Some of you may have seen this post coming for a while now… I have decided to stop blogging. The past year and a half has been truly wonderful. This blog has opened my eyes to a whole new world filled with new people and experiences, and for that I will always be grateful. There are multiple reasons that went into making this decision and I won’t go into all of them, but mainly it is because baking was not fun anymore. Baking became so much more than just baking; photographing the food, editing those photos, typing up both the recipe and the post, sharing the post all over the web to increase traffic. It became a very time consuming process that I just couldn’t keep up with anymore. I tried just taking a break and not posting as often, and doing that allowed me to realize that I am more than just a girl who likes to bake. I have many other hobbies and passions that I was putting aside to make sure I was focusing all of my efforts on the blog.
Since making this decision last month, I have really enjoyed baking less (but still baking, and enjoying it more) and focusing on all of the other aspects of my life.
I want you all to know that this was a very difficult decision that I struggled with for months. Every time I would think about quitting I would receive I sweet email or comment that would bring me right back in. Your kindness and support have been wonderful! I encourage you to follow me on Pinterest, since that is where I have been getting much of my baking inspiration lately.
I wish you all nothing but joy and good health, and of course, happy baking!
Aimee
Thanks for the great blog, Aimee! I always admired your pictures and thought about how much time it must take you to do all of that! I hope this stays up at least for awhile so I can grab a few more of those recipes, but many of them have served me well, along with friends I’ve shared your blog with. Pinterest will probably become my new timewaster – I’m afraid to start because i’ve heard how addictive it is.
Happy future baking, this was really well done!
Best of Luck with your future projects! I’m in the same boat as well! It’s fun but not something I want to give my entire life too!
Aw sad to see you go but good luck with all your future (unphotographed
) baking.
So sad to see you go…loved the recipes. Will the site be up for a while so I can be sure I have all the recipes I want printed out?
Best wishes Aimee!
