30 day shred week 5 & 6 Results

March 30, 2012

I skipped last week’s update because of my Father-in-law’s death, but still managed to shred 4 times. Which was not an easy feat. I am glad I stuck with it, because of any time I could have easily quit, this would have been the time. So, week 6 started off much better and I shredded to level [...]

German Chocolate Cake

March 27, 2012

We are a cake eating family, as is evident by my The Kitchen recipe index, where my largest section just happens to be cake. If someone asks what’s your favorite cake recipe, I am hesitant to say. Honestly, I kinda love them all, I don’t know if I could pick just one. How could I live [...]

And the hits keep coming

March 18, 2012

We lost our Father/Father-in-law yesterday. Pawpaw (as the boys called him), had a long hard battle with cancer, diabetes, dialysis, infections and finally heart failure. Though, as I type all those horrible diseases I still can’t believe he is gone. He was a fighter, his body was failing him, but he did want to believe [...]

30 day shred challenge week 3

March 9, 2012

Half-way done and that feels good to say. I am feeling so energized, more and more as each day passes. In fact, I even got on the trampoline yesterday and did 2 front flips (I haven’t done that in years) and jumped for about 10 minutes without feeling too winded. Level 2 is killer, I [...]

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.
