Conjunctivitis Has Made Me Into A Crazy Person

Firstly, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2019 and what it has in store. Before I start, I did write this piece prior to all the Christmas festivities and had intended to post it before the big day. I sat on it for a while,…

Is It M.E. Or Just Me?

I feel like I am constantly apologising for the lack of content I am writing for you all. Just as I get my mojo back, I go backwards a bit and sometimes take Rory with me. The poor little lady had impetigo about a fortnight ago so was in great need of TLC (not the…

#TeamMacBrooks

When signing off from the last entry, I didn’t envisage this next post to be this far into the future. I was hoping to keep a steady flow coming. You were hit with two posts in a matter of days and now been left for little under a month with no updates. Blogs have been…

P Is For Potty

I can’t sit here behind my screen and pretend that we have nailed this part of the of Aurora’s development, but we’re pretty freakin’ close. Our biggest rival in this whole matter is Mr Hanky (South Park reference for the kids), whom we hope will be a main player way before Christmas kicks in. Having…

Georgia on my mind (I)…

...well not quite, it was probably on Ray Charles’ mind at some point but not quite on mine. I thought I would take a little break on updating you on Aurora and my health/medical retirement and just throw out what seems to be going on in my brain at this moment in time. I just…

One Step on The Social Ladder…

Not for us mere parents, sorry if the title led to confusion. I was referring to the social ladder of an almost two year old! Before I go on, I know my avid following of readers (who am I kidding) have been wondering where my blogs have disappeared to. “One blog per week he promised,”…

A Brief Update About Everything Part III

As promised, a little update on what’s been going on in the MacBrooks Household... Aurora Well she just doesn’t stop growing! Or eating. I mean, she has her moments where food won’t pass her lips, she does like to make us worry; we are her parents after all. That only lasts a day or so…
