What is it really like to be married to a blogger?
I thought that after marriage I would settle down to the quiet life. Toast & tea in bed, The Good Wife episodes in the evening, adding my wife to my car insurance and occasionally picking up nail polish remover after work. Life was peaceful and I was content. All was going well until….
*cue dramatic music*
SHE STARTED A BLOG.
You’ve done a perfunctory scroll through this post, expecting to see funny gifs and found none so your suspicions were aroused. Now you’re absolutely sure that this blog has been hijacked. Well I’m here to calm your fears- Panda is still in charge.
Most of you know me as Fox, Panda’s behind-the-scenes husband.
I’ve been complaining mentioning recently about what it’s like to be married to a blogger so Panda asked me to jot it down and turn it into a post. At first I was nervous. If you know my wife, you know that she uses words like “impeccable” and “preposterous” as part of her daily vocabulary. But she said she wouldn’t have asked me if she didn’t think I was up to it and after a while I got into the swing of things. Admittedly, this post might lack the sass and fire of my wife but if she is the spicy curry in life then I’m definitely a soothing mango lassi.
So if your significant other is thinking about starting a blog, get out while you still can! Just kidding… I think?
It takes a certain kind of person to hang out with a blogger. And it takes a crazy person to go out to eat with a blogger. But ultimately, you must be a complete lunatic to be married to a blogger! Why, you may ask? What is so crazy about bloggers? Well read on…
Here are some of the things you can expect when you’re married to a blogger:
1. You will be expected to be an expert on everything.
From basic survival strategies to advanced photography to an instant ability to drive any vehicle in any country. Being married to a blogger means that you are constantly venturing out of any conceivable comfort zone. Like when I landed in Kuwait and Panda hands me car keys and says, “Can you drive?” Uh… in a country I have never been to and on a side of the road I am unfamiliar with? Oh boy. What about when I had to suddenly become a photography expert when we were at the Beijing Olympic Stadium and a certain Panda expressed a desire for very particular shot involving silhouettes and a brightly lit stadium? Suddenly I had to assemble a DSLR, get the tripod out, adjust its height, fasten the camera, fiddle with the shutter and aperture speeds… Just to emphasise, I am an architect by profession. Everything I know about photography I have learnt through trial and error (and Panda’s annoyance when we don’t achieve the picture she wants).
As daunting as it may sound, this does give an adventurous soul, plenty of opportunity to find joy in the challenges and experiences that your partner gets you involved in. However for someone less enthusiastic about hiking for kilometres to get the perfect sunset shot, or braving the streets of India on a motorcycle while dodging cows, this life can be a completely overwhelming experience.
2. A trip somewhere does not equal a holiday.
I’m laughing a little at this one because I used to be a fool who thought this way. I thought holiday=relaxing. Nope, not when your wife is a blogger. Extensive research goes into planning what activities will get done. Yes there are ALWAYS activities when your wife is a thrill junkie and a blogger. Let’s look at this picture of Panda zip lining through Mehrangah Fort in Jodhpur at sunset. Did you know that you could zip line through a fort in India? Even people living in Jodhpur that we spoke to had no idea. But somehow, my never-been-to-India-before wife found out and booked it. And you can’t imagine on what precipice I was standing on, my life in my hands just to take this perfect photo!
Trips are usually meticulously planned. Activities, adventures and dining experiences are methodically categorized by order of priority and most importantly, how it will be portrayed in the blog.
On one hand, it’s like having your own personal travel agent. You will be guaranteed to see the best sights at the perfect times, find and make the cheapest deals and eat the most sumptuous food on offer.
However this level of organisation and planning leaves little room for spontaneity, and also means that you inadvertently become the outlet when things don’t go as planned. Be prepared for that!
3. Everything takes twice as long.
You know those stunning shots you like on the Expat Panda instagram account? They aren’t happy snaps. It takes time to set up a shot- perhaps we need to wait for people to move out of the picture or for the light to hit the subject just right. More often I need to adjust my position or get Panda into some unnatural pose to take the picture she wants.
