The moment when putting the sandpit together ... Zoe says she failed but Alfie quickly tells Zoe you haven't failed it's a just a work in progress! How positive ... I loved that! 🥰
Question for the next vlog: If you had to create a 'family' themed wedding cake with four tiers - each tier for each member. The largest for Alfie, then 3rd is Zoe, 2nd is Ottie and little top tier is Novie. What would each tier flavour be based on each member and what colour/decoration would each tier have?? :)
alfie's dramatic entrance's for the qotd have been KILLING ME 😭 these daily vlogs have felt so nostalgic to me and brought me back to summer 2014 and those daily vlogs, where i was so excited to get back from school to watch the new vlog and i feel like this is the first time in a long time where i've been excited and have been looking forward to watching youtube everyday which has been so nice! as a more unserious question and paying homage to zoe's pizza addiction, (i also share this same addiction to a cheeky margherita) what is your favourite go-to pizza place and what toppings? can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!
Watching you guys play with your kids and love them so much just heals a huge part of my inner child and I can't thank you enough for that please never stop spending so much time with them it makes a huge difference in their lives.
Ottie's little curls are the cutest thing ever!!! Q- from a third person view, which would you choose to witness a) your parents life since they were kids until they had you b) your life since birth c) Ottie and Novie's future lives when you're not present anymore?
best notification of the day, i dont know what i'll do with my life when vlogust ends 😢 your family brings us all so much joy thank you for sharing these moments with us ❤
Alfie you NEED to try the Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Tea!! They sell it in all the supermarkets and it’s tea which tastes like a biscuit has been dunked in it. Life changing 😂🤩
Absolutely adore seeing you guys in the garden, such a beautiful place for making memories! Your house feels like a space for your children to have endless fun and create everlasting memories, truly warms my heart to watch! Love seeing you guys explore car-boots so wholesome ❤️ Sending you all the love always! Congratulations on reaching Day 18!!! I have loved each day and have made it part of my daily routine to tune in every evening, I have absolutely adored spending August along side you all! The questions at the end of the vlogs is always something that brightens my day, seeing you guys wind down and spend time just the two of you is beautiful to watch and no doubt well deserved! Thank you for sharing your life, always laughing along side you and feeling nothing but warmth from every vlog! Happy Vlogust ❤️⭐️
We bought this sand pit a few years back and painted it with fence paint to protect it. I think it is 1.18m x 1.18m. We just put regular tarp down. The lid/ shade thing doesn't last long and you might want to remove the fabric in winter as it can get mouldy or ripped. Our child is a bit too old for it now so we have upcycled it into a garden bed this year. Its now growing the 3 sisters - Courgettes, sweetcorn and yellow beans! lol
I’m in America, so these normally pop up while I’m at work and I can’t watch them until I get home. I had a sick day so that means I’ve caught it at its drop time! So excited 😁
Ok that ketchup on your cornflakes book hit me HARD. What a throwback! As soon as I saw the front cover I was like “omg that’s the book where it’s split in half and it says you can put ketchup on your toothbrush!” 🤯
i think there needs to be a birthday trip to the isle of wight for miss ottie!! i don’t blame her for that trip making such an impact on her, ive re watched yours, alfies and joes vlogs of the trip upwards of 10 times!!
Seeing 47:37 videos from Zoe makes my heart smile! I truly enjoy sitting and watching the vlogs - there is alot of fake content people put out which I’m like no thanks after a few minutes in but I’ve never felt this way with zoe, I feel it’s homely and true. I’ve enjoyed watching not only Zoe but everyone else within her circle blossom over the years! I often rewatch other videos because they still feel the same as the first videos I started watching- but grown Thank you for sharing snippets of your life with everyone- 18 days later and I still LOVE when it’s 5pm. ❤
Last year I was watching vlogust at the end of my pregnancy and then into having a newborn, this year I am watching vlogust with my son who just turned one (the day this vlog was filmed!) and it is a wild reality check! These videos are such a good, calm option to put on for my son in the morning in between breakfast and his nap and he loves seeing the girls play and laugh. Thank you guys for getting me through august 😮💨
My end of video question - or task ;) - would be: google "36 questions to fall in love" and pick one of them each for both of you to answer - in case you haven't heard of it, it's a set of questions designed by psychologists to make two people fall in love/learn more about eachother :)
+ wanted to add I'm really enjoying the august vlogs, they are so calming and summery and definetely some of my favorite videos of yours, even though I quite enjoy living alongside your cozy vlogs throughout all seasons - I love how you capture every season in such a wholesome and special way!
