What’s that on your legs?

October 27, 2010

Yesterday morning the boys were playing outside in the back yard, while I was running (around the back yard), I stopped off in the house for a quick water and potty break. I mean heck they are almost 3 and there is absolutely nothing they could get into back there. You know where this is [...]

Big Boy Beds

September 22, 2010

I was dreading the transition from cribs to big boy beds, but I finally put if off long enough, I mean they will be 3 in November. It’s just they slept so well in their cribs, I feared they would never sleep again. But luckily I was wrong. We set up two twin beds straight [...]

First Hair Cuts….. Finally

June 29, 2010

The boys finally had their first haircuts. At approximately 2 years and 8 months old, I wasn’t sure this day would ever come. But their hair has been growing and growing and growing, it just, had a slow start that’s all. Lalo (My Mom) manned the scissors and the boys were ready to go with [...]

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 [...]

Mother of Twins Prayer

June 7, 2010

It’s been one of those weeks days when I need to be reminded of this prayer the most. Mother of Twins Prayer There’s two to wash, There’s two to dry; There’s two who argue, There’s two who cry. One’s in the mud, Having a ball; The other holds a crayon… Another marked wall. Some days [...]

Reality Snaps

April 28, 2010

Just when I think the boys have out grown getting on top of the kitchen table and tearing everything up. And I might be able to leave the room to start a load of laundry. Reality snaps back to me very quickly. It’s not enough that they found the markers, but they also found my [...]

But sometimes like today he has beat me to the punch. That sneaky little rascal. Please share your wordless Wednesday post!!! Or in [...]

The park a true learning experience

February 24, 2010

*Stop by and Enter to win my Book Giveaway One and the Same.* I took the boys to our local park playground on a beautiful cool sunny day last week, one of very few we’ve had lately. We all needed some sunshine. But as the boys were running and playing, sliding and swinging. A thought [...]

It was a peaceful afternoon over the weekend and the boys were playing and I like usual was just randomly snapping pictures, when unbeknown-st to me (or as to why) a major hissy fit unfolded right before my very camera lens. Here Little W (back) and Little H were casually sitting in the back of [...]

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.
