The Truth On My Move | Why this Baker Moved from a HUGE Baking Space into a Small One | Baking Vlog

Welcome to a fairly vulnerable baking vlog to update you on where I've been and what I've been up to. There's been a lot of mixed emotions with this move in general, but I know it was the right decision! I hope you enjoy the video.

I took some much needed time off to recharge and rejuvenate my baking creativity. I was feeling burnt out from not having gone on a 'real' vacation in a long time where I didn't have to think about video uploads or content. I was also SO exhausted from moving and trying to make our new home livable, but I'm feeling much more well rested and ready to create new content that excites me. Thank you so much for all of your support that you have given me on my secondary channel when I originally announced my move. It really did give me the emotional strength I needed to say goodbye.

Aww... you sound like a really sweet person who took the leap to take care of herself for once, and I'm so proud of you! Take all the time you need to recover, and thank you for sharing with us.

[@drogersmt1]

I am so very happy for you. Having the ability to live your life on your own terms is the ultimate sign of growth and for some, never happens. You deserve all the happiness and freedom in the world, and you are showing your children that having autonomy over your own life is far greater than any material possession.

[@TheFancyCakery]

I rather live in a tent than under those feelings. You will miss the space, but you will have that weight off your shoulder and you will feel so free! Im sure they didn't even know how bad they made you feel....but it was theirs...and when you own something, its hard to not want to keep control over it. 5 minutes from work is an absolute dream!!! Enjoy your new space!!!

[@kaymill5565]

What a journey. Glad you and your husband made a decision that gives you peace.

[@HappyBakess]

We can’t wait to see what you cook up for us in your new home!!🥹💕So proud of you Ashley🫶🏽

[@charlieoscar2339]

I understand what you’re saying more than most people. I’m happy for you. Best of luck in the future. You definitely deserve it.

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Thank you so much!

[@alisue4426]

Wow!! Yeah you totally made the right decision. Freedom and independence is better than space and material stuff. You'll be so much happier in the long run! Gonna feel great!! 😊

[@ChefDenise18]

Thank you for sharing and transparency. You always have to do what’s best for you and your family. Your story will help someone else get the courage to make the same decision. 💛🌻

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I really hope so! Thank you for your support :)

[@MaryFranklin-uw2kb]

I have a couple of those family members who can never really let you have something! I totally get needing your own space. Best of luck, looking forward to seeing more baking! 😊

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Thank you for your support :)

[@ashleybrude2846]

May God bless you and your family in your new home! Like you said, the gift of time is worth so much! And so is your peace of mind. Happy you got a vacation too! 10 years - woohoo 🥳

[@mlo8081]

I feel so bad when I see content creators being 'on' 24/7-- that's so stressful! I'm so glad you took the much deserved time away for yourself. New house looks very cute. The new space may take some getting used to, but having your freedom is priceless. Congratulations!!

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Thank you so much!!

[@tammybozza4703]

That five minute commute will be a game changer! So glad to know you took time to celebrate your tenth and that you are feeling so good about the move! Congrats!

[@jeanniemarie2873]

Am so very sorry to hear you had to go through that. Also, fully expect that your freedom and peace of mind will far outweigh the rest. Best wishes to you and your family in your beautiful new home❤

[@judyfarmer2962]

Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see your baking.

[@monicaglenn7878]

Aww honey, im so happy your broke out of those chains! Sometimes our own sainity, is worth the change. Youre free, you're free to do in your own home, whatever you want. Sometimes we are yold something is ours, and we're even paying for it, but in reality it isnt. Its just to try and control us! Im glad you don have to question what you want to do, in your own home no more!!

[@soapylulu]

This sounds like such a good move for you. I'm so happy for you.

[@cherylsuds7882]

Sorry to hear that !! You did the right thing, for you and your family !! 🇨🇦💕👍

[@Lyn4Him]

I'm so happy for you and your new home! I know it will be wonderful. 💖

[@lychee_tea_time]

I had the exact same experience and was guilted into staying. Buying a home was the best decision ever!

[@ChrisBrown-gf4of]

Congratulations 😊

[@buddyholly4672]

Everyone deserves a vacation and time off! It's difficult living under your parents thumb. I totally understand it. I had to leave my parents house because of their rules. Now our relationship is better than ever.

[@karenbalkaranali4739]

Your new home is beautiful🥀🥂

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Thank you! 🤗

[@payneeavis7366]

Can you do a video on how you make a video, programs you use, how much film footage you need, etc….thank you. Best wishes from Newfoundland

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Sure!

[@kimgaddatmakeitsweetyeg5820]

I’m soooo proud of you 💕

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

Sorry that your family made things so conditional and really, stressful for you. All your reasons for moving make total sense. I hope you can now breathe a huge sigh of relief knowing that this is truly YOUR place and you can do what you want and live the way you and your family want to. I feel like I would go into my new place and dirty it up just because😂 Kidding....sorta😂

[@easycookingplus]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@soapylulu]

Could you suggest an oven that bakes well? I'm having a hard time finding one.

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I really like the KitchenAid brand for baking; I personally like an electric oven best despite the fact that I hear gas is superior. Most ovens will do the trick-it’s all about testing out your recipes over and over until you get the proper consistent bake that you desire. Hope that helps 🥰

[@soapylulu]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Thank you so much!!!

[@FRT2]

congrants on your freedom , is pricey but worth it

[@cindyglass5827]

''nothing TASTES as Good as, FREEDOM'' !!! : )

[@dcoleman4990]
