Ottie's speech is just amazing, you both have done an incredible job. What sort of things do you think helped bring her speech along so well at such a young age? Both little ones are thriving! Love watching your lovely family xx
5pm is definitely the best time of day for the whole of August now that vlogust has arrived ❤❤ Feel so lucky that such a beautiful family share their life with us on here 🥰
50:49 shows just how in love with each other you two are. You can have conversations and laugh and admire each other. I think your chats are my absolute favorite things. They make me look forward to being in love one day❤️❤️❤️
As a florist, I love love LOVE seeing people appreciate flowers the same way I do! Those big pink ones are proteas and are always showstoppers!! My flower subscription clients are always my favorite arrangements to do because they're such a sweet way to bring life into our living spaces. It's so fun to see you and your family share them!
Just been to see my Nan with dementia and it was a tough visit so coming home and watching this is exactly what I need ❤❤ so excited for the rest of Vlogust too 🥰
It’s bittersweet for me to see Nala as she is about a month younger than my fur baby who passed last year from cancer. She would’ve turned 10 this year. Miss her so much.
I’m 37 with my first baby turning 9 months old next week, going back to work at the end of August and I’m absolutely dreading it. Vlogust is genuinely going to help the anxiety levels so much. Love you all so much- viewer of many years here and have watched you through so many chapters in life, but being in this early years parenting chapter with you is a dream 🧡xxx
Nala turning 10 next year has just made me realise how long it’s actually been since I started watching you😢😢I remember the very first vlog when you both got her Xx
What Alfie said about the clouds is something i notice every time i come to visit my grandfather in London. I live in Toronto and here the sky/clouds look sooo high and big, but when i come to the uk i instantly feel like the sky is so much closer to the ground Lolol.
I honestly thought so much about how I loved Vlogust last year and Vlogust being back this year is just the beeessstttt thing ever. So thank you so much for your commitment and I looovveeee to see how clever Ottie is and how are you so super patient and gentle with her and Novie 😍❤️🥺
Can’t believe Nala and Buzz are turning 10! Seems like they were just puppies :( Loving Vlogust so far! Thank you Zoe and Alfie for taking the time to film and edit these videos everyday ❤
Throw back to Zoe and Alfie playing the sims series!!💜 One of my favorite moments they did together. I enjoyed watching this vlog so much, thank you Zoe and Alfie❣️
Living in Australia and I wake up so excited for the day because I get to watch the vlogs! Vlogust last year got me through some tough times with my anxiety and I am so so happy that you are doing it again❤️❤️❤️Thankyou both for making the massive effort 💞 it’s not just video to a lot of us
vlogust is the best time of the year!! I love coming home and knowing i’ve got a cosy video to watch. My anxiety is at an all time high at the moment and these videos are helping so much. Thankyou guys 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
my husband and I are currently TTC and I just got my cycle today so been feeling a bit down but seeing you with your girls makes me so happy and excited for the future 🥹🫶🏻
Vlog Question: if you were a flower what flower would you be and why? I’ve been a florist for 11 years and I absolutely love a challenge and making something different. Making bouquets from the website gets sooo boring so it makes me happy to hear that you love getting different florals 💐 ✨
I just love vlogust it makes the year and the end to summer so much better! Thank you both for your commitment & time and effort you put into the videos! Much love ❤️
I'm just getting to watch this. I just wanted to say I absolutely loved that Sims series. I remember staying up till the sun rose when I was younger watching it 🤣🩷
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the distraction - I'm currently awake and unwell anxiously waiting for an emergency GP appointment at 2am. Good to have a nice long calming vlog to get me through the wait! Xx
‘Saving sweet pea seeds: Seed can be collected in early September. Leave the seed pods on the plants until they have turned a paper bag colour. Collect them on a dry day, remove them from their pods and store in paper bags in a dry place until you are ready to sow them.‘ You probably know this already but just in case … (a nice fun & learning process for the Ots) ❤
Hey Both! So glad you are doing this again. I have a suggestion. Last year you did all the nice places to visit in Brighton, could you do a "where to take your kids around Brighton" please. Thank You. Sending love from next door 🏴 (Wales not your actual next door 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣)
Soooo happy to wake up to a new video (they upload at 10 my time!!) and I get to pick what time during the day I wanna watch ❤ definitely a special treat and highlight for me!!
I looooooooooove the idea of you both answering a question after every video. It's like a mini podcast!!! coz let's face it, when the two of you are together, an answer can never be short LOL
Zoe is so right about flowers! 💐 Mel Robbins did a podcast on the benefits of flowers. Such a simple thing to do to benefit your mental health. My question for Zoe and Alfie is what attachment style are you both?
Watching your videos for almost 9 years💗 I am fascinated observing how you both are bringing up Ottie! Could you please share what principles or rules you have in parenting? As ‘do’ and ‘don’ts
9:24 YESS! I bought the tangy rhubarb for my mom and it was her favorite. Smelled so nice on her and gave me the best smell memory. Would love if they brought it back.
Question: Which parts of yourself can you see in the girls and which parts of the other would you like them to have? (Zoe chooses parts of Alfie and vice-versa) It can be personality traits or physical. It's so good to end the day with vlogust!! To get ready for bed and then sit down to watch your beautiful family creating these lovely memories ❤ I loved the bit at the end so much, i really enjoy these chatty bits at alfie's vlogs but i feel like when it's both of you it feels even more like listening to old friends talk! And your personalities are so complimentary, it's so interesting to see the different approach to things. Alfie trying to get you to try new things was funny, he was so set on you finding a new hobby. I think you would enjoy journaling, can be both creative and not so demanding. I do it in my phone when i don't feel like to decorate. Vlogging already is a form of journaling tho. 😂 Also, Ottie is such a mini Zoe in this one ❤ she's so cuteeeee, her tone saying "mommy" while putting her hands up in the baking section was SO Zoe that I giggled a bit. I'm so used to see her with Alfie that these moments of her being a mini Zoe are highlighted for me. I noted with yesterday's vlog that she acts differently when with mom or dad, and reminded of how I am with my siblings, having different little inside jokes with them! Novie is so cute too, her little screams and her energy with Ottie is so fun to watch! Nola is almost the same age as my dog, and is so unfair that they get old so fast. Her lil buggy eyes tho ❤ I actually forgot that you guys had a the sims series even though it used to be my de-stress in high school 😂😅 so many years and different eras thst i genuinely gorget somethings! Lovely video as always, thank you guys for sharing ❤
having a slight existential crisis realizing how long i’ve been a viewer of yours… been watching since you still lived in your family home with your mum and joe 😅 so qotd: favorite memories from those very early youtube days? i love how creators are returning to personalized creative content and not following specific formulas and video structures
I love how relatable this vlog was. Just made me smile so much. If you were to do games night which games would you pick for your week and which games would you really hope don't come up. Have a lovely weekend. Clare x
The Dairy Milk and more is my favourite chocolate bar!! tasted like a kinder bueno it’s amazing 💕 Loving vlogust so far, my favourite part of the day ❤️
QOTD for tomorrow : Is your anxiety manageable with two little ones ? / Do you have the time to listen to your emotions? Ps : you're a true sunshine, who has helped me go through so much since 10 years at least. I can never thank you enough 💜
my question is how do you handle arguments around the girls? and especially now with daily vlogging. if one is upset with the other, how do you handle that?
Baking with Ottie is soooo nice, she's such a smart girl. The convo with your mum at the end of the video was hilarious 🤣🤣 it could be nice if you answered questions yourselves and then phoned to someone from the family to answer as well😊
These vlogs are the best part of my day atm 😂 you guys should try the A-Z dates. You work your way through the alphabet of dates beginning with each letter! ❤
question for both of you! if zalfie was never outed when it was (big up jim) when would do you think the two of you would have shared your relationship publicly? been watching since the beginning of both of you, born and raised in brighton, since moved to the US but love continuing watching your vids as if feels like a slice of home
Can you do a Motherhood Q & A? You have so many good tips and resources that would be lovely to have in one video! I also have two kids around the same age as Ottie and Novie.
These videos are exactly what I need at the minute ❤️ How come Novie and Ottie would one day share a room? Just a parenting preference for their younger years or do you have plans for one of their rooms in the future?
I loved the part where you were all singing for Novie, we tend to think that babies don’t need to interact that much where in fact most of their affective security is built around this age. ✨
Thank you for the inspiration to do hard things. I’ve been walking on my walking pad for the length of the video each night and today I hit 3 miles/5 Kilometers from walking during it. ❤️☺️ My question for you is “What is this phase of life teaching you?”
cry laughing at Alfie coming in while editing to say he ate all the chocolate 😂😂
Zoe is literally me when it comes to hobbies lol. "These are hobbies I would do, If I wanted to do them. But I can't be bothered" That made laugh 😂😂
The Alfie-finishing-the-chocolate confession - hilarious! 😄
I do appreciate the realness they have about toddler meltdowns being a thing! Relateable wholesomeness
Ottie's speech is just amazing, you both have done an incredible job. What sort of things do you think helped bring her speech along so well at such a young age? Both little ones are thriving! Love watching your lovely family xx
Seeing Nalas little grey paws melted my heart because I remember watching the vlog where you brought her home for the first time and she was so tiny 🥺
Zoe I feel like you'd love learning about floristry and flower arranging, I think that might be a hobby you'd like 🥰🌼
5pm is definitely the best time of day for the whole of August now that vlogust has arrived ❤❤
Feel so lucky that such a beautiful family share their life with us on here 🥰
“You’re funny Ottie”
“Yes I am”
Killedddddd me, she’s the best😂
50:49 shows just how in love with each other you two are. You can have conversations and laugh and admire each other. I think your chats are my absolute favorite things. They make me look forward to being in love one day❤️❤️❤️
Vlogust fills me with much needed endorphins to get me through the day. Thank you both for the commitment, we appreciate you😢❤
My anxiety has never needed this vlog as much as it does today 😢 thank you Zoe!
The way Alfie looks at you while answering questions is goals! I love seeing the affection you have for each other.
As a florist, I love love LOVE seeing people appreciate flowers the same way I do! Those big pink ones are proteas and are always showstoppers!! My flower subscription clients are always my favorite arrangements to do because they're such a sweet way to bring life into our living spaces. It's so fun to see you and your family share them!
Alfie's editors comment is just so funny 😂😂😂
Jaw dropped when you put Novie down for her nap awake 😮 mum of 3 and never been able to achieve this 😂 you have 2 absolutely beautiful little girls xx
Just been to see my Nan with dementia and it was a tough visit so coming home and watching this is exactly what I need ❤❤ so excited for the rest of Vlogust too 🥰
It’s bittersweet for me to see Nala as she is about a month younger than my fur baby who passed last year from cancer. She would’ve turned 10 this year. Miss her so much.
Alfie popping in to say he ate the rest of the chocolate bar is everything! You better replace it before Zoe notices Alfie. 😁
50:30 is giving Phoebe Buffay "I wish I could, but I don't want to" 😂 I totally get it!
How I have missed Zoe’s vlogs, she is just sunshine on a gray day. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us. Hello from North Carolina USA💐🤗
I have never related to Zoe more about the hobbies hahaha! Exercise is a chore and not a hobby🤣🤣
I’m 37 with my first baby turning 9 months old next week, going back to work at the end of August and I’m absolutely dreading it. Vlogust is genuinely going to help the anxiety levels so much. Love you all so much- viewer of many years here and have watched you through so many chapters in life, but being in this early years parenting chapter with you is a dream 🧡xxx
More of Alfie popping in with commentary! 😂 It’s the best of both of you omg I LOVE it.
Nala turning 10 next year has just made me realise how long it’s actually been since I started watching you😢😢I remember the very first vlog when you both got her Xx
The excitement I have for this month 🥹 these vlogs make me smile no matter what kind of day I’m having ❤️
QOTD - is there any mistakes you’ve made in your life that you want to teach your girls not to do
What Alfie said about the clouds is something i notice every time i come to visit my grandfather in London. I live in Toronto and here the sky/clouds look sooo high and big, but when i come to the uk i instantly feel like the sky is so much closer to the ground Lolol.

