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!

$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

You know my goal is $10 or less, What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP! Friends, get on my level. That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals! Overnight Oats & Eggs Super simple, super easy, budget win. x Now let's break it down. Oatmeal -- $2.29 Blueberries -- $2.29 Almond Milk -- $1.99 Eggs -- .88 Mushrooms -- 1.89 ________________________ Total spent = $6.57 But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all. One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess. Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16 Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57 Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28 Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15 Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38 __________________________ Total for one meal = $1.54 Mind.Blow...

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

Improving your Marriage

So many have been asking and encouraging me to share about marriage. Which honestly is so interesting to me because often Kenny and I fail. We struggle. We are human and humans make mistakes. In life each of us are just doing the best we can. We don't have a users manual or a how to guide. We just show up and react to what life brings us. That's both good and bad. Because our actions are often defense mechanisms. We only know what we are taught OR what we are willing to go out of our way to learn or unlearn. I want to encourage you to LEARN about marriage, about your spouse, about you. You can look at the next couple on social media. How perfect they look. Their life, their love, their family & be envious. Compare yourself and your marriage. Pick apart your spouse because they don't do what her husband does. Let me just tell you, your marriage is yours alone. You have nothing to prove to the next person on facebook or instagram. When you're showing up for t...
