Rolo Pretzel Treats

December 15, 2010

Pecans, Pretzels, and Rolo’s. Just these three ingredients make up a delicious Holiday Treat. Sweet and salty, my favorite combination.

Egg Ornaments

December 10, 2010

My favorite website for everything chickens is backyardchickens.com. It was there that I stumbled upon the idea for decorating chicken eggs for Christmas ornaments. After all, I had tons and tons of eggs and I think they are absolutely adorable. That and I am a bit of an Christmas ornament collector. Blowing out eggs and making [...]

Oh, Christmas Tree!

December 8, 2010

This Christmas the boys are 3 and very interested in helping decorate their own tree. I simply set out their ornaments and they started decorating. They took the job very seriously and loved hanging the ornaments, wherever they would stay. Which resulted in some unique decorating tricks. While they were decorating their tree I was [...]

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.
