Jamie Mikol
Jamie resides in Farragut, TN with her husband, 3 kids and 1 dog. When she is not doing SAHM things you can find her watching Netflix, enjoying time with friends, reading a good book, writing for various endeavors, and managing her small business at Milestone Montage. Her favorite smell is marshmallows from the outside of the bag and her least favorite feeling is walking barefoot on all the crumbs on her floor.
