Introducing My Daughter To My Favourite Retro Toys | Vlogust Day 5

[@juliemcgonigal3992]

Just thinking about when Zoe and Alfie were talking about ottie being old enough to sit and watch Disney films and now their watching Frozen🫠(also when Zoe and ottie were watching it she looked EXACTLY like Zoe)

[@PrincessFruitbrat]

Best part of the vlog was easily Zoe learning how to cross her fingers and the amazement on her face 😁🥰

[@laurastravels4399]

Is Zoe anyone else’s mental health “go to” for coping mechanisms? She is mine and I always watch her vlogs new or old. I could be at home or on holiday. I always know they will give me the comfort I need 🩷 I’m forever grateful x x

[@lexab1912]

Can’t believe you actually found the Barbie jumper after I commented about it!💓

[@solcarlosofficial]

Did you ever watch the original Barbie movies? I bet ottie would love them! Like 12 dancing princess

[@sallyphillips9175]

Aww, I love the closeup of Ottie's little hand on your bump in the opener! So sweet.

[@ohitsjean]

Toys from our time are way way better. Watching this brings back childhood memories.

[@meaganezell]

the part with alfie holding ottie on the piano made me tear up because it just looked like such a perfect core memory / home video type thing. your family is so beautiful

[@jules.sbro8]

Haha the finger crossing revelation Zoe, you learn something new every day! Fantastic feel good vlog, the nostalgia of the Barbie & Polly Pocket - good times 😍🧡🥰

[@RebeccaAnneHathaway]

Feels unreal that we get 40 minute vlogs every day in the middle of the year. Thank you for dedicating so much of your time to this.

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

The nostalgia I feel with those Barbies and pollypockets , it’s so cute to see Ottie loving it xx

[@Maisiejaesouthern]

I have been watching you from the very beginning, since I was a young teen and the fact I now have a 6 year old daughter that enjoys watching you and your daughter/family just as much as me melts my heart! Shes always asking "Can we watch Ottilie Mammy?" and it's just the best. We curl up on the sofa and watch you and your family go through life and making memories and it's just so lovely and we cannot wait to see all the exciting times ahead with your next little bundle of joy arriving soon🤍🤍

[@shannonmoyes224]

Otties vocabulary is absolutely amazing for her age! What a clever little toot ❤

[@wateloon5185]

Zoe and Ottie watching the Frozen was the cutest thing ever OMG

[@noanieuwenkamp1348]

I’m actually crying tears of laughter because of Zoe’s realisation about the “fingers crossed” 😂😂😂

[@jesssnellx]

In the best way - Ottie has the soul of a sweet old man 🥹 the way she speaks and her mannerisms are so Zoe but such cute grandad behaviour

[@courtney8049]

DYING at Ottilie saying ‘Mummy’ with the troll 😂 god bless her!!

[@taylorflopera]

Ottie is so smart!! She is going to be the best teacher to new baby 🥲🥲

[@Maria_xoxoxo]

Currently my favorite part of the day is to watch the vlogs! Been refreshing every few minutes this past hour ❤

[@adelaide100]

6:48 watching Zoe’s reaction to Ottie…. My heart melts… ♥️🥺 she is a great mom 🥺

[@MoreGraceJohansson]

The look to the camera after Ottie said it sounded like Alfie when he sings I actually laughed out loud😂😭

[@Jenzzyuk]

I loved Seeing Ottie Playing the Piano with Alfie 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sharethecolour4]

I had the Edwardian house book and loved it as a child. Didn’t even realise I had forgotten the memory until I saw it. So much nostalgia.

[@carmen-22]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Zoe you are an amazing singer!!!

[@vallee3140]

Ottie is at the best age, so much fun, you are such perfect parents, she is far advanced for her age.

[@A88-p5e]

I treasured my baby blanket up until I was about 10. I didn't have a 'teddy' or a toy that I was really attached to, just blankie! I literally used it every night until I fell asleep and it always made me feel so safe. So I think that's an amazing gift ❤

[@akalilblu]

My mum gave my daughter some of my actual toys. Its so strange seeing them play with your memories. My daughter is also the spitting image of me so its like looking back in time some days. You looked lovely and you are allowed to be tired. Growing a human is bloody hard work and adding daily vlogs and full time mumming along side life in general i think you are amazing. Thankyou so much. I am really loving my own mum time watching them at the end of the day. XXX

[@tammibaybii]

Oh my gosh memory unlocked! I love the traditional edwardian house book, I remember having one in the 90s (32 now) I'm so old 😂😂 xx

[@aniramos22]

Sundays aren’t Sundays without a Zoe Vlog. Simply THE BEST…love you Zoe! 💗

[@bexparslow]

The PO haul is so nostalgic to me! Please include more, I used to love your long PO Box opening videos ❤❤

[@Sarahr98998]

This is giving old-school Zoe vlogs and it's so comforting!! I'm about to go have a binge of some of my favorite older vlogs

[@hettieadams9958]

Just started my placement year and no one else is about. Just me, myself and I! So, it is honestly my ultimate fav thing to have a little bit of the 'Zoella' childhood comfort at the end of every day.

