It’s been a long time. Well, almost a year since I interviewed my last Meet the Newlywed couple (63 couples in all) and, from when I started, over 2 years have passed. Lots can happen in 2 years. I thought it would be fun to re-visit the couples and ask them a new set of questions. See [...]

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.
