CURATED FOR MODERN MOM LIFE

The good stuff, without the endless scrolling.

Your cheat sheet for surviving millennial mom life.

From purchases actually worth the money, outfits that make you look put together (key word “LOOK”, because, duh, we are unravelling!) to kid-approved dinners, beauty faves that don’t break the bank (but help our aging skin!), trending playlists, Mystery Reader book picks, slang your kids are saying (and we have no clue what it means!), and everything in between!

We scrolled, read the reviews, purchased, and received kid to teen approval—so you don’t have to!

MEET THE PAIR BEHIND THE MUST-HAVES

Carla + Addisyn

Carla and Addisyn together

Hi! We’re Carla & Addisyn... a millennial mom and her Gen Alpha daughter trying to figure out what’s actually cute, useful, and worth buying.

Millennial Mom Must Haves started somewhere between me working a full-time job, raising Addisyn and her two brothers, attempting to keep our home clean and organized, and wondering when exactly the styles changed again!

I’m Carla — mom of three, insurance executive *yawn*, organization enthusiast, bargain hunter, and firm believer that a cute outfit or an organized junk drawer can make you feel like you have your life together… even when you absolutely do not.

Then there’s Addisyn, my built-in style consultant and the person responsible for letting me know when something is cute, when something is actually trending, and perhaps most importantly — when I need to never wear something again! (Although, I usually still do! Shhhh!)

Together, we realized we make a pretty good team. I bring the “Is it practical? Is it worth the money? Will this make my life easier?” perspective, while Addisyn brings the “Mom… no.” perspective every millennial mother occasionally needs.

So we created Millennial Mom Must Haves: a place to share the things we genuinely love — from fashion and beauty to home organization, kids' finds, garden favorites, everyday shortcuts, and the random little things that somehow make life run smoother.

We're not trying to create a picture-perfect life. We're trying to make real life a little prettier, easier, more organized, and a lot more fun — while keeping at least some of our sanity.

Welcome to our little corner of the internet. 💕
