Welcome to The Handmade Home,
by Jamin and Ashley Mills!
One day we’re young and carefree, falling in love in college. The next, we woke up with three kids, two rescue pups and a money pit of our own. Here in our little corner of the www, is where you’ll find our adventures in running our family business and working together.
