July 7, 2011

A couple of random thoughts on this Thursday Yesterday morning I awoke and found our sweet 13 year old Precious had passed away in her sleep. Truth be told, when we first brought her to our home, over 5 years ago, the vet said she wouldn’t live another 6 months, and every summer I thought [...]

In a funk……

March 23, 2011

I posted this post with this picture around the same time last year. It seems not much has changed, this time of year, and income taxes really seem to put me in a funky mood. It could be because I fail to post (for those of you who aren’t small business owners, it basically means [...]

The Kitchen updated

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.
