A New Year…

...A New Me... Only kidding. That is probably one of the most over used phrases around the festive period heading into January. Though I get behind someone wanting to better themselves or to change, I find New Year’s Day is possibly not the greatest time to want to do this. January is a bleak month. Everybody…

The Beauty of The Hidden Camera

This is definitely one for the slightly younger generation, maybe not quite millennials onwards, although they will have certainly grown up with this. I mean the joy of that camera that allows you an insight into your child’s world, when they think you’re not looking. Our not so hidden camera is a gift from The Gods, originally,…

A Brief Update About Everything Part II

A little over three week’s since my last blog update and I must admit that it didn’t feel like it was that long. So I thought maybe it was time to hit all my avid readers (hello Lindsay; hello mum; hello Ginge - think that covers you) with my brief update part II, I  promised…

Harry Potter Tag

A blogger friend of mine, Jessicacrafts Ever The Crafter open tagged anyone who read her last blog to join in. You can read it here and choose to join in like I did if you wish. I mean it was an open tag, and Harry Potter!!! How could I refuse? What House Are You In? Not Slytherin heeeey???…

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

Or so they say... Everyone in the MacBrooks household appear to be over the bug that seemed to plague our dwellings for the past fortnight. Thank goodness. No one enjoys being sick and I have had my fair share of that sadly, but it’s even worse seeing your little child suffering. You just want to…

Sleeping Beauty

Fairytale or reality? We really have been lucky with Aurora, her couple of sick weeks recently and chicken pox over her first birthday aside; none of which are her fault I might add, but she is the perfect little girl. Our perfect little girl. Maybe that’s parent biasedness and quite rightly so, you’re meant to see your…

Doctor Denotes Discharge

Of the best kind... As this blog is mainly aimed to share my experience as a stay at home papa to bring up our beautiful daughter, Aurora. Also, doing this whilst suffering with ME; I feel I should throw you all some good news. As my condition since my relapse has been going the correct…

In Sickness and In Health

A title that does well for your beloved children as it does for your partner in crime (significant other). I have wanted to stick to my deadlines of publishing every Thursday as I stated in a previous blog. Unfortunately our little princess, our little Tink, is ill. She had a nasty cold a fortnight ago…

Our Little Monkey

There comes a time when every parent has to face up to the reality that their child(ren) must leave them and become part of society and get educated. Rory is, fortunately for us, a few years off of that yet; but we don't want her first day of school to be the first time she…

Intermittent Fasting

As promised, a post about my beginnings with Intermittent Fasting.               Another A Brief Update About Everything Part II will follow shortly... Well, back to it, I started Intermittent Fasting over a fortnight ago now and half way through week three I am amazed at the results. Having suffered through my…
