The seasons are changing! My poor daughter has nothing to wear for spring weather. Most days she sweats it out in long sleeves and leggings, or bears her tummy in too-short t-shirts from last summer (sorry, kid).  One of the joys of having kids is that you are forced to buy them clothes; true, this can be a financial nuisance – but it’s a fun one.

I used to only think of Carter’s as the adorable newborn outfits and onesies that you put your squishy little bundle in when they were oh-so-tiny. But I am now discovering that they have a great line for growing babies and kids, too; clearly my 10 month old is rockin it in the photos above, and when I was pregnant with baby #2, Carter’s was the first place I went to get my toddler her first “Big Sister” tee.

And, bonus, the stores close to me seem to constantly have sales going on, so I always feel like I’m getting a good deal.

With spring officially sprung, they have two great new lines for babies that capture the season and the cuteness of your little ones. You can find new collections for kids, toddlers and baby clothes in all Carter’s stores and online.
 

Carter’s Spring Line for Baby Girls:

Your baby girl (NB-24M) can sport the Flamingo Friends line, made up of navy and hot pink combinations with florals, polka dots and a hint of flamingos. There’s lots of girly details like ruffled sleeves and pockets, as well as ruffled swimwear.

Some of my favorite pieces in the line are making me miss the days of having a baby girl (where has the time gone?):

If my 3 year old still looked good in floppy hats, I would make her wear them, because I can’t get enough of them. I think the chin strap hat after 12 months is a no-no, though… I am loving all the ruffles in these pieces, and that swimwear cover-up is just too cute.
 

Carter’s Spring Line for Baby Boys:

Baby boys (NB-24M) have lots of options with the new Mommy’s 1st Mate line, with bright green and navy blue plaids and stripes. Lots of little animal details like octopuses, whales, and fish are included too. I’ve always been a sucker for plaids. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the line:

Nothing beats a good polo onesie – it’s a staple in our house. As are baby flip flops, because squishy baby feet in flip flops are about as cute as it gets. Also, I am the first to admit that I am sort of obsessed with the shirt/onesies/pant sets from Carter’s (as evinced by Lincoln’s pictures above) because it takes all the guesswork out of getting my boy dressed (bonus for when I ask dad to dress him!).

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
