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 ...

$10 Tuesday | Beer Butt Chicken

Weird, right?!? It sounds so gross but y'all it tastes so good. This is one of my summer favorites but now Ill grill it or bake it to help me prep food for the week. It makes the chicken so juicy and not dry one bit! Ingredients: Whole Small Chicken: varies $5 to $7 A can of Bush Light: .63 cents 2 Tablespoons real butter: .05 Mrs. Dash Seasoning: $ 2.62 (optional) Total: 7.68 (or 10.30 with the Mrs Dash) Directions Before preparing the chicken, open the package then take the bag out of the chicken. (That little package has the gizzards, neck and liver? in it. I don't eat those things so I just throw them out). With an empty chicken, grab a can of beer. My dad says the rule is to take a big drink, but I'm not a beer fan so instead of drinking it, I pour a little bit into a bowl and set aside. Your beer should still be 3/4 of the way full. If you are baking the chicken, then you adjust your racks in our oven to fit the chicken if its standing. You put the beer in the...