I am a special education teacher in California and if that didn't already make my plate extremely full. Things got harder for my family and I due to losing my auntie and another brother to cancer. This month, my daily habit has been watching your vlogust videos after work. They fill me with a lot of joy.
In all my years of teaching, I have said, "It's all about the parenting". And watching you two with Ottie and Novie, I need no more convincing. What beautiful children and what wonderful manners and kindness Ottie already displays. Novie so happy😊 You are the best example of gentle, positive, and loving parenting as I've ever seen. (XRef to The Piors in Canada who also show how its done) I'm an old lady now and the children I taught have children of their own and maybe even grandchildren I only hope that some of what I taught them along with their parents have produced a new generation of gentle parents. Love and Congratulations on your lovely family. Xxx's for babies Janice 🦕
Ottie cheering Zoe on while trying the slack line was so incredibly sweet and speaks to the love and encouragement she so clearly receives herself. You guys are killing it at this whole parenting thing (as a mum of a 13-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy, I know how tough it can be, so kudos).
I love that watching your vlogs is watching 2 best friends living the life they built together and your end of the vlog question of the day shows it so well.❤️ I’ve been here since before Zalfie so it makes me happy to see where you are now!
The way Alfie supports Zoe while she builds the sandpit is just the sweetest! It’s like he’s her personal cheerleader! 🎉 And can we just talk about how Ottie is stealing the show with her cute comments? Just melts my heart! 😍🌼
QUESTION. what would be both of your death row meals- if it was your last meal on earth what would you each have: starter, main and dessert. Loving vlogust ❤
YAYYY THE BALANCE BEAM IS BACK …. And I sooo get the phrase ‘habits… who’d have ‘em’ ahhhh they can be so annoying at times… but gotta love a good ‘good habit’. 😂❤
Each vlog is so nostalgic and so lovely to watch. It’s been the highlight of my day 🩷 your family is so beautiful and I hope to have a family similar to this one day
super silent watcher for years but gotta say I love love love vlogust super cosy ! QOD(not really a question): whats both of your MBTI (personality test thing) ? would love to know what you think novie and ottie are too!
God bless this wonderful and lovely family ❤❤❤❤❤. Wishing you lots of good health and happiness 😊. You bring me so much joy and truly brighten my day. Thank you so much for sharing your family and for vlogust ❤❤❤❤❤.
Watching your vids is part of my self care routine while I get ready for bed each night and do my skin care routine. I look forward to it each evening!
these vlogs have made my month so much brighter and happier. i live in australia and it’s so cold and miserable rn so having this little bit of summer everyday makes my so so happy. i have been watching you guys for 10+ years and this is my favourite thing you guys have ever done.
almost every time I hear or say “delicious”, I think of Zoe & Mark with their massive microwave smores and the “delicious” compilation. when Alfie said “delicious” about his biscuit pond, I was waiting for Zoe to say it back 🤣💕
this was one of my fav video to watch ever, also one of my favourite bit of all the videos are the question and answers at the end, smiling finishing this so tqvm guys xx
Owl babies unlocked a memory for me, I used to have that book when I was younger. I absolutely loved that book. I’ve kept it for when I have a baby in the future❤
It's the only vlog I consistently wait for and watch every day, I'm subscribed to a lot of vlogs but this one is the only one I watch, and is actually funny, uplifting, and entertaining, there is just no other vlog channel like this one, very unique because of Zoe and Alfie’s vibe and personality. ❤
Question - If you could go back in the past and read your old journal, which entry would you read and why? Or if you could read someone else's journal, who would it be ? Loving vlogust and can't wait for the Future Self Lifestyle Journal :)
For question of the day: I LOVE asking people their “special interests.” For example, I have a friend whose special interest is ice because she loves using ice trays of different sizes and shapes. Mine is probably teeth because they’re the first thing I notice about people! It’s not to do with your profession or your hobbies generally, just something you love that other people may not pay attention to! Thanks for another lovely vlog🤗
Been a silent viewer for ten plus years but wanted to say I love your videos Zoe! Your little family warms my heart love❤ wanted to know, if you had a boy what potential names were on your list?
