es, my child wears glasses

I originally posted this back in 2013. Yes, my daughter wears glasses and has been wearing her glasses since she was about a year. Every once in awhile when I am out and about I get a feeling of being followed. I get a tap on the shoulder or I am just stopped and asked the big question “How did you know your child needed glasses if you don’t mind me asking?” I am all too happy to let them know. When my daughter was first born we noticed a … Continue reading →

Music Through the years

Music through the years has changed, but I have always listened to the same music. Listening to music takes me to different places in time, where I first heard a certain song, who introduced me to certain bands and of course the types of music I listen too. I was brought up listening to all music, and enjoy all types. I do have favourite songs or groups but when I listen to music it always seems to be the same. I started with of course the good old radio stations, … Continue reading →

Each season I find at least 1 new show if not more to add to my growing list and a few have been removed due to cancellation. Before I … Continue reading →