So thankful for these vlogs. Recovering from covid, and massive anxiety means I’ve been rewatching all vlogs but vlogust is saving me x
so happy vlogust is back, love and appreciate both of you 🫶
Watching these videos gives me such a safe place to just relax and forget everything and watch such a lovely family, thank you for what you guys do! ❤
I just finished yesterday's video, now straight into this one while I eat dinner
Can’t believe Nala and Buzz are turning 10! Seems like they were just puppies :(
Loving Vlogust so far! Thank you Zoe and Alfie for taking the time to film and edit these videos everyday ❤
Throw back to Zoe and Alfie playing the sims series!!💜 One of my favorite moments they did together. I enjoyed watching this vlog so much, thank you Zoe and Alfie❣️
Absolutely love the Q/A at the end and the endless banter ❤😅 I love how actively Alfie listens to Zoe.
It’s so nice to see Holly. I hope she’s doing well. 🩵
You guys have stayed so relatable and down to earth throughout your successes and blessings 🩷 so lovely to see for us oldie subs ☺️
I love it so much to listen to you two talking to each other! ❤
Living in Australia and I wake up so excited for the day because I get to watch the vlogs! Vlogust last year got me through some tough times with my anxiety and I am so so happy that you are doing it again❤️❤️❤️Thankyou both for making the massive effort 💞 it’s not just video to a lot of us