I remember in a previous vlog, Zoe mentioned how cool it would be to have two kids and one would look half like her and half like Alfie and the second would look the opposite half of her and other half of Alfie. Well they literally did just that! Ottie is half and half, then Novie is the other halves of them. Such a beautiful family! ♥️♥️♥️
SAND TIP: buy an industrial hoover (not too pricey!) and hoover up the sand when you’re done. It goes into a metal container usually, so you can reuse it 😊
Question - if you and Alfie could have any superpower, what would it be? Absolutely loving Vlogust this year, favourite moment of my day is watching your new videos ♥️
Talking about habits a vlog back in June you were talking about how when Ottie was sick it triggered your emetophobia response and you were mentioning the same responses every morning way back going from the train station home and you developed habits to keep clean as a coping mechanism. basically, being a long time viewer (since the single bed/room in your parents house days) I absolutely admire and respect the growth you’ve come to with your mental health and understanding it as well as being open with your experience, how do you remind yourself to acknowledge how far you’ve come and to prioritise that time to be proud of you? We all have times of being a bit depressed and I’d honestly love to know how taking time for self care has evolved for you xx
Yeah Alfie that is a little weird! 😂 also wanted to say that it’s hard to think what you the vlogs were like before, before Ottie and Novie. I love watching the clips of you guys playing with them. 🥹🥰
I actually think if Zoe uploaded a 7 hour vlog I’d watch every second of it
The moment when putting the sandpit together ... Zoe says she failed but Alfie quickly tells Zoe you haven't failed it's a just a work in progress! How positive ... I loved that! 🥰
my mouth DROPPED watching Alfie drop his biscuit into his tea!
7:44 Zoe: so this is the one that volunteered
*puts the barbies arm up* 😂😂
Omg Ottie is so cute! “A pink house in the Isle of Wight” she is obsessed! 😂❤
Question for the next vlog:
If you had to create a 'family' themed wedding cake with four tiers - each tier for each member.
The largest for Alfie, then 3rd is Zoe, 2nd is Ottie and little top tier is Novie.
What would each tier flavour be based on each member and what colour/decoration would each tier have??
:)
Beyond obsessed with Ottie’s collection of clothes!! Can I have an adult size version of her wardrobe please 🥲
Love how Ottie keeps remembering the Isle of Wight and wishes you were all there 🥰
alfie's dramatic entrance's for the qotd have been KILLING ME 😭 these daily vlogs have felt so nostalgic to me and brought me back to summer 2014 and those daily vlogs, where i was so excited to get back from school to watch the new vlog and i feel like this is the first time in a long time where i've been excited and have been looking forward to watching youtube everyday which has been so nice! as a more unserious question and paying homage to zoe's pizza addiction, (i also share this same addiction to a cheeky margherita) what is your favourite go-to pizza place and what toppings? can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!
Mermaid Barbie is gonna turn into Weird Barbie 🤣
Watching you guys play with your kids and love them so much just heals a huge part of my inner child and I can't thank you enough for that please never stop spending so much time with them it makes a huge difference in their lives.
Ottie's little curls are the cutest thing ever!!!
Q- from a third person view, which would you choose to witness a) your parents life since they were kids until they had you b) your life since birth c) Ottie and Novie's future lives when you're not present anymore?
If Alfie doesn’t enter stage left tomorrow for the question I will riot 😂😂
I love otties emotional intelligence how she notices smells and things like that 💜💜💜
best notification of the day, i dont know what i'll do with my life when vlogust ends 😢 your family brings us all so much joy thank you for sharing these moments with us ❤
Then it will be vlogmas 🎉
@@tu11ah14Zoe’s not doing vlogmas that’s why she’s doing Vlogust 🥺
Alfie you NEED to try the Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Tea!! They sell it in all the supermarkets and it’s tea which tastes like a biscuit has been dunked in it. Life changing 😂🤩
It’s so funny that Zoe in a past vlog was telling us about the waterproof cover as well 😂😂
26:12 such a sweet father/daughter moment
Oh my goodness, alfie with the dropped biscuit in the tea is actually wild😂😂
Absolutely adore seeing you guys in the garden, such a beautiful place for making memories! Your house feels like a space for your children to have endless fun and create everlasting memories, truly warms my heart to watch! Love seeing you guys explore car-boots so wholesome ❤️
Sending you all the love always! Congratulations on reaching Day 18!!! I have loved each day and have made it part of my daily routine to tune in every evening, I have absolutely adored spending August along side you all! The questions at the end of the vlogs is always something that brightens my day, seeing you guys wind down and spend time just the two of you is beautiful to watch and no doubt well deserved!
