What's in my nappy/diaper bag.....

Hey everyone !

So first of all, the nappy bag I'm using at the moment is the Pacapod Napier in Moonstone.  Here's what it looks like.

It is by far the best nappy bag that I have ever used, and believe me I have tried out ALOT of nappy bags!!!! 

The thing that i love most about this bag is, its "pods".  I love how it has a " feeder pod" and a "changer pod"  so they can easily be grabbed if they need to without having to take the whole bag!  

I've always been a fan of grab bags but these pods fit so much in to them, unlike any grab bag that I've ever had which you'd be lucky to fit more than a few nappies and wipes in !! 

So first lets look at the "feeder pod".....  In here I always carry 2 sippy cups, either empty or with water already in them and then snacks appropriate for the journey we're taking.  This day we just popped out to the library in the morning so we had some rice cakes and raisins in here.  But we have gone out for entire days and I have managed to fill this pod with all their food plus snacks for me aswell !  I also have in here some Tommee Tippee Antibacterial soother and teether wipes, not for soothers or teeters but to wipe down any surfaces or if their cups get dropped in the mud somewhere (lets face it, it does happen !!) 

Next onto the "changer pod"  This has the basics for changing nappies inside! Spare nappies, wipes, the changing pad, nappy sacks, some anti bac hand gel and some vaseline ! 

There are 2 pockets on the back, one zipped and one with a magnetic popper.  In the zipped compartment i keep my phone and i also have some Disney Princess playing cards in the little elasticated pockets! 

The other pocket usually holds more antibac hand gel as it can be accessed very quickly, tissues and my keys! 

The main section of the bag has a zip to close it and can fit a large amount considering the pods in the front of the bag.  In here I keep an entire spare outfit for both girls and my purse.  But of course on longer journeys and trips out I would add a few toys or books into this section !

Attached to the side of my bag is my buggy clip!  I never go anywhere without this! i love it for holding shopping bags when we're out with the stroller !!  I got this clip for just €7 in Harvey Normans of all places!! 

So thats my nappy bag!!!  I definitely recommend it !

New Playroom!

When I came back to work after Christmas there was a lovely surprise waiting for me!!! 

Before this all the toys were up at the top of the kitchen/dining room.  It's a very big room, so it wasn't cramped or anything but because it was a large room when it was a cold day it was very hard to keep it warm.  So now all the toys are in this little playroom and its so snuggly and cosy in there .

There was also a lot of new stuff that they bought especially for the playroom, for instance the reading corner roof, the easel and the big tent! 

It may not seem like exciting news, but I thought it was !!!!

Wedding Anniversary !

It was the girl's parents 4th Wedding Anniversary this week, so I decided to do some cute and fun crafts with the girls !

First they made them a gorgeous card each.  I gave them lace, ribbon and material to stick onto a piece on lemon coloured card.  They both did a fab job!  I then stuck these pieces onto an a4 piece of card and folded it into an actual card.  The girls signed their names inside (!!!!!!)

We then went to the shop and bought large bars of chocolate (white and milk) and we broke them up and melted them . 

We transferred the melted chocolate into my mini silicone heart moulds and put them in the fridge to set.  I found a little glass jar in the euro general shop for only €1, so i tied a pretty ribbon around its neck and filled it with the chocolate hearts!!  It looked so pretty and the girls parents loved it !!!

A very late Christmas Post!!!

Oh my goodness I know I'm late !! But i just had to share the Christmas crafts we made to hang up over Christmas !

The girls loved making them all and their parents have saved them all to hang up again next Christmas!!

These are our Santas !  We made these first before the Christmas decorations were up and they just LOVED them, and kept waving hello to Santa !!

Christmas trees, with fluffy bobbles stuck on and coloured in gifts underneath!! 

Our snowmen !!! I crocheted them real scarves which the children got so excited about! 

Rudolph!  The girls made one each but i only have a picture of one ! 

Angels!!
