The Sassy Mockingbird

One of the greatest joys in my life is exploring new places.  I don't like to say "traveling" because I feel like that should be reserved for a trip that requires a passport.  My life, as a mom of two awesome teens is most often filled with local trips, visits to see family and checking out cool places here in the U.S. Most recently we ventured into downtown Austin, Tx.  South Congress or "SoCo" to be exact.  We spent the day browsing through shops, people watching and munching at a couple of the iconic eateries in the area. Since we are self-proclaimed foodies, our first stop was of course for lunch.  We decided on  Homeslice Pizza .  Which, by the way is out of this world amazing!  It's the kind of pizza you talk about at work, dream about at night and contemplate how and when you will be having it again.  SO good.  Anyway, funny story...Homeslice Pizza has TWO restaurants located next to each other.  One is a normal, regula...

So often I find myself taking an idea for a recipe or craft and tweaking it and then forgetting what I did differently to suit my needs.  Did I reduce the sugar?  Replace it with something else?  Bake it for less time?  What?!!?  So, in an effort to save my sanity and keep the peeps in my home happy I decided to create this blog.  I chose the name "The Sassy Mockingbird" because it describes how I see myself when I take a published recipe, craft or whatever and make it mine.  I hope that you enjoy the changes I make.  If not, feel free to make your own changes ;-).