7:20 love the clip from Alfie 😂
I get that lovely inner happy feeling when your thumbnail appears. I was already on your broadcast channel waiting ❤
Vlog Question: if you were a flower what flower would you be and why?
I’ve been a florist for 11 years and I absolutely love a challenge and making something different. Making bouquets from the website gets sooo boring so it makes me happy to hear that you love getting different florals 💐 ✨
I just love vlogust it makes the year and the end to summer so much better! Thank you both for your commitment & time and effort you put into the videos! Much love ❤️
You're so lucky to still have your nanny here Zoe! And Ottie and Novie are so lucky to have a grand-nanny🥰🥺
Ottie is actually the cutest and loviest little girl 🥰🥰🥰 It’s so lovely to see where you guys have all come from!
I'm just getting to watch this. I just wanted to say I absolutely loved that Sims series. I remember staying up till the sun rose when I was younger watching it 🤣🩷
lmfaoooooo THE ENDING talking about hobbies making me GIGGLE
wow I have never been so early! My favourite time of the day watching this with my dinner ❤️
Ottie is soooo smart 😍 I love hearing her little conversations
I'm loving vlogust so far! I'm currently 2 weeks post partum and it's the perfect break in my day 🙏
Zoe talking about games made me think how much she would love stardew valley!
Zoe, your moms house seems so beautiful❤❤
Loved the chat about hobbies, you both are hilarious! Also seeing the girls fills me with so much joy now that I'm pregnant with my own girl
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the distraction - I'm currently awake and unwell anxiously waiting for an emergency GP appointment at 2am. Good to have a nice long calming vlog to get me through the wait! Xx

