Yippy Dada - Pipple Pink baby changing bag review by Emma


Yippy Dada - Pipple Pink baby changing bag

Review by Emma and the twins :)
Yippy Dada kindly offered this changing bag for us to try out and review when the girls were first born. 
The bag is in an incredibly trendy and modern design which is brilliant for the modern mum. It comes with a matching bottle holder and changing mat. As well as having the carry handle to use like a handbag it also comes with an extendable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder or put over your prams handle bars.


The bag is spacious, there is 4 pockets each big enough to fit in a bottle, a keyring clip, an internal zip up compartment and the loose area. There is more than enough room to fit in a few bottles nappies wipes and a spare change of clothes for when babies have their little incidents. Even the inside has a pretty print rather than just plain!

If I can fit every thing in for 2 babies I am sure mums of singletons will have no problems at all :) 



The bag is hard wearing and has remained in lovely condition after 3 months of use so far. It is combination of faux leather and canvas and wipes clean - one negative point is that it isnt machine washable but I know a lot of us mummies would still probably put it in the wash though to get it extra clean!

I would rate the bag 
10/10 for design
9/10 for space
and 7/10 for cleaning

The Yippy Dada Pipple pink baby changing bag is available to buy direct from Yippy Dada for £75

My Amazing Pram

I have been so fussy with pram shopping, I wanted something modern that was mummy facing when baby out grows the carry cot and I wanted it chap as Im not exactly the richest person around!

This is the beauty that I was lucky enough to get


A quinny buzz including dreemi carrycot and carseat for a bargain £80! It was 2nd hand of course at that price but it is in immaculate condition and I just love it :)

I have always been a bit of a pram addict - I have had a lot of buggies over the last 4 and a half years for the 2 babies I have had - infact I may do a post soon with lots of photos of all my past prams lol :) 

Im so excited about this pram though - I just need to invest in a buggy board for Logan now and I dont have a clue which to get!


Pregnancy update! :)

I have been soooo busy these last few weeks that ive not had much of a chance for updates!


Bump is growing well.... very well infact he is measuring big and i will be having a growth scan soon


Here is a couple of recent bump pics! The 1st was at 30+1 and the 2nd at 32+4, i dread to think how much bigger I am going to be by the end......




This week I have been shopping for baby and got some of the coolest baby clothes ive ever seen for bump including some batman PJs and a superman sleepsuit! I think asda just became my fave shop for baby clothes!

Here is another pic :)  How cute!! The blanket in the middle I got from tkmax it is the softest blanket i have ever touched and it matches my robot/ space theme I seem to have for bumps things :)

The superman suit was £6 and the batman pjs £7 :)

Creating things for baby DEXTER!

There you have it thats what we are calling our baby boy....


Dexter :)


I have been busy crafting a lot recently to pass the nights and to just generally keep myself busy!


Here is a small selection of recent makes :) 


A bib, a taggy blanket, a knitted hat and a knitted frog (there is also a cushion in the photo but as you may be able to see it has an L on it! Thats for Logan hehe) 


I think its nice to create things for your children! Im certainly not the best at sewing or knitting but still it is nice to have unique items that you know no one else will have :)


I have also made a bumper and blankee for the baby crib! 


Do you make things for your children? If so what kind of things do you make? Give me some inspiration hehe! 

Coping with changes for toddlers!

I keep wondering how Logan will adjust to the new addition of the family in June and how I will manage to divide my time so that all 3 children get equal attention.


Logan is in a lot of ways very much a baby himself, his speech is still quite limited and he loves cuddling and like a lot of children just getting as much attention as possible :)
I do worry he may become jealous of the baby having mummies attention but im hoping any problems we will be able to deal with as and when the come!


Im not too worried about how Lexi will cope as she is very excited and cant wait to meet her 2nd little brother, but who knows it could be that Logan is the one who adjusts fine and Lexi could have problems!


Have your little people ever had difficulties when a new sibling has arrived? If so what did you do to make the transition easier for them?
