Welcome to Millennial Houseplant!
Hi, I’m Crystal! I am an artist – consider myself to be a creative person (not just because my imposter syndrome would never tolerate calling myself an artist) as I love to write, paint, graphic design, and craft. I’m a middle-aged mom (according to at least one person on the internet) and if you couldn’t tell already by the title of this site or the overuse of parentheticals, I am a millennial. I made my first website in 1998 and haven’t really stopped since. When I’m not working a customary 40 hours to support my livelihood I am writing and publishing romance and romantasy on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited and using my social media to bring awareness to the social and political causes I care most deeply about. If you like what you see or read here then I thank you for your time!

Here are some of my thoughts, and please note they are evolving so…

Adventures in Kindergarten
Well it’s official, my baby has started Kindergarten, and I have officially experienced my first drop-off/pick-up loop. For years I have learned how to successfully avoid school zone areas because of the traffic, and now I am that traffic. For the first day we left the house almost 30 minutes before the start of class…
