Weaver Adventures

Do you ever feel like you're going a million miles a minute? The busy of life overwhelms you. You just dream of a vacation, quiet, getting away. Then I have the perfect place for you >> Woodland Cabins in southern Illinois. Located just outside of Carbondale Illinois, its nestled perfectly on a quiet plot of land so you are close enough for convenience but secluded in your own little piece of heaven. This was our first visit and our entire goal was to RELAX. Literally do nothing for two days other than enjoy each others company. We arrived Friday and the FIRST thing we did was open the door to awe. Our cabin was WoodSong & it was quaint, adorable and so homey. They even had an adorable Christmas tree set up for the season. The second thing we did was jump in the hot tub! It was located just outside our bedroom door so the perfect way to relax on a cold winter night. We surprised some friend who were also staying on the property. The fireplace was lit and it w...

If you know me, you know I LOVE travel and adventures. I love exploring new places and experiencing it with people I love. Quality time, its my love language! This weekend filled ALL the cups! It was our annual Diamond Retreat. This is something my best friend and I host for our team of badass women. They could earn it by growing their business, facing their fears and helping others. I mean, who has a job that when you show up to be your best self you get treated to a better business, vacations, travel and friends?!? MEEEE and its why I love it! Last year we hit up Florida and this year we knew we wanted to have a more quiet, secluded trip where we could just have our space to hustle, grow and relax. So Tennessee it was. Ill admit, Kyra and I spent MONTHS looking for the perfect place. We hit up Airbnb & VRBO to try and find a place that fit our wants. Big enough to house everyone, cute enough to throw a party & perfect for what we envisioned. We've had a few Airbnb fl...

Do you ever just want to like escape. Just you, your thoughts and some peace and quite? As a momma even when I get a break, its NOT a break. I normally have a laundry list of to-do things from my husband, kids and of course the house. A mom's job is NEVER done and yall that shit is exhausting. I learned, you just gotta set some boundaries by taking time for you. WHOAH. Its so unthinkable I know. I was totally that mom too. I can't stop. Stopping, my family can't function without me. This is my list; who else is going to do it?!?!? But this crazy thing happens. When you step back, slow down and just recenter you feel SO MUCH BETTER. So now I try to take time for me weekly. Whether its laying in my hammock during naptime, hanging out with friends or staying up late eating ice cream & junk tv; I know I need it for me.  When Kristin messaged me saying she was going to be home I instantly knew what I wanted to do. Shes so me, she loves getting outside, hiking, exploring, jus...

O ne thing you will learn about me is I LOVE adventures and memories. If you’ve ever heard of the love languages before -- I'm a quality time type of person. Being around people makes my heart happy and makes me feel valued and worthy.  -- that could be a whole blog post in itself -- back to this post. Another thing you will notice is that I'm all about budgeting. SOOOO adventures for cheap or free, with people I love?!? YES, please. This makes my heart explode. A few weeks ago, Kennys grandmas assisted living home hosted a carnival! I’ll be honest I almost didnt go. But it was grocery day and I asked the boys. Needless to say, they were heard over heeeeeeelss excited to go hang out with Gramz. T he carnival was small and cute. The staff was amazing and so much fun! They gave away all the prizes. My kids, of course are competitive so they kept trying harder and harder to get all the goodies. On top of that, they made homemade lemon shake ups, funnel cakes & corn dogs. I...

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...