Thank you for sharing your life, always laughing along side you and feeling nothing but warmth from every vlog! Happy Vlogust ❤️⭐️
Alfie's "I don't think we need it" ahahaha @17:33
We bought this sand pit a few years back and painted it with fence paint to protect it. I think it is 1.18m x 1.18m. We just put regular tarp down. The lid/ shade thing doesn't last long and you might want to remove the fabric in winter as it can get mouldy or ripped. Our child is a bit too old for it now so we have upcycled it into a garden bed this year. Its now growing the 3 sisters - Courgettes, sweetcorn and yellow beans! lol
Ottie still talking about the Isle of Wight warms my heart🥺💕
I really don’t want vlogust to end 😢 u guys are my highlight of the evening
Greetings from Germany 🙌🏼🫶🏼
I’m in America, so these normally pop up while I’m at work and I can’t watch them until I get home. I had a sick day so that means I’ve caught it at its drop time! So excited 😁
Hope you're feeling better!
your family dynamic is the cutest thing ever! loving EVERY minute of watching🩵
Ok that ketchup on your cornflakes book hit me HARD. What a throwback! As soon as I saw the front cover I was like “omg that’s the book where it’s split in half and it says you can put ketchup on your toothbrush!” 🤯
i think there needs to be a birthday trip to the isle of wight for miss ottie!! i don’t blame her for that trip making such an impact on her, ive re watched yours, alfies and joes vlogs of the trip upwards of 10 times!!
This is free therapy❤

Thank you for sharing snippets of your life with everyone- 18 days later and I still LOVE when it’s 5pm. ❤
Sassy Zoe with the chocolate was killing me hahahaha 😂😂 xxxx
I’d love to see you two get your seasonal color analysis done! I think that’d be a fun video
Last year I was watching vlogust at the end of my pregnancy and then into having a newborn, this year I am watching vlogust with my son who just turned one (the day this vlog was filmed!) and it is a wild reality check! These videos are such a good, calm option to put on for my son in the morning in between breakfast and his nap and he loves seeing the girls play and laugh. Thank you guys for getting me through august 😮💨
scene 20:56 is what family is for. Zoe & Alfie just have the cutest little fam and so destined to be girl parents
I started watching you both when I was 12 years old! I’m now 24 and have never missed a video! Loving vlogust❤
Silent watcher but I’m LOVING this years vlogust 🖤🖤

Best family on RUclips! Always brings so much comfort! Keep up the amazing work ❤
I can’t explain the happiness these videos bring me, thank you both for taking the time to share x
Watching you two with your daughters makes me so excited to meet my daughter in 4 months!
You guys just make parenting seem so enjoyable
the amount of times Ottie mentioned The Isle of Wight just in Vlogust is just!!
That clip of Alfie making sure Ottie had her hair up to make dinner was so sweet! That man was made to be a girl dad!
I love that watching your vlogs is watching 2 best friends living the life they built together and your end of the vlog question of the day shows it so well.❤️ I’ve been here since before Zalfie so it makes me happy to see where you are now!
" Your stone could be a chocolate bar" and the fact that zoe ignored that has me ROLLING
The way Alfie supports Zoe while she builds the sandpit is just the sweetest! It’s like he’s her personal cheerleader! 🎉 And can we just talk about how Ottie is stealing the show with her cute comments? Just melts my heart! 😍🌼
THE BISCUIT DROPPING. I am horrified 😂😂😂😂😂
QUESTION. what would be both of your death row meals- if it was your last meal on earth what would you each have: starter, main and dessert. Loving vlogust ❤

Going to miss these after August!! ❤
YAYYY THE BALANCE BEAM IS BACK …. And I sooo get the phrase ‘habits… who’d have ‘em’ ahhhh they can be so annoying at times… but gotta love a good ‘good habit’. 😂❤
Each vlog is so nostalgic and so lovely to watch. It’s been the highlight of my day 🩷 your family is so beautiful and I hope to have a family similar to this one day

Omg the owl babies! That’s unlocked a deep memory!!
