A day at the Rice fields

August 15, 2010

I am glad I know a few, good, hard working men in my life. You know the kind that drive big tractors, combines and trucks. The hardworking, sweaty kind. The kind that don’t mind getting dirty or a little physical work. The kind that have callused, dirt, engraved hands. The kind that wear wranglers and [...]

Bay Weekend

June 23, 2010

We finally got away. After months and months on DT working and working and working, we’ve finally took a small weekend trip to the bay. I can only tell you how great it felt to set foot out of the car and smell the salty, breezy, air of Carancahua bay. We had beautiful weather, though [...]

The boys were set with their favorite books and [...]

Schools were closed, people were let off of work early and we all got to enjoy the fabulous fun and cold snow. In [...]

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.