My wife is exceptionally beautiful. Maybe all husbands think this way but I’m being purely objective. Some earrings, a bit of lipstick and she is ready to head out the door. I’m never hanging around waiting for her to get ready (in fact it’s usually the other way around but that’s for another post). But, for all the time we save with her not painting her face in make up or styling her hair, we make up for it in photo taking!
Like the example above. Since everything is blog related, it HAD to be perfect. This was a simple post brekkie photo which turned into an impromptu photo shoot including props, extras and the occasional wardrobe change to get that one perfect shot!
Look, I am a simple guy- I always aspired to be one of those couples I would see in the magazines, relaxing poolside. Now I realise just how much effort goes into creating those pictures!
Like this photo above which was taken in Thailand at sunset. It looks effortless but it involves a tripod, using a timer, running in between takes and adjusting position a million times! You can’t imagine how long all of this takes. I know lots of men complain about being an Instagram Husband but there is a silver lining too- when your blogging wife is a photo perfectionist, you get also get wonderful photos of yourself…
4. The blog becomes your pet/child.
Posts are planned months in advance, activities are coordinated to keep the flow going, stats are monitored with an alarming level of attention… the blogging wife nurtures and cares for her blog the way a new mother would for her child. All conversations eventually lead to speaking of the blog, all activities are centred around how it can be expressed in the blog. Eventually the blogger doesn’t run the blog, but in fact, the blog dictates the next step.
It sounds all consuming but it’s kind of like our pet project- the child we don’t yet have. We always have something to discuss and as resident proof-checker, it keeps me on my toes. When Panda and I lived together, there was never a dull moment and our activities were literally logged down on a Where’s Wally wall calendar. I remember when we went through a milkshake tasting stage all in the name of this particular post. I wanted to give up dairy for a long time after that.
With Panda and I living apart, the blog allows me to engage with her life in a way that isn’t possible through mere texts and video calls. Although, I will say that as her husband, I enjoy hearing the behind the scenes stories and reading how they’re portrayed on the blog!
5. Blog envy is real
It doesn’t take long to realise that as the partner of a blogger, everything comes after the blog, from future plans, to friends and family, and especially yourself. At first, you may find yourself actually feeling jealous toward this thing that has taken over your partner’s life; however you have to learn to share your partner with this entity that is her blog. She needs her space, her independence, her room to grow and evolve with the blog. Ideally, you make yourself part of this evolution and make the blog part of your life too.
When your wife has a passion that makes her happy, you will be happy too. Being married to a blogger, especially a free spirited-wanderlust-chasing-travel blogger, means that you’re married to someone who is a home and an adventure all at once. The best advice I can give to anyone who is married to a blogger or even better, soon to be married to one is to always remember-
Happy wife= happy life!
In conclusion,
Don’t ask her to be a rock
for you to lean upon
Instead build her wings
And point her to the sky,
And she will teach you both how to fly
I will ask my husband to read this!
I hope he enjoyed the read!
He was relieved to find out that he was not alone! He had a good read thank you.
Happy Sunday dearie
Such a sweet and endearing post. What a great connection you two have!
Ah thank you so much for your kind words 😊
What a great post! I actually sent a link of this to my husband! 🤗
Wonderfully written,i really enjoyed reading this one.
Thanks I will pass the message on 😊 Hope your hubby enjoyed the read!
Yes it was😀😀
I love this post….what a great viewpoint 🙂
Ah thank you for your feedback!
It sure was
Aren’t we blessed to have husbands who understand our passion? Such a sweet gesture by Fox to write a post about his view point. He should be given due credit for the patience and beautiful photographs.
