Across the country the weather is heating up and so is MILLIE! We’re busy working with Elmspring as part of their 2017 cohort, we’re doing Facebook Live events and we’re sharing hilarious content with our audience.

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.

Post Copy: “When unique situations arise in this military family life, we make a choice. We can either go along for the ride, or let the craziness get you down. I try to take each situation as a challenge, discover how I can benefit myself, my family, or others in my military spouse community, and tackle it!” — Britni Miltner
