So here i am , creating just what the world needs another blog. Let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Laurie i am 51 years young.

that's it that's me.

As for my blog, Tape, glue and cement. These are the things that can put us back together when we are broken or lost. (or just feeling like we need a band aid..one large enough to go from head to toe) I hope to post positive, uplifting phrases to help you through your day. Or sometimes just to get you from moment to moment.

I don't know it all, not even close. I don't come from a full of love family with no drama..there is drama..

My husband of twenty eight years is a good man, who loves me unconditionally but still we battle every day demons. Alcohol, the effects it has to destroy all that is good. I come from a family of nine children, was raised by a foster mother for my teen years and to this day she is my mom..

I have two daughters, that live three thousand miles away from me, my oldest due to have my first grand baby in January. my youngest who last year went through a major life change her spinal cord was crushed in the lower part resulting in surgery four bolts two metal bars and a spinal fusion. She battles with what that year cost her and the thought that having children may not be an option due to where her hardware sits in her body.

I have been in the baby business for the past thirty years...becoming a nanny, Douala, and present at eight births..that is a baby person. i love little people, on some days more than big people. My daughters are baby peeps too. my oldest in reproductive medicine, and my youngest a nanny..and i mean a nanny she rocks it way more talented than her mama.

So what my blog will be is what ever i feel like sharing which could be not too much to TMI..that is me. I shoot from the hip, and really don't filter my words..i probably should but that wouldn't be me if i did.
