Where have I been?

June 12, 2010

I was lost in the bliss that is Jalapeno Margarita’s. Nah, though I can dream; Can’t I? This week I have been thrust in the trenches of potty training and dieting. Both in and of themselves could really make a person want to drink, and drink a lot. I started Monday morning with the Sacred [...]

Spicy Romano Chicken

April 27, 2010

Blackberry Cobbler (Sugar and Gluten Free)

Four Christmases

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.
