I've got a little infatuation with bags, and Pink Lining bags are one of my favourites; stylish and practical, I can always fit in everything I need. The Boy is developing a bit of a liking for them too with a lunch bag and satchel to add to our collection.
Pink Lining were eager to help celebrate three years of TheBoyandMe, and have offered a wonderful Mini Yummy Mummy bag worth £39.00 as a prize to one reader.
The Mini Yummy Mummy bag comes with a fold-up changing mat, zip front pocket for keys, money and phone as well as a back pocket and dividing pouches inside. The bag also now comes with an adjustable shoulder strap that is long enough to fit over most pram/buggy handle bars. Internal Features: 2x small pouches, a fold up padded travel changing mat and a small zip pocket.
One lucky reader will be able to choose their prize from the three designs; Bumble Bees and Stardust, Cream Bows on Peppermint, or Purple Dragonflies.
