Who am I?

Hey there,
Thanks for stumbling upon my blog. I'm not sure what brings you here, but I hope in my words you can find just what you're looking for.

Before I dive in, I feel like I need to tell you who I am. I'm Deidra, the writer, the momma, the doer.

Literally I wear like a hundred hat. I have 3 amazing boys who I get to stay home with daily. My husband Kenny is my best friend & biggest supporter. He is a union carpenter & the best daddy to our boys. Raising a family, now that shits hard. Its a full time job in itself.
On top of that I'm also a virtual health coach. Each day I get to wake up and share my heart, my journey and inspire other women. Being a "health & fitness coach" is something I literally NEVER would have imagined. I'm the girl that hates physical activity and can smash a pizza like nobody's business. How this fell into my lap, well that's a different story. But every single day I get to wake up passionate about helping others, giving back and empowering YOU to believe you are worthy and capable of amazing things.

Wow, even just writing that seems weird.
Me, inspire others? Yeah, I never thought that was possible. I mean I'm totally ordinary. Just your average momma trying to manage the chaos and grow into a better person each day. That's the cool thing though.

I love being outdoors and I LOVE adventures.
My favorite color is pink.
I love to dance and sing (even though I'm not good at either).
Sunshine & laying in a hammock is my definition of happy.


Now, onto the blog and why you're actually here...
What can you expect?

I'm going to be 100000% transparent, who knows! My dreams since middle school was to be able to travel the world and share photos and tell my story in writing so others can see, here and travel through my eyes. Maybe inspire them to step out of their comfort zone and check out new places.

I've tried & failed blogs multiple times so even just writing this is a push for me. But the thing about life is YOU get to create it. So let's turn my dreams into reality! -- no really, hold me to it! Oh and if you're the grammar police checking to make sure its perfect. **spoiler alert** it totally will be terrible because I'm not professional and my style is anything but ordinary.

My goal is that you can come here, read and relate but walk away with knowledge that you can use. I will share me and my life.
My travels, because well that's my favorite.
But also momming, the real life behind the scenes.
Marriage; and how I deal with the ups and downs.
Our debt free journey; because its totally going to happen.
&& honestly anything that pulls at my heart.


So thank you, for taking time out of your day to listen to me, to invest in my heart & my words.
- D

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 ...

Make today your day 1

Mondays, A fresh start, new week, the inevitable day 1.  Today is day 1 for my new boot camp. && It always excites me to kick off a new boot camp because of the energy and hope my challengers show up with. They commit to joining with their heart set on crushing their goals. They are excited, full of energy, not sure what to expect but ready to try their hardest. They want to be healthier, happier and more confident. The BEST part about my job is giving others the opportunity to do something for themselves. I love seeing them PROUD. Sharing their sweaty selfies, saving no to junk food. Smiling because for the first time in forever they did something for them.  You see, these small acts. They are HUGE acts of courage. Facing your life and deciding you want to change, that is hard. It means you have to overcome old habits and create new ones.  Often our biggest struggle isn't that we aren't capable. Its that we don't believe in ourselves yet.  To ...

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...
