Easter fun

April 28, 2011

Easter came and went with tons of Easter egg hunting and family time. The boys really got into the hunting this year and couldn’t wait to get going. Hunting at Granny’s and they are off! Little H found the golden egg with 1 dollar in it, but Sam wanted to hold it. We also dyed Easter eggs [...]

A broody….. finally…

April 21, 2011

Despite all the loss our family has endured the past few weeks, life continues on with my chickens. Maisie, my 8 month old Olive Egger pullet, became broody a few weeks back. I have hoped for a broody hen ever since getting chickens a few years ago. It’s very unusual for a chicken as young as she [...]

Blueberry Waffles with Maple Syrup (Sugar and Gluten Free)

April 19, 2011

Back in my sugar and gluten free days I made this wonderful recipe and then simply forgot about it, until yesterday when I was searching through some of my old photos.

A Pillar in our Family

April 14, 2011

Tomorrow we lay to rest one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was a pillar in our family, so strong, smart, loving, silly and perfect. Yes, I said it. Perfect, he was and still is a perfect man in my opinion. He lived a long and full life, with a wonderful wife [...]

Not to be

April 7, 2011

Monday was our first appointment with the OB/GYN and we had a Ultrasound scheduled. I was about 11 weeks along with an Oct 25th due date. DT and I were beyond excited to see our healthy little baby. We weren’t quite prepared for what we did see. Instead of a little body and heartbeat, they found [...]

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.
