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!

So long September
I don’t know what it was about September but she was the Regina George in my life and I am happy to say I have come out the other side alive but not unharmed. There was a trip to urgent care, a series of migraines and hours of vomiting, a broken toe, strained neck muscles,…

Thoughts from the Pick Up Line
It has now officially been a fully week that my son has been in Kindergarten, a week of drop-offs and pick-ups, and during the whole experience I’ve been observing, noticing, and cataloging my thoughts on the dynamics of people in those conditions. Here are some of my thoughts, and please note they are evolving so…
