I can’t believe how big Ottie is already! Seeing how big her jumpers and dresses are is wild - I still feel like the pregnancy announcement was just yesterday 😂😭💗
I would love to see a sit down Q&A w your mum. Like what it’s like for her to see you as a mum now, talking about childhood toys you loved & funny toddler or little kids stories. Maybe like funny or interesting things that you thought as a kid.
I am nostalgic too , but I would say it comes in phases. You nailed it when you said “when the world gets too much, you go back to childhood nostalgia. That’s how I am- I go back to fave childhood Disney films, looking up childhood candy or things I had as a kid.
My weekend was garbage until this notification popped on. Im always so happy to sit back and hear zoe talk and the vlogs always calm me so much. Thank you❤
Completely understand the nostalgic feel, I’m always looking back through old photos or listening to songs takes you right back to that happy place, loving Otties little house 😊🤍💛
I feel like the 2 things that we’re most similar with (and probably why I’ve loved watching you so much the past 11 years or so) are our love of the seasons and how embracing them makes us happy. And also the nostalgia, I think nostalgia’s formed my whole personality, even my fashion I love clothes that remind me of the 90s so I totally get it! 💛
My favourite programme that my 22 month old watches up to now is Sarah and Duck. She quacks along to the theme tune which is absolutely adorable, it’s quite calming and also a little bit surreal. Paddington is definitely up there too 🥰
I was going to suggest *“Sarah & Duck”* too!! My husband and I would love watching that when my little boy was younger. Zoe you must try it… I think you would love it!! It’s just so sweet and lovely x
I used to go to the Isle of Wight for family caravan holidays and used to love Black Gang Chine! Can’t wait to take my little boy there. Fingers crossed for the weather wizard still being there!
Growing up we always went to the Isle of Wight for our family holidays where we would stay in a caravan. Every single time, without fail, we would go to Black Gang Chine. There’s a photo of my grandad from when my mum was a toddler in the demon/monster mouth there and that same “fixture” is still there. We take photos with it every time. I love how timeless the whole place is. Also the only kids tv show I will really get into and tend to watch even if the boys have fell asleep is Bluey or Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. It used to be Paddington when they were smaller. Been watching since late 2011, early 2012. I love how I’ve grown and made a family alongside you doing the same. Your videos have evolved with me!
Save the sentimental pieces for your next baby, and donate the onesies and vests etc. Lots of Ottie’s sweaters, jeans and overalls could be worn by a boy as well. I’ve seen lots of cool quilts made out of sentimental clothing pieces through Etsy sellers. I love this kind of vlog! I only found you through your pregnancy content right around the time Ottie was born. I am Canadian but live in the US and I much prefer British vloggers to American ones. ❤
I was just randomly thinking the other day (whilst rewatching your old vlogs) about how i would love an unedited video of you and your/Alfies family playing boardgames. Ultimate cozy feelgood vibes 😄🥰
Usually I am a silent watcher and have been since I was around 13 years old. But today at 20 I still shout “Oh my gosh Zoe posted!” And proceeded to drop everything I was doing to start watching.
I couldn’t believe when you said black gang chine!! I went there every year on holiday as well, i went back about 2 years ago and couldn’t believe how much it changed but also how much they’d kept there (like old dinosaurs ect) was an amazing day!!xxxx
I've never commented on a video of yours Zoe (very much a silent watcher over here) but I wanted to say thank you, your videos are so comforting and cosy, this one really helped with a bad day at work ♡
I used to work as a nanny and loved watching movies and shows with the kids! I remember showing them Coraline and them being so captivated by it. Also, Bluey is amazing!
My husband and I have loved watching kids cartoons/animated shows long before we had our daughter, we can’t wait to show her all of our favorite shows! I actually started watching bluey before she was old enough to enjoy it and I love it!
I’ve been watching your videos since I was in year 7 which made me 12 years old ??, to now- I am 20, and I still love watching your videos. I feel like I’ve grown up watching you and now seeing you with Ottie makes me so excited for the future, I love watching the family life side and can’t wait to carry on watching Ottie grow etc
i’m a bit late watching this vlog but i LOVE when you wear pink lips!! i know it’s not often but you have a pink lip in the All The Emotions vlog with Mark and i always LOVED your lip look in that video!! (also so specific but i only know because it’s my favorite to rewatch 😂) love ya!
I love hearing you talk about your childhood holidays to the isle of wight in a caravan and going to Blackgang Chine because that's exactly what we used to do as kids and it was my all time favourite place! Deffo need to go back some day :) xxx
i love your ramblings! i'm so glad you said how you feel about nostalgia, i completely feel the same way very often and no one in my life quite gets it and i can't seem to explain it well! you said it beautifully and articulated it perfectly! i love watching ottie grow and learn, your little family is so so sweet and makes me so excited to start my own 🩷 thank you for always giving me a sense of nostalgia and joy
