May 29, 2009

The weather here in Southeast Texas has been perfect for growing summer veggies, one comment I seem to get most often is how we are already so far along with our garden and most living in northern states are just planting.

Howdy, y’all! Welcome to my blog world. I am Sweet Pea, a 20-something Texas native and a newlywed…well, almost. We wed May 2006. Shortly after we were blessed with identical twins boys born November 2007.

My husband, whom I lovingly call Double Trouble (DT), owns and operates a trucking company, and we use our CB handles as our names here.

I however recently converted from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. I love the new challenges that it brings and enjoy sharing my triumphs, messes, and adventures with you. I hope you enjoy reading about our busy lives with babies, cooking, gardening, trucking, and bargain shopping.