I’m similarly passionate about cross stitching. When we went to Scotland, I identified a store where I can buy some stuff which was on a city on the way from Edinburgh to Stirling. We took the train to Linlithglow (where the store was) , dragged our luggage to the store, shopped for 15 mins and then took the next train to Stirling. All this to just experience what it feels like to be in a real cross stitch store. When we told our cousins whom we were visiting in Stirling, the look on their face told us they couldn’t understand why take the hassle…
Yes we are absolutely blessed with these men! Your husband is seriously a saint! I admire your dedication to your hobby 😊
I sure agree with you👏👏
I very much enjoyed reading this! Loved all the photos, and the way everything is being narrated. Subscribed immediately! Just one question – where is this picture taken, when both of you are standing on the top of the sea? x
Ah thank you so much! That particular picture was taken in Cape Town after hiking up the Lion’s Head mountain. If you haven’t been to South Africa, you need to plan a trip!
Thank you so much for your reply. The most interesting thing is that I dreamed about this place last summer and have been in search for it ever since! Can you imagine!
My wife can so relate to this…thanks for this article. I’m gonna give her the link and command her to read it. 🙂
Haha thanks for the read!
As a newbie to blogging, I love this post. Great work!
Thank you so much for reading!
Am driving my husband nuts with the shops I just need to have a look at, the picture I have to take or the place I really need to check out, like now, now – not tomorrow 🙂 liked your post a lot!
Such a lovely post! I am going to make The Boy read it so he knows how easy he has it! Also, I wish we could post photos in the comments to show you the very different ways we tackled Oribi Gorge!!!!!
Haha Oribi Gorge was an experience for everyone who went there! You mean The Boy has it easy? I won’t tell my husband haha!
The Boy has it super easy! But mine is a rambling blog, not a professional one! I don’t have the patience for everything I’ve just read 😂
LOL… Good post, I will check if my husband feels this way.. haha!… Btw, we did enjoy ziplining at Jodhpur fort.. It was the best way to see the fort! ;)…
Ah I’m so happy someone else did it too! Yes it was the best way to see Jodhpur from above. Do let me know if your hubby agrees with mine 😂
I really appreciate this post. I’ve been looking everywhere for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You have made my day! Thank you again
I loved reading this! My husband feels exactly the same way. I cried with laughter at #2. Although, I have to admit it’s not necessarily ‘blog related’. I don’t really have the blog in the forefront of my mind but I do suffer from serious FoMo. And so I go through the same meticulous planning of trips. I’m also not too bad with the photos but I do often ask hubby to get out the way lol. A very funny post!
I don’t have the blog at the forefront of any experience either but hubby begs to differ! It’s just about not having any regrets when you leave a place! I do love my photos to be perfect so I’ll give him that one 😂 Glad you enjoyed!
Totally here you on the no regrets. Hence the FoMo (fear of missing out!).
Great post. Will try to get my wife to read this, but suspect she might think it’s me tricking her to read another of my posts. Life is intense as a blogger and my partner is a great support. She’s there when I’m getting confused about my audience, when I want to change my design, but most of all she gives me so much material to write about; she’s a funny lass. Glad I bumped into your blog, Thanks.
Your comment was hilarious! I think bloggers have the most patient partners, either that or they are just super tolerant. Thanks for stopping by and glad you enjoyed the post.
Thanks for your lovely words. You are the third person to say that I’m hilarious since I was 23 years old (yes I’ve been keeping count). Seriously though, great blog. Will be stopping by again don’t you worry!
I’m definitely making my husband read this! The biggest change he has seen in me since I started blogging is I no longer ask the server ‘What would you recommend’ when we go out to eat … Instead I now ask ‘What is instagram worthy on the menu?’ 🙈😁 … Great pics btw! 🙂
Definitely love this!
Such an adorable reading!! I loved it!
Very nice … indeed !
plz go through my post too

https://wordpress.com/post/kayceecomblog.wordpress.com
I have followed your blog..
