about the compression fabric makes your bottom half look incredible.  Seriously, any bumps or lumps in the booty or thighs is just smoothed right out.  Call up the sisterhood, because these are truly the magical pants.

Also, can I just tell you how much I am loving my new work from home uniform?  I am that mom who stays in her workout clothes all day, and I am reveling in it.  I mean, years of structured suits and pumps and panty hose?  It feels so good to be in washable play clothes. Eventually I will start dressing like a normal adult (I hope), but elastic waistbands are currently my closest friend.

Dell Harper likes something a little more blousony, personally, but is also into the play clothes.  She is into everything, which means I am going through bottles of Baby Oxiclean like nobody's business.  A friend gave me some at my shower, and I internally scoffed that I probably wouldn't ever use it since I was positive I was having a girl. HA! I am now on my third bottle of the spray.  It is the best!

Dell Harper did a little modeling for my friend Colleen's clothing company, Little Hoot Designs.

I just can't wait to order the seersucker bubble she modules, and the ruffle one with the rick rack trim.  Anyway, they have adorable children's clothing at great prices.  Check out their website here- http://littlehootdesigns.blogspot.com/

I have the toughest time finding clothes for Dell Harper that aren't mini teenager clothes, neon, black, or emblazoned with slogans, or logos.  Trunk shows and Baby Boden are about it for me, but sometimes you need to go out and buy something on the spot (like when your child is all of the sudden busting out of 12 month, but too small for 18 month).  Do y'all have any secret places for finding simple, sweet children's clothing that won't bankrupt me?
