This week we gathered some sweet PCS stories from our followers on their pets and kiddos. We also made an appearance on Foxtrot and Pennies, and published a couple cool articles in the MILLIE Journal. Scroll down to check it out!

We’ve included links (for easy sharing), the copy for the posts (in case you’ve already used up all your creative juices today), the hashtags (for optimal millennial reach) and the MILLIE logos and branding information (in case you want to feature us on your front page or something).

If you’re one of our partners, please send us what’s been happening in your world lately by emailing me at alexis@gomillie.com.