I’m going cross country in two weeks for a total of 6 months. Here’s my blog if ya want to check IT out too crosscountrylifeblog.com
I did that… I have commented on 1 of your posts too
Hello
Pls am a beginner Pls teach me more about blogging or how to become a blogger. Thank you
Bro just read other people post and write yours. Don’t be ashamed of how u blog at first; people might not like it at first, Don’t give up, and soon u will make a good blogger
Thanks alot
Do you mind if I teach? I’m not the blog owner but I do think there’s a few good tips that I have. Don’t read the rest of this if you don’t want my help (I will not be offended AT ALL)
1- try to post somewhat consistently and tell your bloggers when you’ll post and what day of week if it’s not every day or every other day
2-share your blog with some of your friends, don’t be shy… they willl consistently support you and destroy the negative comments with their support
3- catch the readers eye with your homepage, and try to add pictures to your more cool posts… they always tend to catch more eyes of the viewers
You can always contact me in the comments section of one of my posts at crosscountrylifeblog.com if you would like to know a little more, but once again I will NOT be offended! 😁👍🏻
This comment helps me thank you 😊 I’m a new blogger myself
No problem. Thank you for taking the time to read it!
No problem
Hope to hear from you soon
It’s really an interesting post and good to know how it goes after marrying a blogger.
Stay blessed.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Reblogged this on Compartment 11.
Love love love this Panda! I’m not married and I just started blogging, but I’ll make sure to share this with my future hubby (for him to know what he’s getting himself into). Haha! I seriously adore this post! You are really lucky, and so is your hubby. You compliment each other wonderfully in the pictures (I love the wedding picture)! I hope you have an even more wonderful wedded (and blogging) life! ❤️
AH your comment made me smile so much! Yes we do complement each other despite the craziness!Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
This is awesome
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Interesting reading and as a blogger I can totally related to all of this, and When a blogger meets the other blogger, it is like meeting a soul mate, and their marriage is never boring.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Aww…So sweet! An interesting piece. Your wife is lucky to ‘ve such a supportive husband. Those pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing- author.
Yes I am so lucky to have such a supportive husband 🙂 Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
I love this!!!! The line “… this level of organisation and planning leaves little room for spontaneity, and also means that you inadvertently become the outlet when things don’t go as planned” had me smiling as my husband has told me this countless times. I think I should ask him what his thoughts are about me blogging since he stalks my blog. 🙂 This post made my day!
Yes that line is a very honest one because its true that we lash out on our loved ones even when things are not their fault! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Hi, I’m amulya, and I absolutely LOVE the idea of all the travelling and food tasting you guys do on a regular basis! Sometimes, I wish medicine wasn’t such a long course! Is there any two day adventure though? That’s the max I mostly get.
It’s wonderful to see so many places and things captured and compiled into one blog! Makes it easy for me to keep up 😁cheers!
Hey girl, we all went through those long years of studying and writing exams… you have to go through the hard stuff to get to the exciting travel and food inspired bits! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Whether it was intended to inspire, I don’t know but I feel very fuelled because of what you said! I’m working towards being able to do all that! May I ask what you studied?
Four long years of psychology, two years for my teaching qualification followed by two years of full time work while studying for my Masters in Educational Psychology. I FEEL YOU don’t worry!!
Hahaha I LOVE PSYCHOLOGY!!! Within my field, I absolutely enjoy the postings I get for psychiatry! I know they’re different but both involve so much talking I absolutely love it!
Thanks for the motivation ma’am!
This article is so true and so funny! I actually realize ever since I started blogging, the blog is become my baby. I always take my partner along with me in this big adventure.. loved the post sharing it with blogger friends I know! 😘😘😘
I am so glad you can relate! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Close call
I went to the bar to watch the champions league finals. The bar was a long wide hall, with a very long wooden seat arranged in straight lines. The long wooden seat was what we used in the law faculty block. I had come earlier, and just very few people were there, so I left.
By the time I returned, the bar was crowded. I paid the owner of the bar 100 Naria, before he let me in. The room smelt like boiled dirty gym socks. I prayed in my heart that nobody will fart, because that be horrible, as it will combine with the smell that came from the cluster of so many people.
