I’ve been thinking about my sister Liz a lot lately. It will be 11 years ago today that we lost her to triple negative breast cancer. I hate cancer. It just really sucks. She became a grandmother this year. She…
Family
Home
After more than sixty years, we finally sold our family home. I guess the stars had finally aligned, and everyone was ready to finally part with it at the same time. We would always tease our mom about it taking…
Small Town 4th of July
I hope y’all had a great 4th of July celebration! We left late for the drive to see family so we ended up driving the back roads. I think I told you once or a million times how much I…
Resolutions
In 2016: I didn’t send out Christmas cards. I didn’t lose weight or participate in another half marathon. I didn’t organize my home office. I didn’t sign up tons of new clients. I didn’t blog more. I didn’t stop procrastinating….
Let’s Dust This Thing Off
Is this thing on? Hi y’all. It’s me, Sassy. It’s been awhile. Remember me? I’m the one with the big hair! I took a break from blogging and most of social media over the summer. I wanted to spend some…
Daddy and Daughters

As a mom, I always worry about my kids and their safety. Besides making them aware of “stranger danger”, the next thing on my list has been teaching them how to swim at a very early age. Lucky for us…
A Summer Sunrise
We just unpacked the last piece of luggage from which will more than likely be our final trip of the summer. Tomorrow kicks off football practice for our oldest and basketball camp for one of the youngest. And can you believe…
Double Digits
Ten. One and a Zero. Diez. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and now 10. It went that fast. I will never forget looking up at the monitor in the doctor’s office and seeing not one, but two bright heartbeats. And then hearing the news…
All Aboard on Amtrak
I did something a few weeks ago that I have never done before…..um, no, I didn’t clean my oven. Why in the world would I ever do such a thing? I rode an Amtrak train! Or make that, we rode…
Sassy in San Antonio
I am starting a new series on Livin’ Sassy. I’m calling it “Sassy in San Antonio.” It’s going to be like the “Sassy Girlfriend Top 10 Favorite Things.” Do y’all remember those? You’ll have to think way back, it’s when I…
