30 day Shred day 5

May 25, 2009

Just finished working out, day 5, Yea! It feels good. Its getting a little easier and I am getting deeper and more controlled with each movement, which is hard, hard, hard! But like Jillian says its only 20 minutes make each movement count, so I am trying. I am still on level 1 but today [...]

30 Day Shred day 3 & 4

May 24, 2009

Day 3 didn’t happen, ugh. Why? Do I have an good excuse? No not really. And to be honest I almost completely forgot, well my head did but my calves didn’t. But I did shred today at noonish during the boys nap. Let me just say why does it seem harder during the day, then early [...]

Weekly Shopping Results

May 24, 2009

I did excellent on the budget this week! I love that. $6.00 under budget and lots of that remains due to the fact that we have tons and tons of fresh veggies from the garden. There were a couple good deals on chips, cheese and lunch meat. We took advantage of those for DT lunches, [...]

Summer Garden week 10

May 22, 2009

I spent the majority of last weekend, blanching and freezing green beans and squash. Now don’t get me wrong I love having fresh vegetables and I will love having them in the freezer ready for my use at any time. But its so easy to feel just a bit overwhelmed by the massive amounts that [...]

30 Day Shred Day 2

May 22, 2009

Stretch (moan) move (moan) ugh. Yes this is my way to describe how I felt getting out of bed this morning, sore! But not to discourage anyone being sore is a really good thing, it means I worked my muscles and they are on their way to change. Now if I wasn’t sore then that [...]

Meet the Newlyweds Jenny & Morgan

May 21, 2009

One of my favorite things about “interviewing” the Newlywed couples is that I take the extra time to really research their blogs. I search far back, check out links and really try to get the feel of the blogs and the couples that are being featured. And let me just tell you, its fun! I [...]

30 day shred – Day 1

May 21, 2009

So this morning I set my alarm for 5:30 so I have plenty of time to do the video, shower, and get me and the boys ready to go for work. And guess what happened, it worked out great, yes you heard that! Great! Picture this here I am starting the video, eyes barely open, [...]

Dirt, Sticks and Mud

May 20, 2009

I am always amazed by children that don’t like to get dirty. Like if something sticky touches their hands they immediately stop doing that, or if they are outside playing they don’t specifically pick up dirt and sticks to chew on. Really, I guess amazed isn’t more the word but jealous of the mother of [...]

30 Day Shred

May 19, 2009

I was recently checking out a fellow blog Hi Jill, all in which she was talking about how to die a slow and painful death by a video from Jillian Michael’s (my favorite trainer from The biggest loser) called the 30 day Shred, I was immediately intrigued, especially when she admitted to being so sore, [...]

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.