The match took forever before it started officially. A musician, by name Alicia keys performed live. There were so many other performances, but I wasn’t listening. Like others, I couldn’t wait for the match to start.
Soon it started. I saw my course mate, John come in. John is a football freak. He’d show me once a small piece of work which he wrote about Real Madrid vs Barcelona match. He’d tell me that he was planning to send it to sporting gang (They commented on radio about football matches, after being played.) Sometimes I wondered why he studied law, but he’s a brainiac.
John came and sat near me. I fixed my eyes on the champions league finals match. It was between Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid. I couldn’t view the T.v. well because of people were standing, and some others who had climbing the long wooden seats. John didn’t seem to mind, he was pressing his phone. Loud cheer filled the bar.
Soon Real Madrid scored, and a loud cheer rang out. My ears wanted to pull out by reason of the noise.
Later, Athletico Madrid equalized. The loud cheer rose again, perhaps from Monacho supporters. I knew Barcelona fans will for the first time support Real Madrid, as Athletico removed them from the champions league match.
I knew that Athletico Madrid equalized back, but I still asked the man sitting at my left hand what the score were, and he told me. As I and the guy were talking, I began to imagine myself pocket picking the guy. Soon the man frowned his face, and told me to shift away from him. I looked downward, and I saw my hands on the hollows of his right pocket. My hands were stationary.

The match had gone half time earlier before the incident happened and my friend, John had gone out to check on something. He’d kind of stay out long.
I froze for some seconds, before I removed my hands. I began to beg him, but my plea fell on deaf ears. The guy was telling another guy at his back about what just happened. You needed to see the way I was looking at that moment; I looked like a chicken who had just been soaked in very, hot water. The man kept talking angrily, I couldn’t get what he was saying because I was too scared of what might happen; will I be burnt with tyre ?? will I be put in the school sanco ( prison) ??what was John going to think of me on hearing the incident??
Soon the person he was talking to, calmed him down, telling him that I didn’t mean to steal from him. I kept on starring at the guy on my left. The guy finally calmed down, and few seconds later, John walked in and sat down. I couldn’t help but to let out a sigh of relief.
Happy Sunday
Lol
Lovedd it 😍😋Was interesting 😊
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
this is so funny! brilliant insight ahah
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
http://tootruetobewritten.wordpress.com/ is it good
Ha ha ! Ask my grandkids what it’s like to be the grandchild of a blogger! And of course my husband resents my blog as do my children
Ask your grandkids and note down their responses for a new post!
Good idea! Only they are still toddlers !
Beautiful post! Such an interesting insight! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂

Check it out once please☺
Your wife is lucky to have a very supportive husband. Thanks for the post. I appreciate my husband’s support even more. I will thank him and make him read this post.
I am absolutely lucky to have such an amazing husband who supports my passions wholeheartedly! Do let me know what your husband says!
Beautiful post ⭐️ thank you for sharing🌷
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Thanks for putting some reality (and humour) into this. When you wrote that a trip somewhere does not equal a holiday, I understood it. I understood it, but could not really empathize….because I haven’t reached that level of passion yet. Maybe someday…
Thanks for this post.
For now just enjoy relaxing on your holidays… Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Hilarious cute and was smiling throughout the post ! Love it 😄
I am so glad to hear that! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
What a piece… For the lovers….
I seldom venture more than 10 miles from home base, and I’m happy day to day. Then I read this and think of all there is out there to do and see. Enjoy it!
Try exploring and see what the outcome its! You never know what could happen! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Beautiful photos! Sounds like a wonderful adventure for you both inspite of the “challenges”. Enjoy! 😊
As much as both complain, we love it all! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
I suppose I have a lot to look forward to and have barely scratched the surface yet!! This will be one post I am definitely sharing with my significant other..
It is great to have something to look forward to! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
I enjoyed your take on this adventure. As a new blogger my husband has kept a safe distance and just makes sure I’m not interrupted when I am writing.
I leave for work before him so often he sees my illustrations out on the desk and it’s the first thing he asks about when I get home… what was this one about.
