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!

Breathless Riviera Cancun

T his past weekend, my husband and I were able to get away with a few friends to enjoy some sunshine in Mexico. Let me just say it was a much needed relaxing getaway. Marriage is hard. Add kids into the mix, its pure chaos. We decided to get married and have kids STAT. We knew that's what we wanted and thankfully God liked our plan. But with that came struggle. We barely knew how to live with each other and love each other let alone balance other human beings. We made it a goal to go on one vacation each year, just us -- A getaway so we can reconnect and get time just us. This year we went big! My 30th, his birthday, our anniversary we had lots to celebrate so we went back to one of our FAVORITE locations: Breathless Riviera Cancun. If you’ve never been to Mexico, put this place on your list. I will warn you however, you get spoiled. Let me share with you my favorite things about this resort! This resort is newer (roughly 5 years). It is an all inclusive, ad...

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 ...