Good to see you back Zoe!! I'm definitely nostalgic. Watching childhood films, or cartoons, really brings me joy ❤ I also have flight anxiety, I'm going away in June, I'm absolutely terrified. Hopefully focusing on Ottie will take your mind if your own anxiety. Xx (Also love that play house)
Ottie is just so precious and adorable, I just want to squeeze her little face (in a loving way , cos I miss my niece being that young, she’s 8 now 😮😢) xx
I used to holiday in a place called Allhallows in Kent. I grew up with a caravan holiday every summer. I took my children back there and It was amazing. To watch them run around the same place I did was mind blowing. It brought back so many memories and emotions just from a small caravan park !. Xx
Maybe with Ottie’s wardrobe, every so often you could rotate the storage cubes so she’s using all the clothes and you can organise it at the same time. Might help with what she has :)
I find the differences in language in children's songs around the world so interesting. Zoe sang "Ring a ring o' roses" where here in the States we would sing "Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies...". It makes me wonder where those differences come from and how they start.
I used to watch you on TH-cam years back before you were married to Alfie and I just heard your channel brought up somewhere and I looked you up I’m so happy to see 🥰🥰🥰 brought to tears. So glad it all worked for you
I live 5 minutes away from black gang chine! It’s probably changed a lot since you last went but still as nostalgic as ever, and I’m sure Ottie will absolutely love it xx
can i just say?...as an ancient viewer (JOKING JEEZ) seeing you grow so much and so..just..beautifully, is soo inspiring. It gives me, truly, hope , enough to expect a better future me, as long as i keep working on me :)
I’m very nostalgic as well. When I see a movie I watched as a child or even just look at an old photo, I’m completely transported back to that time. It’s so visceral.
Watching this vlog is a bit bittersweet for me today. Tw because while my due date would have been around now, I was sadly injured and lost the pregnancy last year. Ottie is so sweet and cute and seeing her interact with you both is such a sweet thing for me today when part of me doesnt even want to get up
*Sarah & Duck* is a must Zoe. You will all love it. Such a lovely animated programme ❤ Also when Ottie is a bit older I think she will enjoy (and you and Alfie) *”Ben & Holly’s Magic Kingdom”* x
Love Ottie’s Playhouse. How they’ve improved since the one used by my grandchildren. What a well kept hedge you have in your garden. Well done whoever cuts it 👏 It’s early Monday morning in Wiltshire and Sun looks like it’s trying to peek through the clouds 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
It’s so funny seeing all of this clothes 😊. My son is 2 years old now and I how four shoe boxes with clothes. One with his wool/silk bodies and thin trousers. One with his cotton tops and sweaters, one with cotton trousers and one with the bulky winter wool clothing (sweaters, dungarees, trousers). I fold them Marie Kondo style so I can see everything and it’s perfect. And although it’s not much, I recognize, that some items are not worn often…
Watch the Bluey episode “Sleepytime”, its got such a lovely story and relies on beautiful visual story telling… made me cry as a grown up lol. Bluey is just such a positive representation of young families, especially great dads like Alfie
Love hearing you talk about The Isle of Wight a family favourite of ours going two or three times a year made great memories there will always be our second home can't wait to see you there with Ottie x
I can’t believe how big Ottie is already! Seeing how big her jumpers and dresses are is wild - I still feel like the pregnancy announcement was just yesterday 😂😭💗
Even after 12 years I still get so excited when I see Zoe has uploaded! 🤍
Agreed!
Agree 100%!!!
Same ❤
100%. I do a "ooh yay" reaction haha!
soooo true !
i cant get over how sweet Ottie is as shes growing up and becoming more herself!!! melts my heart
My heart when ottie says mummy and daddy, its too cute
I love how excited Zoe is for the future with Ottie. Too many parents only seem to want babies and lament them getting older. What a wonderful mama!
Parenthood suits you and Alfie. I think it's completed you both beyond measure.
I would love to see a sit down Q&A w your mum. Like what it’s like for her to see you as a mum now, talking about childhood toys you loved & funny toddler or little kids stories. Maybe like funny or interesting things that you thought as a kid.
It was so cute seeing Nala lay in your lap when you started talking about your flying anxiety, such a sweetheart.
I am nostalgic too , but I would say it comes in phases. You nailed it when you said “when the world gets too much, you go back to childhood nostalgia. That’s how I am- I go back to fave childhood Disney films, looking up childhood candy or things I had as a kid.
zoes hair in a half-up bun is just hair goals!
I literally love watching you and Alfie being parents 🥹
My weekend was garbage until this notification popped on. Im always so happy to sit back and hear zoe talk and the vlogs always calm me so much. Thank you❤
I want Ottie’s wardrobe in adult sizes 😭😭 so lush!! xx
There is nothing better then a long zoe sugg vlog on a sunday.. 😍
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this vlog Zoe, it really cheered me up, happy Sunday everyone, have the best week! ❤🥰🧡
Completely understand the nostalgic feel, I’m always looking back through old photos or listening to songs takes you right back to that happy place, loving Otties little house 😊🤍💛

