18 Month Update + Easy DIY Chalkboard Signs

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

Have you seen those super cute chalkboard signs? People use them for birthday, back to school, pregnancy announcements, you name it. I love them. I think they are a great way to mark a special occasion. Like my little man turning 18 months old! :D
 
DIY Chalkboard Signs
Taken 9/8/2015, although 9/6 was his half birthday.
 
I will give you a full update when he goes to the doctor (which will most likely be after vacation). But isn't the picture just too cute? And it was so easy to make thanks to a random chalk board we had lying around and the Liquid Chalk Ink Markers by CHALKOLA I was sent to review.
I thought I would share all the ways that you could easily use these markers to celebrate a multitude of special events because these markers give you bold, smooth letters that won't get smudged once dried.

Safely Storing Baby Food with Littleware Storage Containers

This review is sponsored by Littleware. All opinions are my own.
 
My son is going through a weird phase with food right now. He wants to feed himself, but he is picky about finger foods. I'm not sure what to do. I decided I should probably bring the baby food maker back out and start getting nutrients into him anyway I can.

 
I have always liked to make my baby food in bulk. So when I was sent the Littleware Baby Food Storage Containers to review, I was kind of excited because they look like little baby food jars. Littleware Baby Food Storage Containers are BPA free, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe.

Adventures at Dragon*Con 2015 #BehindTheBlogger

My family and I went to Dragon*Con over Labor Day weekend. If you don't know what Dragon*Con is, it's the Southeast's largest sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming convention. This made my 10th year going. This was the first year that we got our own hotel room (didn't share with friends), brought the kids, and were able to go the whole weekend. It starts on Friday and ends on Monday, but most people get there on Thursday (like we did).

Thursday with Storm Troopers. Friday with The Pirate Fairy and Rapunzel.
 
I babywore a LOT. Thank goodness for my LILLEbaby. I got a lot of comments about it. Some just admired how cute he was, some said how hard it must be to bring kids to con, and then there were just random comments. I enjoyed it though. It was a great way to carry him around and he would get so excited when he saw me start putting the carrier on. It was really cute.

Yes, those are Star Wars suck pads. :D
 
Dragon*Con has changed a lot since we have had children.

Pampers NEW Cruisers Review + $75 BRU Gift Card Giveaway #Ready2POP

This post is sponsored by P&G. All opinions are my own.
 
Did you know that Pampers has updated their Cruisers? Pampers' Cruisers also feature Sesame Street® character designs and include wide, stretchy sides to provide their best fit yet! The 3-channel absorbent core was developed with parents’ feedback in mind & represents 4 years of research.


They are a little big because I was sent a size 5 which isn't what my little man normally wears. He usually wears a size four and only because he is a heavy wetter. He still had no accidents even though they were a little on the large size for him.

Brian the Pekingese Pajamas Review {#ApparelForFall Giveaway ends 9/21}

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

Before I had my son, I was able to work with Brian the Pekingese on a pajama review and I am so excited that they have let me review them again because how cute are these to in coordinating pajamas?!
 
 
I loved the concept of how Brian the Pekinese plush was created, here's the story:
"One day, my mom and dad came home from the hospital with a little baby boy. I had never seen a person that small before. And it sure cried a lot. At bedtime, he seemed to like having me in the room next to his crib. He was relaxed, and so was I. That is when my parents got the idea for Brian the Pekingese® pajamas and plush toys.
