During my recent mad dash through Target, I came to a screeching halt when I saw this little dress. It actually reminded me of H&M kids. It was so cute I scooped it up for my little girl. So cute!
I immediately made her try it on and it was adorable! This is perfect for the summer, the pool or a lazy night of fireflies. As with most adorable items at Target, it will probably go quickly.
For the boys, I like this Shaun White Tee for $7.99.
And for the little guy in your life, Carters makes this adorable ensemble.

This fall Del Ray's eclectic "Avenue" welcomed Bellies & Babies, a consignment boutique catering to expectant mothers and their children. The boutique provides a great opportunity to both recycle and buy local. Handmade items complement a selective collection of gently worn clothing, and the prices fit every budget.
Owner Dawn Luepke's experience prompted her to open the boutique; she had her daughter, Emma, and her son, Aiden, only 15 months apart. A former Housing and Urban Development manager, she was expecting Emma while working full-time and needed an appropriate professional wardrobe. The clothes she did purchase weren't practical once she became a stay-at-