love a zoe vlog on a sunday- just the best feeling and the best way to end a week x

Zoe you must try it… I think you would love it!! It’s just so sweet and lovely x
Ottie saying "hedgehog" in the background is so funny and cute! (Just before the eye mask)
So relaxing watching y'all on a Sunday. Sending love!
I used to go to the Isle of Wight for family caravan holidays and used to love Black Gang Chine! Can’t wait to take my little boy there. Fingers crossed for the weather wizard still being there!
Ottie melts my heart, she is so adorable!! Always love the vlogs xox
You and Alfie are the BEST parents. I can tell Ottie is absolutely the center of y’all’s world. She is so adorable!
Growing up we always went to the Isle of Wight for our family holidays where we would stay in a caravan. Every single time, without fail, we would go to Black Gang Chine.

Literally can’t tell you how nice it was to see you’d uploaded - your vlogs are so comforting for the Sunday scaries! xxx
The fact that when you were talking about your anxiety, nala got up a walked onto your lap ! 🥺 melts, my heart pets are so special
when the world gets a little much I watch your vlogs from years ago! they're so so comforting as I've been watching you since 2012
Always love when Zoe uploads a video, it’s a perfect end to my week watching a 40 minute vlog 💕
Usually I am a silent watcher and have been since I was around 13 years old. But today at 20 I still shout “Oh my gosh Zoe posted!” And proceeded to drop everything I was doing to start watching.

Had such a high anxiety day and nothing brings me more comfort than watching your vlogs Zoe! Been a silent watcher since 2013
LOVE Ottie's mini house 😍😍🥺❤️
I can’t even express how much I relate to you talking about how nostalgic you are. That is literally me!! Glad I’m not the only one😂
You never fail to make me smile ❤
I used to work as a nanny and loved watching movies and shows with the kids! I remember showing them Coraline and them being so captivated by it. Also, Bluey is amazing!
My husband and I have loved watching kids cartoons/animated shows long before we had our daughter, we can’t wait to show her all of our favorite shows! I actually started watching bluey before she was old enough to enjoy it and I love it!

Good to see you back Zoe!! I'm definitely nostalgic. Watching childhood films, or cartoons, really brings me joy ❤
I also have flight anxiety, I'm going away in June, I'm absolutely terrified.
Hopefully focusing on Ottie will take your mind if your own anxiety. Xx
(Also love that play house)
I loved seeing how excited and happy Ottie was in her new house! So sweet 😄
Ottie is such a bundle of joy❤She is so lovely😍
Ottie is just so precious and adorable, I just want to squeeze her little face (in a loving way , cos I miss my niece being that young, she’s 8 now 😮😢) xx
I used to holiday in a place called Allhallows in Kent. I grew up with a caravan holiday every summer. I took my children back there and It was amazing. To watch them run around the same place I did was mind blowing. It brought back so many memories and emotions just from a small caravan park !. Xx

Your vlogs always give positive vibes .. love u
You need to show her Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin adventures! She is the perfect age for it!
I second this!
I find the differences in language in children's songs around the world so interesting. Zoe sang "Ring a ring o' roses" where here in the States we would sing "Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies...". It makes me wonder where those differences come from and how they start.

