How Far We've Come - Reflections from a Mylk Maid
| Last weekend was our biggest sales weekend to date and I am filled with immense gratitude. As we approach wrapping up our 6th full year in business next month, I find myself reflecting on how far we have come.

We plan to have those again this weekend as well as a number of valentine themed healthy treats at the shop. You won't want to miss this special event day at aMYLK!
