A Fresh Start To 2023 (Essentially A Chatty Podcast) | ad

good morning, happy new year, you join me in a slightly different place. I don't know if I ever filmed from this angle. We're currently in the dressing room and I thought it's the only other place in the house with similar lighting that we missed. I spoke in December, they were vlogmas. I had a great time doing it this year. You guys loved it, the feedback was amazing so just another thank you for that and then over Christmas and New Year we spent a lot of time relaxing as a family. It has been regular. Lovely, I had also completely forgotten that my camera was broken until I put a new battery in it, put it on a tripod, turned the screen up and the screen tilted, so after filming this clip I'll be connecting to Internet and I'm going to order a new camera, so first, how are you?

It's January, it's a new year, it's

2023

, my goodness, where is the weather good? Obviously I'm going to put on my makeup while I talk to you. In fact, I'm putting on makeup. a little bit different and you all are going to think it's not too wild but it is a little bit different. I'm going to use the Fenty Beauty Pro Soft Matte Longwear Foundation with Filter and then use the Fenty Beauty Foundation Brush as well. What was he saying? Yes, how was your Christmas? How was your New Year? um and what has the beginning of

2023

been like for you.

Have you made any resolutions? Something you do is something you actively avoid. I feel like some years I really lean in. in setting goals and making resolutions and other years I think uh it's not just another day it's just another day nothing is different you can't ask me I feel like last year maybe the year before was a little like me no I don't really enjoy the New Year , which is very different to me because I love celebrating everything, but New Year's just isn't my favorite, it's just an indicator that time is kind of disappearing and I find that I really like it.

Destroys the soul. I'm like no, another year gone, where does the time go? I don't know, I think maybe I think about all the things I couldn't do. Did I really make the most of this year? I think maybe my mind tends to be stagnant. a bit negative at that time of year which is really frustrating and I've tried many times to change that and be a bit more positive and I know a lot of people feel the same way in a new year, maybe you've lost people. That year things just haven't been a great year for you or things haven't gone the way you wanted and I feel like at the end of a year is when you really think a lot about things like someone with quite an overthinking mind.

Just no, just Yeah, I'm just not having a very good time. Having said that we had a wonderful evening, we had a winning night with the family so it was nice, I usually just go to bed don't I? It's just not as fun this year. I feel like I wanted to change things up a little bit and you're going to have to bear with me because there's going to be a lot of talk about this. It's like a real first video, guys. I'm just using a little bit of my Perfection Long Lasting Concealer Collection in the shade Cashew, so I'm going to

start

with a little background just for those of you who might be new here or just getting you

start

ed.

I've been doing this since I was 19 years old. I'll be 33 this year, but that's a long, long time and obviously not all of those years, this has been successful or in some way been a job, or you know anything. continue making a career um actually it started really not like that at all and I made my blog when I started in 2008 so I was 18 when I started my blog and I was 19 when I started making videos. back then it was just something I really enjoyed doing, it was quite a new concept, you won't read that a lot of people were doing it, it was like this really lovely community of people who really enjoyed talking about makeup and sharing makeup and I thought I loved it. makeup I love talking about the things I'm passionate about and I really felt like there was a void in my life for something I was really passionate about.

I was in several different jobs. I didn't enjoy what I was doing in the When I started my blog, I think I was unemployed when I started my blog. I had just been laid off from my second job, I think, and I was very lost. I didn't really know what I enjoyed. I did not do it. I really knew what I wanted to do. I didn't go to UNI like a lot of my friends had, so I think I felt a little lost and abandoned and I didn't really know what I enjoyed doing, so I think blogging was kind of like getting started and I was like, I'll start a blog. .

I will make a blog. I'm definitely not brave enough to make videos, so I did and it was a lot of fun. I would like to publish pop blog posts. and sharing them on Twitter and you know, leaving comments on other people's blogs and I felt like it was something that was really going to take off, there was no real evidence of it. I don't think anyone was at that time. doing it as a job, I think even the Pixie Woo sisters were still working on Mac um and it was like a side thing to share their makeup tips um I'm saying the sisters in the photo are salmon so it's like no one was really doing it like a job hadn't turned into a career, but I had this feeling that if I kept at it and built this community of people, there would be something there, like I couldn't tell you what that something was going to be, but I just had a feeling, so I kept going and it wasn't until 2012, after I had been doing my blog for four years and I had been making videos for three years, that I really started making money for myself and that was the point where I was like, "Okay "I think I'm going to put everything into this as a job." I have no idea what the longevity will be.

I have no idea how long people might be interested in what I have to say. I enjoy this. so much and eventually it became my job. I'm going to try to continue putting on makeup. In fact, I just realized I'm supposed to be getting ready too. I'm just using a little bit of the Nars concealer too. I feel like I'm taking you on a little trip to the past. I'm so sorry if this is the 4,000th time you're hearing this story, yeah, 2012 and I'm like, wow, this is crazy, I'm actually living the dream. actually it's not really 2012, I would say 2013 when everything that was in my mind exploded.

