On the seventh day of Christmas – Cooking with kids

December 19, 2015
It’s no secret that I enjoy cooking and I think part of my passion for it has passed onto our twins. This years they’ve helped me to bake our Christmas cake, apple pie and mince pies. 

You can read all about the fun we had baking our Christmas cake here.


I love baking and think it’s important to get children involved. Every week when I cook Sunday dinner our girls will help me to ‘snap’ the broccoli, pop the roast potatoes onto the baking tray and they’ll also help to set the table. 

Cooking is a basic life skill that every child should know, so it’s important to me that our girls learn how to cook. 

At the moment we mainly bake cakes, cookies and biscuits, but as the girls get older I’d like them to help cook more proper meals. In the meantime though we’re happy making cakes and eating them!

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.
