The Watermelon Chickens

June 30, 2010

It’s Hot! Really, Really, hot. So much so that, my poor chickens, walk around with their beaks open and wings spread out, just hoping for a cool breeze. That never comes. So as a treat I cut the ends off of a watermelon and stuck them in the freezer for about an hour. Then I [...]

First Hair Cuts….. Finally

June 29, 2010

The boys finally had their first haircuts. At approximately 2 years and 8 months old, I wasn’t sure this day would ever come. But their hair has been growing and growing and growing, it just, had a slow start that’s all. Lalo (My Mom) manned the scissors and the boys were ready to go with [...]

Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake

Where have I been?

June 12, 2010

I was lost in the bliss that is Jalapeno Margarita’s. Nah, though I can dream; Can’t I? This week I have been thrust in the trenches of potty training and dieting. Both in and of themselves could really make a person want to drink, and drink a lot. I started Monday morning with the Sacred [...]

Jalapeno Margarita

June 8, 2010

I was browsing some recipes the other day and came across this one for Haberno Margarita’s. They instantly sparked my interest I have a deep love for all things margarita. I had to try these, but using our garden jalapenos instead. The flavor of the margarita’s were outstanding, a slight heat was present, but not [...]

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.
