Me in a nutshell

I have had several blogs over the years and have never managed to stick to them. I tended to have a different blog for each area of my life.  I'm not sure why.  Even on Instagram I have four different accounts; one for general instagramming - family, my home, and my love of Emma Bridgewater and Cath Kidston.  One for all things Disney (my biggest passion), another account for my Slimming World journey and another for my business.  Although part of me likes separating them, it's hard work keeping up with so many accounts, so I decided to create a blog for everything.  My whole little life in a nutshell. Aimie's Daydreams.

So here's a little insight into my daydreams.  My name is Aimie; tea drinker, biscuit dunker, Disney planner, wife, mother, girl boss, and Imagineer.  I live in Northamptonshire, UK with my husband of seven years, and our children, Oliver, 16 and Amelia, 6. We live in a three bedroom Edwardian terraced house with our dog, Jacob and our cat, Luna.  We have lived in our house for just under a year, and it really is my dream home. It has a big garden which is great as I love gardening, and between my Dad (who is a painter and decorator) and I, we have decorated it just how I envisioned in my head. I'm very lucky that my husband is easy going and doesn't care for interior design and therefore doesn't mind how I decorated it, so I went full on with the floral wallpapers, bedding and cushions! He has had a few digs about the lack of 'manly' mugs to drink his coffee from in the mornings, and doesn't appreciate my Cath Kidston ones but other than that, he's happy! And I have bought him some more manly mugs to compensate!

One of the pieces of furniture I bought before we moved was my welsh dresser which was a fab eBay find. My Dad painted it for me and I have had fun over the past year filling it with beautiful Emma Bridgewater pottery.  My favourite pattern is Rose and Bee.

 In 2012 I started up my own business, Little Sugar Plums, where I design and make CE certified designer dolls, children's clothing, accessories and pretty things.I am so grateful that it has become so successful. It certainly keeps me very busy and helps me provide for my family.

My biggest passion is Disney.  I love nothing better than planning a Disney holiday.  From choosing where we are going to eat, the rides we will go on and what we will do each day and then writing travel reports on our return. We recently booked our fourth trip to Disney World and will be jetting off in October next year.This upcoming trip will be our second time staying onsite. We stayed at Old Key West on our last trip in 2014, and this time we will be staying at my dream resort; Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I am very excited!  We are keeping it a secret from our two children and plan on telling them the day we leave for the airport. Stay tuned for lots of updates on our 2017 trip!
