Before I had children, I got a good laugh out of seeing kids in public wearing a tutu or cape over their clothes and acting as if it was a completely everyday occurrence. What, you keep your superhero persona private?
Now that I have my own picky 3-year-old, I understand much more about which battles are worth having. I save my persuasive measures for days that I really want Big Sister E to wear the cute jeans and dressier tops that normally just stay folded in her dresser. However, that doesn't mean that I don't want her to be comfortable. It's just that I want a way to infuse a little style and personality into the otherwise same old, same old shorts and t-shirts that she usually wears.
What I want is an outfit that is colorful, fun, fits well and allows kids to play like kids. To find that, now I know that I don't have to look any further than the high quality and great designs at Hatley.


But when it comes to children's clothing, Hatley reigns supreme in terms of well-made, creative, adorable designs. Browsing through their Girls' Play Sets, I knew that Big Sister E would love not only how comfortable they would be, but the amusing patterns and unique style Hatley offers. With everything from dresses to

Sure enough, when the Social Butterflies Girls' Play Set arrived, she immediately grinned at the appliqué on the shirt and ran her hands over the soft cotton. Turning her attention to the knee-length shorts, she proceeded to point out the different color butterflies and that these pants had something she is a big fan of: pockets.

The only thing I would change is the opening flap where a zipper would be in the front of the shorts. Considering these are for girls, it doesn't serve a purpose (I doubt it would actually be used by boys anyway) and sometimes gaps open when Big Sister E bends or sits. However, after I get around to putting in a few stitches, the problem will be easily be solved.
Speaking of boys, Hatley definitely hasn't forgotten about

Whether shopping for apparel for adults or children or for one-of-a-kind dish sets, hilarious oven mitts or greeting cards that are sure to bring out a smile, Hatley has it all. Their high quality, natural fibers and green efforts make this a

Actually, there is one more thing. Hatley has also generously decided that one person will get to dress their child in a cute and comfortable outfit all summer long, because...
