Hello, I’m Ben, husband
and partner in adventure to Sophie.
I know it's a little strange for a husband to be guest posting on his wife’s
blog, especially when you haven’t heard too much about me. I'm the one that's usually behind the camera during these outfit posts. But today I've got a secret to share. The past nine
years by Sophie’s side have entailed by far the most amazing experiences
I have ever had. Our adventures first began on the night of a Rugby World Cup
final. Australia lost that year, but I didn't. Over the years they have included a trip to Europe, a move to the
Sunset Country and many interesting experiences in between, especially a
million and one weird and wonderful thrifting outings.
Now Sophie and I are so very excited to announce our new adventure, a
tiny new addition to our library adventures due in Mid-December. We now embark upon
our most wonderful and exciting time yet.
Much love to my beautiful wife and mother to be.
Ben
