Genuine Huckleberry Finn

Do you ever get so caught up in your to do list, just going about your day every single day trying to get as much done as you can?
Y'all know I'm a stay at home working mom. Balance, well that's not a thing. Some days I rock the mom hat, other days im slaying my business. The hard part for me is that I LOVE my job. No literally
I get up every morning at 4 am with FIRE ready to take on the day.

I sometimes forget that the regular days just are boring for my boys. Don't get me wrong, they love to hang out. They love each other and they are the best friends. They get along so well that it truthfully is so easy to let them do their thing.

Lately I've been going through the motions. Just normal day to
day but neeeeding to get out of our house. So I can have a break, so they can have a break and so we can get real time together.

My friend had reached out wanting to get the kids together to play in the creek (which my boys love) she mentioned fishing, again weaver boys = obsessed. So we were down to play.

I was thinking, ya know, grab some poles and fish. She took us old school && it was PERFECT! We hunted for sticks that would be sturdy enough she grabbed some line and hooked us up! We were using little pieces of hot dogs -- not too big or the minnows would eat them! 

At first my kids thought she was crazy. Eventually we found a good hole with fishies ready to bite! It was fun to wade in the water, see them face their fears & catch some little fish. Its things like these that really bring me peace and happiness. Being able to go outdoors in the sunshine and get dirty.

Maybe pole fishing isn't your thing, maybe you've never tried it? Either way I want to challenge you. Before you get in the new routine of life and crazy with school; unplug, go outside, find your closest state park, lake or mud hole and just ENJOY it!

And if/when you take on this challenge, please share with me. I would love to see how YOU enjoy the outdoors with your family. You can find/share with me on IG @deidra_weaver

Happy Tuesday friends! And big thanks Charyssa, this adventure made our day. We appreciate you!

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better. I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...

Turkey Run Start Park

This weekend we decided to get away for the day. Our family needed an unplugged day outside with each other. Honestly we have only hiked together a few times because, well kids. Its hard with 3 littles all so close in age. When one wants carried, they ALL want carried. With summer coming to an end I'm making it a goal to get outdoors before it's too cold. Anyways, we decided to go for it. It was a drive for us, but came prepared. We packed extra outfits for the boys along with food for lunch. If you're like me, you're all for saving money so here is what we had! We  prepped a cooler with fruit, tortillas, lunch meat -- specifically chicken and pepperonis-- cheese, crackers, carrots, raisins; just things that are simple, easy & we can take on the go. PLUS lots and lots of water. In the map we weren't sure where to plug in our GPS so we stopped by the camp store before we  went too far and the cashier was sooo helpful. The shop was awesome. In front o...