[@RinaOvcharenko]

Wow, that book with the Edwardian house is sick! I would have loved to have one as a kid!!!

[@anyapokolova4656]

All the cutest and adorable moment of Zoe, Alfie and Ottie make me feel that I need to have a baby immediately 🤣

[@kianaleilani]

Haha! "Jabby jabby fingers." The outro made me smile.

[@phoebehardcastle3636]

Ottie has grown up so much. Her speech is so good and clear. Where’s little baby Ottie gone 😱😢 Now she’s almost 2 and going to be a big sister 🥺🧡

[@sowmyam1627]

What a way to end the vlog. Zoe realizing how to cross the fingers was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@joeups72]

😂😂😂😂 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞that cracked me up!!! Also the failed puddle hunting excursion! I could hear Zoe’s concern as Ottie enthusiastically played with her old toys - really wanting her to enjoy them but also not wanting them broken - oh the balance!! Day 5 loving it

[@fragilefleur]

We had a fairy house book that opened up like that and it was amazing and a battle to keep it from being pulled apart by little hands. The still around 7:22 time stamp of you singing and Ottie on your shoulder all cozy was epic mom and daughter painting moment. You both are bonding so hard on Frozen and relaxed smiles on both are like cherubs. I love this video so much.

[@marynharris4375]

That book doll house just brought back a memory I didn’t even remember I had!!

[@fairyfayebr]

Just this second finished today's vlog from Alfie and then I see this! ♡ This daily content is making me so so happy

[@linzertube]

This was a lovely day of walking in the rain, and playing with favourite retro toys with your little daughter. When you next play with the old toys, put on some retro music, too. It always blows my mind when my kids would sing songs from when we (the adults) were young. Sleep well, Ottie, Zoe and Alfie. Nighty-nite!

[@libbypearman907]

Can’t believe how much ottie looks like you in this vlog!!

[@treblehearts]

these vlogs give me so much serotonin. my comfort channel indeed! also so lovely to hear you’re in touch with jim :)

[@dannievig]

I forgot how great Zoe’s voice is singing!!! the sofa with ottie watching frozen was THE CUTEST. everything you once talked about.. isn’t it crazy 😊 and fuzzy felt!!!!! what a throwback

[@michelle_mitch_p]

The nostalgia was so heart warming. My children played with my toys and now my grandchildren do. They love them more than modern toys. Along with reading my original ladybird books from 1977. Xx

[@mais6630]

you know those times when you go throw old videos of your younger self and it brings so much comfort and nostalgia of life back then. your videos give me that same exact feeling, i can’t explain it. every video is like an episode of everyday life, growing up, spending time with family and friends and the waves of life. i absolutely love that about your videos and that’s what makes them so unique compared to others. you’ll forever be my comfort youtuber🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@meganwright7181]

I love all these daily videos - I have just qualified as a teacher so I start my first teaching post in September. It’s so nice to have these to see me through the long summer holidays🩷 Thank you!!!!

[@m.m.barton-howe]

My daughter's 1-year-old next month and she's got so much of my stuff from when I was small. Toys, clothes, books etc. The clips of Ottilie with the toys you used to play with were just so lovely! 💕

[@emersonpaige4239]

even after watching your channel for 11 years, getting the notification that you posted a new video brings me the most joy! YAY for vlogust :)

[@oumaimabkl]

You guys starting the vlog with Alfie and Ottie’s hands on Zoe’s tummy is the most peaceful and serene thing I have watched today. It gave me such an inner peace and joy, I wish you could feel it as I write these words… ❤

[@georgiwoodley391]

Hello! I currently work at lululemon and never wear bras but some of the high support bras are sooooo SOFT that I think you’d love them, some of them come in the regular us sizes but others come in cup sizes and so many people rave about them, should defo give them a go! xx

[@autistichloedisneyfan4415]

So sweet Ottie and do happy to see you everyday

[@lewisjaffray.403]

These videos come out in Tasmania, Australia during the night so I have really enjoyed having a video to watch everyday with my breakfast. Today I am not feeling well so I have just woken up and I am watching in bed with a cup of tea. Thanks for brightening my day.

