Hi! We're Millennial Life

sharing in case you didn't know

Hey Reader,

A few days ago I was talking to an acquaintance on Instagram who just had a baby.

Her baby is a beautiful little girl, and every picture she takes of her shows her looking like a little perfect angel baby model.

I told her so, and she thanked me but responded that she had no idea how hard being a parent would be, and she couldn't believe I had twins.

What I told her, and what I've shared a few times before is way back 9+ years ago when my twins were born, I got so wrapped up in taking care of them that I lost touch with a lot of my friends.

I experienced debilitating PPD. I was living 2,000 miles away from all my family, and I was struggling big time.

Fast forward a bit, and I made it my New Year's Resolution to prioritize my friendships and regain the ones I had lost.

I reached out to some of my oldest friends from high school and reconnected. I said hi to other moms at the park, when my introverted self really wanted to avoid them.

I tell you all this for a few reasons:

Hey Reader, I was asking my kids in the car this morning about their favorite Thanksgiving foods. They, of course, gave me favorite Thanksgiving food combos. My daughter said she loves gravy, turkey, and mashed potatoes. My son said he loves turkey, cornbread, and cranberry sauce. I, personally, prefer leftovers. There's nothing better than a hot turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on a bun! Of course, the holidays are more than cooking up a secret family recipe. They're also about spending...

Hey Reader, Last night, I was almost asleep in my bed when something made me get up and recheck the house. It's not uncommon for me to check and re-check the locks and the lights after everyone is in bed. I'd already closed the house down, though, but I still felt like I needed to check it again. Call it instinct, but once I got downstairs, I smelled something burning. I checked the basement, the oven, and then the dishwasher. I couldn't find anything, but just to be safe, I left the...

Hey Reader, Yesterday, I sent an email sharing how much I was enjoying renting and how I feel so much less stressed. I don't think many of us take the time to consider how much homeownership affects our mental health. This can mean a positive correlation, of course. Home is where the heart is, after all. Your home can be a place of comfort, a respite from the outside world. It can be the place you curl up with a book or play with your kids. It can be the setting for family movie night and the...