My daughter's are now 25yrs old and 14years old and I've still got my favourite baby/toddler clothes from both of them!
I live 5 minutes away from black gang chine! It’s probably changed a lot since you last went but still as nostalgic as ever, and I’m sure Ottie will absolutely love it xx
Ottis gets cuter and cuter as she gets older. And she has the cutest personality!
Perfect end to my Sunday ❤
The kid's program Sarah and Duck is hilarious! super sarcastic but calm. Entertaining for the parent too!
Love you Zoey and your beautiful family ❤ xxx
My heart every time I see Nala crawl up on your lap to cuddle, it just melts me every time! ❤
I definitely recommend getting ottie a mud kitchen for the garden if she loves being outside!
can i just say?...as an ancient viewer (JOKING JEEZ) seeing you grow so much and so..just..beautifully, is soo inspiring. It gives me, truly, hope , enough to expect a better future me, as long as i keep working on me :)
i'm from the isle of wight, your love for blackgang chine is so warming xxx
I don't have kids but I work in a daycare and we always watch Wild Kratts with the kids and we all actually like it.
Padding is one of our favourites , but bluey on Disney is a new number one favourite
A dash of sunshine to my day! My favourite TH-camr ❤
She looks thrilled to have that garden house!!! ♥️♥️♥️
14:41 can i be the first to say how ADORBS your dog is! cute xD
Our little girl is just a little bit younger than Ottie but we absolutely love Paddington too! It’s such a feel good kids programme!
Love the way your ponytail looks! The hair falls so nicely❤
My son is a few weeks younger than Ottie and he loves Bluey, especially the theme tune. He also loves Hey Duggee and I actually enjoy them both!
It does make my heart warm to hear you talk about Jim and Sarah and their little daughter ❤️ as well as Tanya and her new son
I’m very nostalgic as well. When I see a movie I watched as a child or even just look at an old photo, I’m completely transported back to that time. It’s so visceral.
Was literally about to say have you seen Bluey yet 😂 Can’t believe people overseas enjoy it just as much as aussies 😊
I get bad anxiety around flying and taking my 3 year old on a plane really helped me as it gave me a focus xx
Watching this vlog is a bit bittersweet for me today. Tw because while my due date would have been around now, I was sadly injured and lost the pregnancy last year. Ottie is so sweet and cute and seeing her interact with you both is such a sweet thing for me today when part of me doesnt even want to get up
*Sarah & Duck* is a must Zoe. You will all love it. Such a lovely animated programme ❤
Also when Ottie is a bit older I think she will enjoy (and you and Alfie) *”Ben & Holly’s Magic Kingdom”* x
its actually "Ben and Holly's LITTLE Kingdom"
My niece just turned two and she’s obsessed with Bluey and I love getting to watch it with her cause it’s actually a good show!
love the chill home vlogs. only thing missing is the baking or cooking that are my favorites
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
You know what makes me nostalgic? Your videos 😪🫶🏻
Love Ottie’s Playhouse. How they’ve improved since the one used by my grandchildren. What a well kept hedge you have in your garden. Well done whoever cuts it 👏 It’s early Monday morning in Wiltshire and Sun looks like it’s trying to peek through the clouds 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Ottie is growing so fast! Felt like she was born only yesterday, you’re such a good mum Zoe ❤
It’s so funny seeing all of this clothes 😊.
My son is 2 years old now and I how four shoe boxes with clothes. One with his wool/silk bodies and thin trousers. One with his cotton tops and sweaters, one with cotton trousers and one with the bulky winter wool clothing (sweaters, dungarees, trousers). I fold them Marie Kondo style so I can see everything and it’s perfect. And although it’s not much, I recognize, that some items are not worn often…
You look fabulous with a ponytail 😍🤍
My 20 month old loves Bluey and anything Minnie Mouse also Masha. I love watching Bluey with her and my husband loves watching Masha with her lol.
Miss Nala ❤❤❤
Watch the Bluey episode “Sleepytime”, its got such a lovely story and relies on beautiful visual story telling… made me cry as a grown up lol. Bluey is just such a positive representation of young families, especially great dads like Alfie
Love hearing you talk about The Isle of Wight a family favourite of ours going two or three times a year made great memories there will always be our second home can't wait to see you there with Ottie x
Ottie is just so adorable!❤❤
