Where to start?

Yikes! Has it really been so many months since our last post?! 

Honestly, life has been hitting us full throttle. When it comes to where my time is going…..it's been enjoying rocking babies, cooking meals, teaching school lessons, single parenting while the hubby is working 50-60 hours per week, working on our little business, teaching classes on living a life of wellness and somewhere in the mix trying to keep our family centered and growing towards God. 

Lots of changes are going on around here. Some I will reveal in the coming weeks. ;) Ha! 

First, thing I need to address is our sweet new addition to our family! Our laid back, happy sweet girl, Kyndall Jade! She has been a delight to our family and so easy going. She adores her siblings and laughs the most at her silly older siblings! 

Our family has adjusted well to the newest member. We were expecting some acting out and a bit of jealousy issues from Jude. Thankfully, God had mercy on this momma, and this has been the smoothest birth to new baby addition yet! All of the kids have taken to baby Kyndall so well! They love her to pieces and are great helpers! Jude especially has a soft spot for his baby. He lays next to her and talks and plays. He is always asking to hold her or help me. Super sweetness, I tell you! Makes this momma's heart swell! 

Watch for Kyndall's home birth story! I'll be posting that soon! Also, I have some fun fall make and take projects we did last month and working on a Christmas themed one now. 

There is some exciting stuff happening in our little family right now! It's too soon to let it all out, but you'll find out soon enough! 

Blessings to you my friends! 

Diving In

   Welcome to Kindle Your Creativity! 


   My name is Briana, I love everything crafty and DIY! I am a frugal crafter and try to do my projects with a lot of what I already have. Scoring great deals at garage sales and thrift stores makes my day! 

   I am 25 and have been married to my Mr. Right for 5 1/2 years.  We live in central Arkansas with our two amazing kiddos, Eli (4) and Brooklyn (2).   I am blessed to be able to stay home with my children to be there for their "first's" and teach them along the way. During the weekdays I do childcare from my home to help supplement our income. With the extra little ones around we try to stay busy with different crafts and activities. 

    My Husband just finished his bachelors and we are in the process of waiting for God to open the next door. As we wait we are trying to finish updating and remodeling our first little starter home. So far we have done ALL the work ourselves. It has been a great learning experience both DIY and in our marriage! haha  We have lived in our little 1,000 sq ft house for about 3 1/2 years and we are more then ready to upgrade to a bigger house.  With that said you can expect to hear about our fun times as we finish getting our house ready to sell.

   My goal is to blog about my projects and encourage others to find their creative side. I want to share how I find frugal ways to get creative.

   Crafting has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. I can remember spending hours creating master pieces out of popsicle sticks and glue. Today my creative side has evolved and I hope is more attractive then glue and sticks!  I will be posting about my mommy adventures, projects, kid crafts, great finds, yummy recipes, and much more!

I would LOVE to hear from you! Comment or email me if something inspires you or if you have tried something similar.  I love new ideas and frugal tips. 

 I want to keep this blog an encouraging and fun environment that is non threatening. We are just talking about crafts and recipes right?  You can find my comment policy here. 


Thanks for stopping by. Hope you see something you like!