[@SquishSquish]

This is my fave vid from vlogust so far!! I LOVE watching the cosy stay at home days. There's something very nostalgic about them and i just know Ottie is going to love watching these when shes older ❤

[@shannonkatemcglynn95]

Seeing you watching frozen with your baby girl just made me tear up, I dream of doing this one day. ❤

[@Dah230]

1:13 would be such a lovely photo 🥹

[@shannonwootton9219]

Iv gone through so many things in life. Ups & downs and the only thing that hasn't changed in so many years is zoe being my comfort person. All they way from her starting KZbin to now. I will always feel safe here x

[@Danielle0498]

Those fuzzy felts have just unlocked such a core memory for me 🥺I used to love my polly pockets too and my barbies I still have them all hoping my little girl will love them just as much when she’s older 😌🩷

[@vnherr]

Watching your vlog with my daughter has become so full circle. I was in the thick of my fertility journey when you announced your pregnancy w Ottie and I was so happy for you but so sad for me. Since then I’ve given birth to a beautiful baby girl and now we’re both just thriving living our best mommy lives. So excited for baby 2 and has made me realize that I want my second once my 1st is almost 2 as well!

[@elliebethduncan]

I just got so much nostalgia from the Edwardian house pop up book & the fuzzy felt! Me and my sister have been sending each other pictures of toys from our childhood (Barbie kick-started it off) we used to play with as kids saying we really hope they're up in our loft to share them with any of our future kids. I loved this so much 💚

[@thehoo999]

Oh my god!! The cardboard dolls house book thingy!! Literally one of my favourite things that I ever owned. I can remember every detail of that house. Thank you for the memory! I must find it so that I can introduce my two daughters to it. If they break it though...adoption. They also both love all of my old Polly Pockets. It makes my heart so happy to see them enjoy them as much as I did! 💜

[@alija2992]

I had lots of Polly Pockets from the fleemarket as a child, my fav was the big fairy diamant. Thanks for this cosy vlog, vlogust is just the best!! ❤

[@AllyZulr]

Hi Zoe! I just wanted to drop by and express how much of a fan I am of yours. It's been an incredible journey following you for over 10 years, all the way from Malaysia! Seeing you grow from your early days, even before dating Alfie, to now having a beautiful baby named Ottie, fills my heart with happiness. I will never get bored of your content including Alfie, I've subscribed to Alfie more than 10 years too! (if youre reading this Alfie, Hi

[@katiac9612]

Currently going through a tough time (mental health wise) and feeling alone ..so Zoe's vlogs are the best therapy. Thank you Zoe, you have no idea of the impact you have ❤ you are just the best. Thank you ❤ (from Switzerland)

[@laurensvlogs5790]

omg the doll house book! I had that as a child, My sister and I use to play with it with our grandpa.

[@bbykc444]

I LOVED that Edwardian doll house as a child, I played with it every time I visited my Nan and granddads. It’s still at their house to this day

[@sarahm8652]

I had polly pockets as a kid too, and both my nieces loved playing with them when they were younger. Polly pockets just don’t go out of fashion…. But the old school polly pockets… like the ones you had Zoe.

[@LadyTressa]

My paternal grandmother started teaching me piano when i was 3. I bet Ottily would love to learn. I then learned the flute in 2nd grade and guitar in 3rd.

[@Sammylparker]

Aww it's lovely to see Ottie's understanding of the new baby 🥰 watched you for years and grew up with you so it's great to see you grow an cute family x

[@mollyfids]

Those felt people unlocked a memory I’ve not thought of for over 25 years!! Love you guys so much x

[@victoriabennett256]

Aw fuzzy felts! I had the hospital and the circus ones, I want to dig them out of my parent's cupboards now... So much nostalgia!

[@verityhumby3310]

So gonna do that too to my children thank you for the idea to show future children our toys when we were kids and her saying mummy is so cute ❤

[@Emilyc13]

Fuzzy Felt!!! Omg as soon as you said it i could instantly remember the feeling of it on my fingers. Old toys were the best!

