Our family can't wait to take off to the beach or head out for a walk in the mud. For all the obvious reasons of course (who doesn't love a good muddy hike) but also because my daughters awesome new Elmo Polliwalks™ clogs have a little secret. Not only are they very comfortable or "feeling good and my size" in my 3 year olds words, have the super fun qualities of colorful Sesame Street characters, they also have special footprint indentations on the bottom so she can leave a trail of little Elmo prints in her wake. 

Preschool/toddler kids can easily take off and on these closed foam constructed clogs and they are soft yet very sturdy. Polliwalks also are No Waste Manufactured. All excess mold material are recycled so you can feel a little better about your purchase (they also use environmentally friendly packaging and friendly water based adhesives.) We found a "sneak peak" of fall/winter 2009 shoes and boots, which these Sesame Street clogs were part of, and we are thrilled to keep an eye out on all the fun creations that this kooky company is bringing us. $19.99 @ Amazon.Com

This is a common shopping predicament. You stumble upon an item that strikes you as perfection or just really catches your eye. You say to yourself.. Self, I Have To Have One. And then you make the classic mistake. You check out all the options.

The "View All Conundrum." Don't feel bad. This is more than just a rookie mistake. Choices are good, right? Shop displays and the helpful yet confusing "Other Suggested Items" that appear right next to add to cart buttons, tease you with the plethora of other choices. We are taught to research things, view the other color/size choices and to really stew over all the possibilities. Well, sometimes we don't have time for smart and that's when the I Can't Decide On One, I Will Just Buy One In Each Color syndrome takes over. 

Well, maybe that's not a bad idea. Especially when the item is $3.50. If you head over to the sale section of Madison Craft Studios On Etsy, you will find a large variety of adorable modern pendants for $3.50 - $4! Prices like these make you feel a little less guilty when you feel the need to buy in bulk. Even if you stray to the Shop Home to see what all is there, don't feel bad. Full price they are still a steal at $7. Visit MadisonCraftStudio's on Etsy.Com

These look like tons of fun. A little bit real, a little bit whimsy. Turn your photos into magical canvas creations with 3d embellishments.

Artist Cindy Wallace will capture your special moment in impressionistic style rendered on canvas. Starting at $400 @ MyArtisticImpressions.Com

Are you looking for some cool shoes for your yunginz? Than look no further than.. down under for some cool kicks for your tiny tots! 

Yunginz.Com.Au (yes that means from Australia) has some seriously styling canvas shoes for your posh little's. They specialize in trendy styles for younger kids. A little hipper and edgier than typical baby and toddler shoes. I learned early from my modish US hand-me-down source, that you may need to go beyond borders so that your kids are not replicas of all their class mates and give them a little flair. While we found that we had to order a little larger than expected (my testers have slightly wider feet) the kids were thrilled with their more grown up looking shoes. My 5 year old commented that his shoes were just like something his "cool" cousin wears (who is 11). 

For the girls, there is the uber-cool Camo Canvas Pink. This simple, one strap pink camo shoe, is a super easy fit and so perfect for summer. Sweet and girly but hip and tough. For the boys, check out the Checka canvas in  Black/orange. "Cool skate boarding shoes," as they were called at our house, but a great casual shoe for any occasion. Visit Yunginz.Com.Au for more styles.

Dresses seem to make summer easier. Throw on a dress, a cute pair of sandals and a fancy hair clip or bow and your posh little girl is ready to take on the world... and look her best in case you didn't have time to get yourself all dolled up! This adorable a-line dress from Jackaroos Boutique can be customized with your child's name. It's available in lots of other patterns and tons of sizes (0-3 months all the way up to 4T). $36 @ JackaroosBoutique.Com

Who wouldn't want to bring harmony into their house? More specifically, who wouldn't want to bring harmony to their sleeping baby? What if wrapping your not-so-harmonized or hyper baby in a super soft blanket that resonates positive affirmations would help your baby sleep better at night? With small children, there aren't a ton of things you can do if your baby is restless or hyper. Until they come up with Baby Unisom, we have to be a little bit more creative and organic with our sleep rituals. 

Call it hocus pocus, call it spiritual mumbo jumbo or call it worth a shot, from corporate logos to baby blankets, harnessing the power of symbols is an effortless and common practice. We, with out even thinking about it, respond to symbols. If you son draws a heart on a piece of paper and hands it to you, you know he is saying he loves you.  Bed time rituals are, from my experience with my 3, the number one method for good night sleeps. What about combining your evening ritual with a little added spirituality? Sending your child off to bed with their Lilitah Super Soft Babe' Blanket will wrap them in Clearing, Heart and Joy. The three symbols combined will resonate calm, safe and joyous energy.

We have spent a good amount of time with our Just The Symbols Lilitah blanket and there is something magical about it. After being in an accident recently, it's a ritual for me to grab my Lilitah blanket (although its covered in polka dots and my kids yell at me for taking their blanket) and my ice bag to vedge on the couch or in front of the computer. It's like wrapping up in a super cape of healing and harmony. When I look at all the symbols, I feel like my brain is strangely trying to connect. Whether that is because I read up on the symbols and was told my subconscious would pick up on them, my brain was just really confused or if there really was a connection of some sort there is something intriguing about the blanket. As for the kids, it has become the favorite nap blanket. They are old enough to have some feelings about what they go to bed with or lounge with and our Lilitah has become itself, a symbol of comfort.

For those of you who may be new to Posh Little, you may have just started to notice there is a whole bunch going on here. Lots to do and lots to see. Well, one area that is getting a little makeover right now is our Posh Little Arcade (it's the Fun link in the main menu above). It has tons of free games for you and some for your little ones too! Right now the arcade is getting a little makeover and games are being cleaned up and added.

One cool new addition is the seek and find (hidden object) game The Scruffs. Your given a list of objects you need to find in your junk pile of stuff. Embark on a journey of love and learning with the only family in the world that has an excuse to be messy - The Scruffs. Burdened with financial troubles and a looming deadline to sell their family home, The Scruffs have enlisted your expertise to help them stave off this family crisis. Grandpa "George" Scruff has come up with a clever plan to save the day... but the solution comes with a grave price. A shocking secret that Grandpa Scruff has tried so hard to erase from his memory is now at risk of being revealed. What is this secret and why has Grandpa Scruff kept it hidden for so long? Scour though the house and find the clues that will help save The Scruffs' beloved home and uncover the secret that will change their lives forever.

Hidden object games are probably our favorite computer game to play with the kids. It's fun for mom and the little ones love to be able to help. You tell them what to find (or maybe you have a little reader that can tell you) and then you hunt for the treasures. We got both the kids Grandma's hooked so they always have something fun to do with the kids! If you like Where's Waldo™ you will love this genre of game. Play The Scruffs!

Summer is just now getting here but many moms are thinking about sending their little ones off to preschool or day care, planning trips for the summer or prepping the little ones for some sleepovers. If your children are anything like mine, then they love packing. It somehow makes the destination or event start right away. They get all ready and then ask every other second if it's time to go yet.

Here's a very handy, light weight and compact nap mat that will make nap time cozy and fun and also ease the packing process when you need to get out the door.

The Nap Pack, from Crafty Baby, is a genius and practical solution for your traveling napper. Not only is it a super soft fleece blanket, it has an attached pillow, Velcro straps and a handle for easy carrying. My kids practiced unrolling it, getting cozy with it then rolling it back up again probably 50 times. One of them even asked for it to be nap time! A cozy portable blanket system that encourages nap time... yes please, I'll take 3. $39.99 @ CraftyBaby.Com