I long for the day this becomes something. More than I’m just starting out, something I spend a few hours on as I rush back to the job
These pictures are breathtaking!
As your passion grows, so too will you blog. Then your husband won’t be able to pry you away! Keep up the great work. Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Love this
Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
Wow…am in awe….never knew it took so much to be married to a blogger, it s really a fun and adventurous lifestyle…am so much in love with this post ….you guys obviously have great chemistry…. fox and panda make a good match. I seriously adore this post! Am not married and just started blogging two days back, but I will definitely share this with my future hubby. I wish you guys more blissful married and blogging life!!!!
Your comment is so touching and beautiful. Wishing you many years of happy blogging and wedded bliss! Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
A funny yet insightful read! I bet life is adventurous and how surreal to get to capture all the moments with a candid photo and beautiful words – etched in your mind and hearts forever.
Enjoy each other forever.
It really has been a wonderful adventure thus far… your comment is really touching. Thank you for your kind words and feedback 🙂
This really adorable. I sure do see a bond between the two of you, through blogging that is. And i get fascinated by the pictures captured by people and your photos, I must say, are beautiful <3
Ah thank you so much for your kind words. My husband & I have been working so hard on our photography for a good many years so your compliment means the world to us!
I really enjoyed this. You both seem to have a very happy life – good luck for the future!
Ah thank you for your kind words… yes we are pretty happy despite the craziness!
All professions and hobbies can have an affect on life. Blogging adds excitement, adventure and massive Wealth. Right? LOL
Excitement and adventure- yes. Massive wealth- not yet!! Yes you are right, lots of factors can affect life especially relationships. Thanks for reading!
Now I know how my partner feels! 😛 Great post 🙂
Haha yes! I think when my husband wrote it, he didn’t realise the amount of people who would identify with this post but I guess that is the beauty of blogging- it allows you to connect with people through your experiences!
this is good informations…i really like this post..i thank you this post.

I think my boyfriend could relate to a lot of this, especially tolerating my extensive trip planning and waiting around for me to get the photograph I want.
Do share it with him so he knows he isn’t alone!
I loooooove!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy to hear that! Thanks for reading 🙂
Thanks for sharing this great post with us.

Wow…that is deep…good knowledge…thanks for the tip.
Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed 🙂
It was AMAZING!!!! Jajajaja I couldn’t stop laughing and relating to my life as blogger. I’m not married, not even soon to be, but I hope my future husband does think this way. I enjoyed every single part of the post. My blog is still new, and it’s been hard for me, but after reading this it only brings me hope. Thank you for sharing you life with the world.
I am so glad you could relate and found it enjoyable!! I hope this doesn’t scare future hubby away 😀
I don’t even I have a boyfriend… but I hope that when it comes he’ll be as understanding as yours! Jajajaja
At least now you know what to aim for 🙂
Well, very nice post!
😅If interested, Please take a look at my new blog – http://www.glanceinfo.com
Thanks for reading!
Wow. Amazing!
I really loved this post, especially since I’m from SA, I guess it just hits home for us South African bloggers.
Hi fellow South African! Nice to hear from someone in my slice of the world 😀
Wow, love your blog. I’m a beginner so I’m trying to learn how to blog also. Really just for the fun of it. Love the photo’s too the information is awesome. You are a lucky man to have a beautiful woman who blogs and you too will be spectacular at it too.
Thank you so much for your meaningful and kind comment. Yes we are both super lucky to have each other!
I love the conclusion…
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Depends on what kind of blogger 🙂 There must be a world of difference between a travel blogger and a video game blogger (I presume)
That is very true and something worth thinking about.
Nice read！While I was reading your post I couldn’t help thinking “I wish my hubby was as patient when it comes to taking blog photos 😀
I think it takes a bit of training haha!
Hahahaha! So true. His poem is beautiful. Keep the fun and the adventure 🙂
Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words 🙂
Such a beautiful post!
Thank you so much for your feedback as well as all your love on Insta!