Thank you for vlogust. Iam at my final weeks of pregnancy and this makes it so much easier. Counting final days by your vlogs. 🍀♥️🎉
I do appreciate you guys doing these videos so much, I really enjoy them! The kids are so very adorable!🥰🌸🌺🌻🌼🍀
"these are hobbies I would do... if I wanted to do them" lol same girl 😅
Could not be happier now vlogust has started!!!! xx 💞💞
Hey Both! So glad you are doing this again. I have a suggestion. Last year you did all the nice places to visit in Brighton, could you do a "where to take your kids around Brighton" please.
Thank You.
Sending love from next door 🏴 (Wales not your actual next door 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣)

I love how long your vlogs are 🩵🩵 a great way to wind down my day
I love this banter between you two❤
Also my question- How do you see your life after 5 years?
The nostalgia I feel when you and Ottie are baking cakes! I used to do this with my mum and nan
Question: Which parts of yourself can you see in the girls and which parts of the other would you like them to have? (Zoe chooses parts of Alfie and vice-versa) It can be personality traits or physical.

I’m usually a silent viewer, but I’ve had such a down day today. Your vlogs cheer me up so much! I really needed this today, so thank you🥰
From my side of the world the new video time is 10 am! so I love waking up and having a new video to watch!
I love how relatable this vlog was. Just made me smile so much. If you were to do games night which games would you pick for your week and which games would you really hope don't come up. Have a lovely weekend. Clare x

Scrapbooking would be a great hobby for Zoe, she is creative and takes plenty of photos.
Novie in the Emma chamberlain cup at 2:59 is SENDING ME OMGGGGG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved the question section at the end, so funny 😂
These vlogs are the best part of my day atm 😂 you guys should try the A-Z dates. You work your way through the alphabet of dates beginning with each letter! ❤
another beautiful video❤ thank you for sharing all the real and lovely parts of life!
i love zoe so much have been watching for years! and the girls are so cute
question for both of you! if zalfie was never outed when it was (big up jim) when would do you think the two of you would have shared your relationship publicly? been watching since the beginning of both of you, born and raised in brighton, since moved to the US but love continuing watching your vids as if feels like a slice of home
Wtf those flowers are INCREDIBLE! 🫨🩷
Happy Day 2 of Vlogust!!!! ❤
Loved seeing Nala and a bit of Holly in this one

Zoe you should take Ottie to the Paddington experience!!! It’s by the London eye and was so fun for the family and very interactive, she’d LOVE it!!
Loving the Vlogust thank you both❤ August is busy for us with family Birtdays too. 🎉❤
I loved the part where you were all singing for Novie, we tend to think that babies don’t need to interact that much where in fact most of their affective security is built around this age. ✨