[@tzeyingn]

Hi Zoe, i was one of your followers since like 1x years ago. And only recently when you started Vlogust, i found them so stress-relieving specially I just got laid-off and in my job hunting period. I always start feeling anxious like the day or hours before any interview at the point that my hands go shaky and heart pace go faster. I have just finished all my interviews for today and now come to you video. It is like go back to my comfort zone and It recharges my mood instantly and I feel totally relaxed! Just wanna say thank you and can't wait to watch more vlogust videos in this month during this difficult period for me. XOXO from Hong Kong :)

[@MarieLifeInWords]

The toys, fuzzy felts and the book, such a throwback, loving Vlogust❤❤❤

[@tabithasdiary]

I am loving vlogust atm! Also Ottie is adorable! :)

[@linadams1965]

I had that exact doll house book! My sister and I used to play with it for soooo long.

[@ladybird1237]

My granddaughter plays with my daughters stretch kids and loves putting on their clothes . Also polly pockets so many different ones Disney castles and cars . She also loves my daughters farm from early learning you could buy each animal from small to large ( horses, goats and cows ) so lovely watching her play with them all. Omg we just found the pop up house was looking on Pinterest to see if we could find more people ,as some were very worn out . Enjoy your time together xx

[@parmavi2]

I have never seen anyone else with that Edwardian book house! I absolutely loved that growing up, also had an Alice in Wonderland one that popped out too. The nostalgia 😍

[@isabellai9230]

I remember that video of you and joe going through your old toys! That video is the one I always go back to when I have major anxiety or a panic attack because it is one that always manages to calm me down❤ it reminds me of when me and my older sister go through our older toys, although ours aren’t nearly as cool because I’m only 20 so we didn’t have any of the cool retro small Polly pockets or Barbie’s we had the newer versions from the 2000s, but it is still fun looking through them! I love seeing Ottie playing with your old toys, she is so cute, I am purposely saving mine from when I was younger for when I have kids one day! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@sophiev.m5148]

Ottilie really is incredibly bright for her age. I find her fascinating to watch! (I'm a mum to a nearly 1 year old and a teacher with early years specialism)

[@martine-sofiedahl4603]

I just love your videos. I've been following you since 2016 and I'm in such a good mood when I see you've posted a new video. I have your videos in the background all the time for comfort. I don't feel so alone watching your videos. ❤❤❤

[@miamay2444]

That moment when alfie and ottie were playing the piano was just so heartwarming ❤ what lovely moments you guys are capturing for ottie to look back on when she's older x

[@kaylaslone5965]

Ottilie playing with the Barbies & Polly Pockets & loving them makes my 90s baby heart so happy 🥰

[@ZoeJoycex]

I miss all of the 90s toys! my absolute fav was baby all gone - I can still smell the cherries!

[@pvssyfairyyyy]

Been watching you since I was a teen…it’s been amazing watching you flourish and become a mommy❣️ love you and your little family💞💞

[@kathrynb8677]

Zoe and Alfie I can’t even explain how happy it makes me watching you and Ottie. She is so cute, funny and chatty and just makes me smile! You are great parents ❤x

[@sydoverson6499]

Ottie's curls are to DIE FOR. She is the cutest, truly. I catch myself smiling at the things she says and your adorable family dynamic. You guys are just so sweet :)

[@chloesullivan.jpg777]

I love that you guys found out about the crossed fingers thing now before Ottie or one of the kids doing it the other way in front of Allie and him being so confused. Those moments are the best

[@katieharknett1563]

Wow all them toys I forgot about. Nostalgia is a feeling.

[@livviegirl14]

Wow I used to have the exact same paper doll house. What a crazy memory unlocked.

[@AshP199]

That book dollhouse is a memory unlocked! 😍

[@paperviewcrafting6479]

You can now buy Polly’s like the old ones in stead of the bigger ones. I say bring back Teeny Weeny Families 😊. We still have those sets that were our children’s and now my granddaughter plays with them. It’s so special to see ❤

[@leonieyeah]

The Edwardian pop-up house brought back so many memories! 🥲 I’m 32 so we have very similar childhood toys! Xx

[@oceanair_]

Omg that poo up house brings back such nostalgia. I had that as a kid 🥹🥹🥹

[@Lauradarkeo]

My 2 year old absolutely loves Polly pockets. She really loves Slyvanian Families too!

[@rebecca7719]

omg!! fuzzy felts!!! I had one set that was fimbles characters and I used to spend HOURS making my own little scenes with them! I totally forgot about them until I saw Ottie playing with them!! Was so lovely to see Ottie enjoying the things I grew up playing with 💕

[@betheatspizza4690]

I had the pop-up dollhouse! Core memory unlocked!!

[@sharonevans6261]

It was so sweet to see Ottie playing with the retro toys. It is the best thing to see your children playing with the same toys we did❤
