Well… things are changing around here ❤️ If you'v Well… things are changing around here ❤️ If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I've never been very good at keeping this account just about cakes 😂 If you watch my stories, you've probably heard far more about my life, my girls and my general ramblings than you ever signed up for! And before anyone panics… **Carys Cakes isn't disappearing just yet!** 🧁😂 I'm still here, I'm still making, and you'll definitely still be seeing cookies and chocolate blocks on this page. But I do know that eventually I'll be winding this little business down, a number of reasons I am not going into just yet. But lately I've realised that I don't really want to disappear from here when that happens. Because while the business is changing, life outside of it seems to be changing pretty quickly too. I'm 49, mum to three girls. My eldest has already spent 9 months on the other side of the world and is now getting ready to head off to uni, my middle one is about to turn 18, and somehow we're rapidly approaching the stage where our lives don't revolve quite so much around raising children. Add perimenopause into the mix (because obviously 😂) and it feels like I'm entering a completely new stage of life. And actually, I'm scared and I'm quite excited about it all at the same time 🤣 More time for me. More time for us as a couple. More travel. But also more quiet (maybe). I am sure I will be still needed to answer a message for that 'emergency call' IYKYK.... Figuring out what I actually enjoy doing. Navigating life with almost-grown-up kids. And probably having absolutely no idea what I'm doing half the time. So for now, Carys cakes is staying, I'm just making a little more room for the rest of my life too. ❤️ No grand plan. No sudden reinvention. Just me, figuring out what the next chapter looks like. And hopefully a few of you are at a similar stage and fancy figuring it out with me ❤️ #Midlife #MumOfTeens #MumLife #MidlifeWomen #Perimenopause
