✨ Meet the maker 👋🏼 It’s been awhile since I did a proper intro, so… Hey! I’m Ashley, the one behind the keepsakes, the emails, the socials, and everything Spilt Milk. 🩷
I started The Spilt Milk Co. almost 8 years ago, with two little toddlers and pregnant with my third girl. My biz journey started with crafting during nap times & nights, while taking a few pics for the gram, sharing snippets of mum life alongside keepsakes as my business, audience, and babies all grew up together in my home town, Taranaki. 🥹
I’ll never forget breastfeeding my newborn on the couch while watching YouTube videos on “how to build a website from scratch” and creating everything myself *very slowly* in amongst motherhood.
⏩ Fast forward to 2026, I’ve now got 3 big school girls, get to craft during daylight hours (hallelujah 🙌🏼☀️), and have a dedicated studio in Papamoa where you can visit me to try on keepsakes and share your stories. ✨ I’ve always loved hearing what each keepsake represents, and being able to interpret stories into different colours, styles and designs. 😍
A massive shoutout & huge thank you to those of you who have followed along on with my journey, whether you’ve been here a long time or are fresh to The Spilt Milk Co. your support really does mean so much! 🥰🥹
All my love, always.
