  • The day before work

    HOLY F. It has been a hot minute. Honestly, I have been avoiding posting… once something I am not good at could become SLIGHTLY successful, I bail… so my apologies party people! One of my goals in 2026 is to pursue things that make me TRULY happy… and this is one of them!! So I am going to really give it my best shot! Not looking for fame or praise… just a place to put my shit down…good, bad, and ugly.

    Thanksgiving was good. We spent it with my mom and dad and their side of the family. Always a good time but lots people so (naturally) I was overwhelmed and kind of shut down. SO… minimum social battery there.

    Christmas was good too! My mother in law is from SC and has been staying with us for about 6 days. My daughter LOVES having her here and she truly is such a joy to have around. Not has much as clean freak as me, but then again I am not sure anyone is on my level. Santa was good to my daughter and me. Being the shopper I am, Santa got me multiple gift cards to my favorite stores. GIFT CARDS PEOPLE… they may feel insensitive, but it says hey, I am thinking of you but want you to pick out your gift… GIFT CARDS ARE UNDERRATED AND NOT IMPERSONAL. .

    I am really trying to be better on here. Again, not for fame or fortune, but to let everyone see an unfiltered version of a millennial mom just trying to get by and feel like she has made a difference in the world other than just her 9-5. I am working to get better at things outside of my comfort zone so hold me accountable!! I am REALLY trying. This puts my in a very vulnerable, uncomfortable state, but I am here for it!! It makes me get my thoughts out AND helps me connect with others.

    I love all of you. Good, bad, and ugly… you are ALWAYS worthy of love. Never forget that

    I promise to be back sooner rather than later!!! Cheers to the upcoming new year… may it be our best and most creative year yet!!! Mom and dad are hosting a “denim and diamonds” themed party… check out the instagram for pics! It is sure to be e a good time.

    GOOD NIGHT!

  • More nonsense

    So… the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined!!! Claire did such a good job of capturing the things I love… my daughter, books, and coffee. I’m just a big ole’ basic bitch… and I love it.

    The playdate went SO well. The kids had a blast and so did the parents. It’s so nice to have people in your life who are in the same lift stage as you.

    I’ve lost a total of 30 lbs so far being on Zepbound! I am finally feeling like myself again and have energy to workout and play with my daughter. Working out has helped my mental SO much and I’m so glad I got back into it.

    I got a GORGEOUS Anthropologie dress in the mail the other day and it fits life a damn glove. I am wearing it to one of my bestie’s birthday parties so I will post that when the time comes 😊

    Labor Day weekend was good! We went to Canton, which is likes a big flea market they do the first weekend of the month. It rained on us the entire time, but we still had a ball. We also took my daughter roller skating for the first time and she killed it. I’m so proud!

    Just a lil update for ya. Love you, mean it.

  • Friday night post

    It almost autocorrected post to toots and I just thought you should know that.

    Happy Friday night! I hope your drink is strong and if you’re sober, rock ON. We have a big ass play date tomorrow with like 5 of my daughter’s friends and I’m hosting… which I LOVE. I decorate for every holiday and love celebrating the little things. If you’re local to Dallas, TX, hit me up! I’d love to decorate for your party/occasion. I’ve got a lot of stock and am a perfectionist… you can’t lose!

    ANYWAYS…. play date should be fun. I’m taking pics for the blog tomorrow and am beyond nervous. I just don’t like pics… I hate the posing and all that. My photographer is beyond encouraging, so that’s helpful. It’s not like this is going to become anything so I shouldn’t feel any pressure… yet I do. I want them to be perfect. To perfectly reflect me. And perfection is hard…so either way, I’m screwed.

    I am passionate about so many things and love that I get to share them with you. Life is too short to not do what you love. Thank you for being my outlet/giving me purpose. This is fun 😊

    Enjoy your evening! I’ll be in bed soon, getting that beauty rest for tomorrow! Pics to come!

  • Bosses, Pics, and Tattoos

    Hello party people, and welcome back! I am shocked that this is something I have actually kept up with! I know you are just DYING for a life update and what’s on my mind today, so here ya go…

    My daughter started kindergarten and is THRIVING. I have never been so proud of her, and her teacher said she is a joy to have in class… a joy… MY kid!! That is a major win in my book. She also started cheerleading last week… I secretly hope she hates it because I know how expensive it is… but I will support her either way.

    I want to take a whole paragraph to try to convey how amazing my boss is. I truly don’t think there is a better boss out there. She is kind, understanding, and just overall has an amazing heart. She also handles my anxiety so well… in the sense that when she says she has something she wants to discuss but can’t discuss it right away, she will tell me “No, you’re not getting fired and no you aren’t in trouble.” Like does it get better than that?! Work has been a struggle lately, but knowing she is in the trenches with me makes me feel that much better.

    I am taking pictures for this blog this weekend and oh MAN I am nervous. I am so scared of trying new things, and getting outside of my comfort zone is something I hardly ever do… so be kind. Also, shameless plug, I made and Instagram too, so go follow it! The handle is the same name, Confidently Confused Millennial. For some reason, I am scared to have my friends follow my blog/Instagram? But I am okay with strangers following it?? I am weird, man. One of my good friends is taking the pics this weekend… go give her a follow on Instagram! Her company’s handle is Chcollectivephoto.

    We hung out with my husband’s best friend and his wife this past weekend, and she is the one who encouraged me to make the Instagram. I just love clothes, shopping, and putting outfits together and she told me I had nothing to lose…so after some convincing (and a good amount of wine) I did it. Again, I am WAY outside my comfort zone here… but in a weird way, it feels good! 

    BIG tattoo girl here… I have one big one and a few small ones. I am getting another one in a few weeks and I am beyond excited. I will post it here once I get it and it heals!! It will be a tiger in red ink… so badass.

    I am searching for more purpose in my life besides being a mom, wife, and employee. I am hoping that sharing my thoughts/passions with you all will help give me that. Life is too short to not do things you love, so here I am. 

    Laundry calls… comment your favorite clothing store you shop at! There is a high probability I will check it out and probably buy something… but don’t tell my husband! 😊

    Talk soon!

  • WELCOME… AND SHIT

    Hello Party People! Brianna Butler here and ready to share my passions with you! A little about me… I am a mother of 1 daughter and a wife to 1 husband 😊 We live in the okay state of TX where the politicians suck and the weather also sucks. BUT I digress… I was born here and here I reside. My daughter is going into Kindergarten and I am unwell. She is ready but mama is not. 

    My husband is in the cyber security business. He tells me about his day and it goes RIGHT over my head… but it is important to him and the benefits are INCREDIBLE so I am cool with it. 

    I work in personal insurance… think auto, home, life etc. I love to help people so it fulfills that itch…in a way.

    I love clothes, fashion, and all things shopping… in addition to my therapist 😊 It is an outlet for me where I can express myself without words… because let’s be honest, words are hard. 

    At the end of the day, this is a safe space for me to express my fashion choices and tell you what is going on in my world. If you don’t care… bye. If you do, welcome!! I am SO happy to have you. 

    I am a 33 year-old, size 14-16 girlie. I am on Zepbound trying to feel better about myself… and it is working,.. If you are on a GLP-1, you are in a SAFE space. All people are welcome here. I love and accept all shapes and sizes…. You are PERFECT just the way you are. 

     I am here to share in the suck and the joys of life with you! Life is hard, get a helmet… just kidding, the ADHD took over! Also expect random movie/tv show quotes… if you can finish it, put it in the comments!!

    As I type this, my child is seeking validation on her playdoh house and husband is asking if I want a liquor shot…gotta goooooo. 

    I look forward to many days and nights together… see you soon!
