I’ve recently been to a Children’s Place store in Manhattan and got a chance to see what Spring and Summer with my kids will be like – bursting with all colors of the rainbow! There are just happy colors everywhere! I recently went to a blogger shopping event and got a bunch of clothes for my kids in pink, yellow, light blue and orange.
