• Give the Twins a break!

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  They cant really sing, their dancing is a bit suspect, theyre irritating and its a good job theres only two of them. But I felt a bit sorry for Jedward  on Saturday night. Despite their chutzpah, theyre just two young boys and knowing people are booing them cant be easy. Goodness only knows how their parents must ...

  SavortheThyme — Authority: 421
  There are times where you want or need to make a little dessert or treat so why not take the opportunity to up the nutritional value? I found this tasty apple cupcake recipe on EatingWell . Now, I actually changed it a bit but I am certain in its original state, it is fabulous as well. Since I did not have ...

      One of my favourite retailers, Next , has just launched their Next Generation competition to find aspiring little models aged four to seven to take part in a shoot for the  Directory.

  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Its hard to believe that Bob the Builder  has been going for over 10 years now - like Handy Andy or Craig Phillips from Big Brother/60 Minute Makeover, he just doesnt seem to age. And on Sunday my friend Chris took his three-and-a-half-year-old son to see the stage show Bob the Builders LIVE! Spuds Big Mess. ...

• Dear Santa, this Christmas I would like...

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Even with the postal strike, theres one letter thats guaranteed to get through and thats the one that begins Dear Santa, Dear Father Christmas or (if theyve already cottoned on) Dear Mum and Dad. It is, essentially, a list of presents and it takes your offspring a while to compose (bonus, at least theyre quiet). And ...

Yesterday Harriet and Hannah were talking about Robert Pattinson, aka Edward from Twilight . Hes so buff, they sighed dreamily.

• Our Trick or Treat night flight

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Last night we took Ben, Harriet and Harriets friend Hannah on a Trick or Treat flight on the London Eye . As you know Im not very good with heights, especially when Im in a glass closed-in space and its dark outside. But actually the wheel moves so slowly you hardly notice youre in a pod (unless you look down at ...

• Fang-tastic Halloween tea-time treats

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  For me, baking is simply a perfect half-term activity - it doesnt cost a fortune, it takes up a whole morning or afternoon, you can teach your kids about weighing and measuring and there will be something delicious to eat afterwards. Get your kids into the spirit (!) of Halloween with these delicious tea-time ...

• Lets go to the zoo... or not?

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Recently I was talking to a mum about a city zoo we had both been to. I thought the animals were cute, she said. And yes, of course they were cute. Adorable, even. But I also thought they looked deeply unhappy, pacing up and down behind their glass. So why did we go? Well, I thought it was a farm zoo - pigs, goats, ...

• Let the wild rumpus start

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  I dont mean half-term (although actually, its probably pretty apt). But were ridiculously excited in our family about the new Where The Wild Things Are  movie. Its always been one of our favourite books - Im sure the Man of the House wont mind me telling you that he improvises with sound effects for the monsters, ...

• Great lies to tell small kids: Santa Claus is REAL

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  My sons big blue eyes were wet with tears, his bottom lip trembling. What is it darling, whats happened? I asked, clutching his hand as we made our way out of the school gates. He took a deep breath, his voice choking with sobs. Michael said Santa Claus isnt real, he cried. He said your Mummy and Daddy deliver all ...

• Fright night

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Trick or treating is big business round where we live - and on October 31 our street starts to resemble Hogwarts, with little witches and wizards everywhere. I always make sure I have a copious supply of sweets ready for the after-school candy-grabbers, the 5pm shift and the tea-time collectors. And of course every ...

  Were huge Roald Dahl fans in our family and of course if there are two words guaranteed to get me to the cinema its George and Clooney.

  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  I know quite a few families who didnt manage to get away this summer, but have decided to head abroad for the October half-term. And who can blame them? There are lots of fantastic activities to entertain kids across the UK (watch out for my round-up next week) but sometimes you just want guaranteed sunshine and the ...

• Should TV be banned for the under-twos?

  
  LivingwithKids — Authority: 470
  Most mums I know let their little ones watch TV. Not from dawn to dusk, obviously, but maybe an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Yes, a few of them probably use the goggle box as a sort of virtual au pair, something to entertain their children so they can get on with their chores without being ...