I could cryyyy watching all 4 of you playing with the ball
When Alfie sneezed,i said "god bless you".....out loud.....to my laptop screen🤦♀.
I thought I was the only one who sometimes drops a biscuit in my tea on purpose,, 37:22 😂😂😂
Watching your vids is part of my self care routine while I get ready for bed each night and do my skin care routine. I look forward to it each evening!
Ottie is amazing ,there are no other words. I could watch you all for as long as possible . Thankyou for sharing 🤗
these vlogs have made my month so much brighter and happier. i live in australia and it’s so cold and miserable rn so having this little bit of summer everyday makes my so so happy. i have been watching you guys for 10+ years and this is my favourite thing you guys have ever done.
Idk why but I found Alfie tying up Ottie's hair in the kitchen so sweet
almost every time I hear or say “delicious”, I think of Zoe & Mark with their massive microwave smores and the “delicious” compilation. when Alfie said “delicious” about his biscuit pond, I was waiting for Zoe to say it back 🤣💕
this was one of my fav video to watch ever, also one of my favourite bit of all the videos are the question and answers at the end, smiling finishing this so tqvm guys xx
Hey!! Your videos have truly made my august and I look forward to 5pm everyday 🩷🩷
Omg I remember getting the owl babies book when I was younger
Owl babies unlocked a memory for me, I used to have that book when I was younger. I absolutely loved that book. I’ve kept it for when I have a baby in the future❤
I feel like i keep forgetting ottie is only (almost) 3 she really is such a smart little girl!
It's the only vlog I consistently wait for and watch every day, I'm subscribed to a lot of vlogs but this one is the only one I watch, and is actually funny, uplifting, and entertaining, there is just no other vlog channel like this one, very unique because of Zoe and Alfie’s vibe and personality. ❤
I think ottie needs a holiday to the isle of white for her birthday😅
you guys are great parents!
Nothing better than catching up on all the vlogs I’ve been looking forward to after working shifts 🥰
I love the smell of new plastic too. I thought it was just me and my weird ways. 🤟🏼
Not a question but I’m enjoying Vlogust so much, it’s my favourite part of the day!!! 🫶
You are such a wholesome family 🥺 I loved watching you play in the sandpit
Watching you playing with girls was so fulfilling!
I'd like to have the next question of the day answered in bed eating the chocolate 😅 like a chocolate mukbang😂😂 35:01
Loving vlogust, I could watch Ottie all day. Her little personality is the cutest ever! xox
I’m getting married on the 28th and vlogaust has been the perfect countdown before I leave my childhood home 💕
Question - If you could go back in the past and read your old journal, which entry would you read and why? Or if you could read someone else's journal, who would it be ?
Loving vlogust and can't wait for the Future Self Lifestyle Journal :)
Its so funny to see you answer questions each night, it’s my favorite part
Omg Ottie is just a wee dote!! And Novie is precious 💕 beautiful family
For question of the day: I LOVE asking people their “special interests.” For example, I have a friend whose special interest is ice because she loves using ice trays of different sizes and shapes.

Absolutely loving Vlogust, it's been the highlight of every day for me! Super thankful for it!!
My husband does the SAME thing with his clothes where he looks like he melted 😂😂 drives me (a Virgo) INSANE! 47:05
SAND TIP: buy an industrial hoover (not too pricey!) and hoover up the sand when you’re done. It goes into a metal container usually, so you can reuse it 😊
I have a very strong feeling that the Isle of Wight is a core memory for Ottie !!! Not too far away from me !
Question - if you and Alfie could have any superpower, what would it be? Absolutely loving Vlogust this year, favourite moment of my day is watching your new videos ♥️
Talking about habits a vlog back in June you were talking about how when Ottie was sick it triggered your emetophobia response and you were mentioning the same responses every morning way back going from the train station home and you developed habits to keep clean as a coping mechanism. basically, being a long time viewer (since the single bed/room in your parents house days) I absolutely admire and respect the growth you’ve come to with your mental health and understanding it as well as being open with your experience, how do you remind yourself to acknowledge how far you’ve come and to prioritise that time to be proud of you?

the 'ketchup on your cornflakes' book bought back SO many memories! it literally took me back to reading that as a kid😭
I could listen to her read children books for hours lol it’s so soothing
