Spring Looks at The Children’s Place

It’s spring for real, and here are some flowers to prove it, if you don’t believe it based on my recent garden updates! These flowers were spotted around the Lake Lindero neighborhood in Agoura Hills.

It is the perfect time to stock up on kids’ clothes for spring, too. I checked out the newest looks for spring at The Children’s Place last week, and aside from leaving there wishing I had a little girl to dress (and also that they made floral jeggings for adult women) I was so happy with the fashions I found.

Durability is the most important quality to me when I am shopping for clothes for my boys. If you asked them directly, though, they would say comfort and “coolness” are also very important. So I stick with elastic waistbands for pants, and “cool” prints and styles for shirts. The Children’s Place is where I often shop for them, because the durability to affordability ratio is right up my alley.

I snatched up adorable plaid shorts, polo shirts, and khaki’s for my boys and I couldn’t resist this adorable outfit for my niece.

There’s always a great sale at The Children’s Place, so it’s one of my first stops  at the Oaks mall, and now there is a store on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana, too!

Happy spring! Here’s to not putting holes in the knees of the pants the first time they wear them…

I received store credit at The Children’s Place to facilitate this feature.

March Madness, Baseball Style

Put me in, coach!

Today was the opening day of Agoura Pony Youth Baseball. There are 700 kids playing in this league across 6 divisions, and when they lined up along the track at Agoura Hills High School this morning, they were like a rainbow of little boy energy just waiting to burst through the ballon arch. Agoura Hills Dad took a picture of each team as the children marched in their little parade. Is your kid here?

Our younger son is in the youngest division – Shetland, in which they play what is referred to as “instructional baseball.” The second part of the slideshow above depicts his team’s first game, which was less a game than an exercise in futility as 18 four- and five-year-olds scampered about with varying degrees of paying attention to the action. The upside to this loosely organized sporting event was that each kid got to have his at-bat twice, and everybody hits. They get 5 pitches, and if the bat doesn’t connect that way, they get a chance to hit the ball off the tee.

I don’t know what the score was, but these kids had a great time, and everyone in the stands was laughing. Here’s to spring!
