Hello There!

It seems like every year about this time, I get the urge to start blogging...and I never stick with it. I am determined to make this year different! First things first, then: a quick introduction. My name is Amy. I am a 39-year-old stay-at-home mom to two terrific, wild, challenging and hilarious little boys. Well, to be honest, they are not so little any more. They are growing up terribly fast. They are the center of my world, they fill my days with laughter and silliness, and I am blessed to be able to spend all of the time with them that I can. I love to write, I love to cook (although I am not terrific at it, but I am working on it really hard!), I love watching sports and spending time with my family. This is just my little corner of the internet, a place where I can talk about things I'm interested and that I love. I hope you'll join me!

Quickly, I will give an explanation of the blog's title. Sass, sports, and sauvignon blanc will all be discussed with great regularity here, I am sure! As my boys are getting older, sass is becoming a daily part of our lives, for better or worse. In my past life, I taught preschool and elementary school, so I'm really comfortable with little kids and love being around them! But my boys are passing the ages I'm most familiar with, and I'm entering uncharted waters as a mom. Dealing with "sassy talk" and smart mouths is at the forefront of my mind right now.

Sports are also a huge part of our lives! My boys play soccer and lacrosse, and we've dabbled in basketball and flag football. My youngest does Tae Kwon Do and loves it. We are also a HUGE sports-watching family. We are dedicated college football fans and will watch just about anybody play. We NEVER miss an opportunity to watch and cheer on our Clemson Tigers. We also love the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers. Sports bring us together, and the fact that I love them helps this girly-girl from losing her mind being surrounded by boys!

And finally, I've saved the best for last...sauvignon blanc. Delicious, delicious wine. I don't pretend to be a wine connoisseur. In fact, I've really only been drinking it for a couple of years. I do want to learn more about it, though, and am willing to do all manner of market research in this area. :) My husband and I are really considering a summer trip to wine country. I'm not sure yet if that will happen, but a girl needs dreams.

Thanks for reading along. I'm always excited to meet like-minded people, so feel free to comment! I look forward to (hopefully) keeping this blog up to date!