I love this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great content👌
I am happy you enjoyed it 🙂
This post is so beautifully written! I would love to be in such a nice marriage one day as you two are. Keep travelling and enjoying life together!

Great and interesting piece

Thank you!
Good one. Keep doing it
Thank you for reading!
What a great post. I loved looking at the different pictures! I have been to India , and may I say it is one of most colorful countries I’ve ever been to. The transportations , the saris (sp?) , the food … I just felt like another hue of contrast was added in every sight. Anyway, your blog inspires me to continue blogging. I only started a few years ago , but was not very consistant with it. I desire to be a blogger that will inspire others to take a leap and go for what is uncomfortable and might be impossible with men. ✌🏼
One can only blog effectively when they are motivated so its good that you took a break. A break gives a much needed perspective! Keep up with the blogging and I am sure you will achieve your goals 🙂 Yes India is incredible and indescribable 😀
You have such a cute and fun-loving blog! I loved the personality and uniqueness of your blog!
Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt comment 🙂
Wonderfully written. I love this!
Thank you so much for reading!
I love this blog post!!!! I’m a new blogger myself welcometoeverydaylifewithatwist.wordpress.com
Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it 🙂
You gave me some ideas of how to layout my blog now style wise ! Thank you 😊
Oh I am happy to help in any way possible!
Nicely written!
Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This actually made me tear up. How much you love your wife is tangible and the way you express it is beautiful..and I kind of want to be her friend. 🙂 You two are inspiring and I absolutely love the last quote. So very, very true. I hope to find that person very soon. In the mean time, I’m starting the process..
Wow your comment is just so beautiful, it made me feel a bit emotional! Please be this Panda’s virtual friend 🙂 Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Umm, excuse me, hi, WHAT is that waffle/ ice cream/ banana/ chocolate drizzle thingy? I want it! Lol. Great post.
Can’t recall what it was, but it sure was delicious (that much I can remember!). Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it 🙂
hehehe You’ve set the bar way to high for us humble bloggers (although my poor wife can relate to the trials and tribulations of being married to an obsessed blogger).
Haha please share with your wife so she knows she is not suffering alone! Thank you for reading and glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I actually had tears by the end and I sent it to my partner. I have recently just decided to follow a blogging path and it has opened me up to a trip around the world to collect and experience wellbeing definitions and journeys… I didn’t know if would, and I feel so alive, but my partner and I are separating for my time. So I sent it to remind them there is always hope for us 🙂
Ah that is so heartwarming to hear! Really hope you guys can reunite soon! Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed this post 🙂
I loved this post. I recently started blogging at the beginning of this year and I have a feeling I will turn into your wife!
Haha I don’t think that is a bad thing 😉 Good luck on your blogging journey!
This is so funny! I had my husband read as this is becoming his life now 🙈😂
I hope he didn’t run away in despair as he realised what was in store for him 😀
Just speechless

I love this so much. Had so much fun reading and found myself laughing lots! It’s great how encouraging and helpful he is despite it being out if his comfort zone, because it’s something you yourself are passionate about. You’ve got yourself the ultimate husband/best friend right there :p
This is fantastic I will surly make my hubby aka Mr. chicken Fry read it also. He is t completely on board …the struggle is real. Lol.
This is beautifully written, you are great at this! #ModernDayRomance
This was so funny to read 😂 I have followed a lot of youtubers and bloggers and some have their significant others involved or have their own channels/blogs but I have always wondered about what it’s like for the significant others that don’t blog and are just along for the ride!
Sounds like you two are having an incredible adventure together. All the best!
Lol
Love it! My husband is living the read too 😂
It’s great to see things from the other’s point of view ! Beautiful post, thank you !
What a sweet post!
Thanks for reading!
My future husband must definitely read this and start Practising photography
“Being married to a blogger, especially a free spirited-wanderlust-chasing-travel blogger, means that you’re married to someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.” – Beautifully written. You make a great couple. Converted to being a follower after this! ❤
