Baking With Aimee.

A new post?! What is this?! I do apologise. 7 months out isn't my finest hour!! But its been a rather eventful year so far, and this blog has taken a definite back seat. I've also suffered with a lot of writers block, which has mainly stemmed from my indecision on where this blog is going. After months of consideration I've decided to start...

Berlin | Part Two.

Part Two of mine and Katie's sister trip to Berlin began with the Berlin Wall Memorial. It was a fascinating spot and really showed the true horror that the wall created in Berlin.

5 Goals, 5 Years.

In 5 years time, I'll be 28. Thats a scary number! When I was a little girl and I used to plan out my ideal life; by the age of 28 I was married with kids on the way. Its laughable how "old" I thought 28 was. Now, I'm pushing the idea of settling down with kids to my mid-30's! But, little Aimee did have one thing right - by the time I turn I turn...
