Hand prints = Mothering fail

December 1, 2011

There are moments during motherhood where you feel you are striving, really providing, and teaching your children well. Like, when they use manners and share their toys with others. I smile, yes, I am doing something right. Then there are moments when you feel like you have completely, utterly failed. Today I am writing about [...]

First day of Preschool

September 21, 2011

I am I am totally that kind of mother that thinks her babies will be little forever, and that with every passing day they aren’t growing or changing and learning. So when their first day of preschool (prek-3) came, needless to say, I didn’t handle it the best. This is just the first step of [...]

Paci Fairy

July 13, 2011

Paci’s, Pacifiers, Binkies, cha-cha’s, all the names for the boys Paci’s over the years. I have a love/hate relationship with them. Love that they comfort them and they slept so well with their paci’s, hated the fact that they needed them and they are 3 1/2 years old!!! The boys, on the other hand, purely [...]

Stuck at home

March 7, 2011

I wish I could say the reason I haven’t been blogging lately is because we’ve been traveling and enjoying life, but the sad truth is we are stuck at home with the flu, slowly hitting each member of the family and lingering it’s way through the week, blah, blah, blah……. I will be back to [...]

Whispers from God

February 10, 2011

As Oprah calls it, small whispers from God, he’s trying to delicately tell us something. Giving us small little glimpses of what is or could be. I got these whispers a few times shortly before I found out I was pregnant with the boys. A casual trip to Babies”R”Us with DT and all we could [...]

Toy Organization

January 26, 2011

The boys’ closet and toys have been neglected for some time now. As embarrassing as it is to say, we used laundry baskets to throw their toys in, no organization, just whatever went where ever. It was a mess. A huge, annoying, thorn in my side mess. I finally had enough. After their birthday and Christmas our house [...]

Laundry Basket Lockdown

January 7, 2011

As a mother I will admit that sometimes I need a breather, a chance to take a long bath, or read a good book, or watch a movie of my choosing. Unfortunately for me and most moms, that just doesn’t often happen. So listen up ladies, I’ve invented the best method of child distraction ever. [...]

No Shame

December 1, 2010

At Thanksgiving on DT’s families side this year, Aunt Uba (DT’s sister) had the wonderful idea of bringing a karaoke machine for the kids to play with. Little H had lots of fun giving it a go, and lots of moral support from Little W, who is currently laughing at him. Did that stop H? [...]

3 years of silly faces and sweet kisses

November 23, 2010

*Be sure to stop by the Meal Planning Giveaway this week* Happy 3rd Birthday Boys! So much has been packed into your three years of life. Much more than I will ever remember, therefore I blog. My memory of your first 6 months are a bit foggy, what a change we had been through, going [...]

Toy Pile Daddy

November 10, 2010

The other night as I am cooking dinner, DT and the boys were playing in the boys room, but the boys kept running back and forth with the couch pillows and giggling so loud. I thought hey what’s going on, but didn’t really investigate since DT was supervising and all. After a while my curiosity [...]

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.
