    Okay, I automatically LOVE anything Kardashian-free. Jill’s brother Chris saying “hello” and love the site. Am I sassy? I guess so! Merry Christmas, Chris Carpenter.

    Laura, I too am glad I clicked on you site. It is a wonderful way to connect to the fun times of Kilgore and let people know what’s out there. You are doing wonderful job. Love the pics and seeing some of the classmates. I’m looking forward to finding out things about San Antonio so I can really enjoy the city with my family. oh, like Alan said you’re having way too much fun “working”……Keep it up!

      Yeah Angela! I begged her and Janie to give me some of their Rangerette pictures and she didn’t want to leave out the Tom Landry one with her BFF! I just loved to watch you all doing the high kick! I have a lot of posts about Kilgore! What a great place to grow up! Hugs to your sweet family.

      Thank you Nancy. My husband was teasing me about taking my readers through all kinds of emotions-I guess this would be the “Life” part of the blog! I am so glad you enjoy reading it. Take care.

    I came across your site while looking for reviews on Flying L’s waterpark. I’m originally from San Diego but I have lived on the east coast and midwest. My husband and our 3 kiddos have been in San Antonio for 8 years. I love your site! It seems like you understand that with 3 kids every activity does not have to be an episode of “My Super Sweet 16.” The simplicity of taking a picnic to a park does not mean you’re not fun! I instantly connected because you don’t seem to be chasing the “have-tos.” It’s realistic.
    Thank you!
    P.S. Due to your review we did go to Flying L’s. My kids are 10, 6, and 2 so it seemed like something for all of them. Plus I hate crowds ( almost lost the 6yr old at Seaworld when I was pregnant with the third on 4th of July. I know, what was I thinking lol ) Not only did they have a blast, the hubby and I did too. Unfortunately we had an incident with some outright racists but despite their preference we will go back.

      Hi Jessica! Thank you so much! I am so glad you found Livin’ Sassy and the Flying L. I am sorry about the incident. I am not sure why people act the way they do. I appreciate your kind words and being a reader. Maybe we can meet in person one day around SA! Take care, Laura

    How do I get the bows if I want to buy them

      Hi there! Are talking about the bows from Sam Moon I blogged about awhile back? I can’t think of any other hair bows! Sam Moon has a website and you can check there or you can always go in one of their stores. I’ve shopped there since the early 1990’s when I lived in Dallas, way, way before online shopping! Hope that helps.