I think I hit a million subscribers in 2013. There were all these opportunities flying around, um, it was crazy, it was like it was beyond my wildest dreams, expectations beyond anything I could ever do. I thought it would happen um and everything was still very, very new and I think you get into this mentality of and I think I still have this mentality, what is where we are going with this. I must take advantage of these opportunities because I don't know. how long this will last and I still feel that way now, a little bit like it's still a pretty unpredictable career in that sense, it's still very new in the grand scheme of things, this mentality that I had when I was 20, like basically when I was 20 years, yes I'm totally honest with you, you don't know how long this is going to last, make the most of it, take what makes sense to you, obviously I didn't take advantage of every opportunity, if things didn't make sense to me, I was still like now that really it doesn't make much sense there were almost so many things that I wanted to do or was lucky enough to have the opportunity to do that I was taking everything that made sense, which was still a lot of things um and I'm just trying because in the back of my mind was: no You know how long this is going to last.

I feel like I managed to do so many things when I was 20 that I like, sometimes I don't even feel like it was me. I look back and think, oh yeah, I did that, oh my god, yeah, that's crazy to me or like someone reminds me of something and I'll be like, oh my god, yeah, I totally forgot, that was the best. time, the busiest time, I wouldn't change it for the world, however, I think it was a lot. I don't think it will ever sink in, maybe when I'm an old woman and look back, I don't know. now I'm adding some Chanel cream bronzer anyway, when I'm 30, we're in a global pandemic, my priorities change not only because of the pandemic, however I feel like the pandemic affected how I felt about my life and I think about That moment when I had to pause more definitely made me think more about the next 10 years, not just the pandemic, but Alfie and I said, you know, we want to start a family, this is the decade in the one we want to have children and we want you to know it.

More kind of family approach I guess before I know it I'm 32. And I've been at it for two years and I'm like, "This is going fast, it's really going fast, just blush here, lovely, the blush I'm using." by the way, it's the rare rare beauty blush. I hope you have this pretty old-fashioned way of thinking about work and it worked really well for me when I was 20. I just don't know if I can maintain that mentality and at the same time have a family and I think some people certainly can and I don't know how they do it.

I admire anyone who can do that and has found a really good balance between work and life at full capacity, but I think I need to calm down, that 20 year old girl is like wanting to do all the things and let 30 year old Zoe, but I think there are slightly different things, I think she just does it and I think that's what I've realized, letting her have it. her time let her just be a mom and not do all the projects all the time be okay with that and not feel like a failure I think that's the part of me that I struggle with just because I'm not doing that many things or that many huge projects at one time. different time and I need to relax into that and that's what I discovered at the end of last year.

I thought why am I trying to do it all. I had a huge project, a huge and exciting project. An amazing project we are doing. I had worked really hard on it and it was scheduled to be released at the end of the year and we were getting a little behind and I had this revelation of why I believe, why I think I can do it all, why? I think now is the time for this. Can I really put the effort and passion behind this that I would have done when I was 24? No, no, I can't because I have a little girl and one day she'll be in school or she'll be older and I won't get this time back where she's that little and she's still at home with me and that I'm lucky to have. a job where I can choose my hours so I can be with her as much as I can.

I'm not going to get that back, so why am I trying to do all the projects and really be present in that moment? Because I can't, I can't do it all. Basically, I've figured it out guys. Simply put, I can't do everything. I have wanted to be a mother all my life. My only real goal is to be a mom and I just realized I left my eyeshadow palette down. I don't want to, I just don't want to miss this. I don't want to miss this part because I'm thinking about new big projects that will take a lot of my time and energy, and I want to be excited about those things and I want to be able to do them to the best of my ability and I don't think now is the time and also agree That doesn't mean I failed, it doesn't mean the project is never going to happen, it just means it's not now, it's just that now is not the right time, oh, I'm using Aviv, uh, I have a wand in solar bronze, which is beautiful.

I think there have been things over the years where I've liked a second place. I guessed things or didn't follow my instincts or stopped at something and then got really worried about it was the right decision I should have made, if I hadn't. I think it's very easy to reflect on things. Like this for a long time and this time I just say no, that's the right decision. I'm happy with her. I am very happy with that decision. Maybe it's a 30s thing. I don't know, but it just feels like it. This time it is very different.

I also think there is so much power in following your gut on things like you know you are better than anyone else, you know your own path and only you can decide what it is. Should I put on some black eyeliner? a little bit a lot that I haven't done I haven't made a movie in a long time. Should I try it? This is the Vive Power Ink Liner. Very quickly I realized that I can't talk and do this at the same time. I'm just not used to it. to see me with a winged eyeliner, right, I'm going to use The Hourglass unlocked mascara, you know what?

I'm going to do my brows quickly and continue doing my brows with Anastasia Beverly Hill brow pomade, filled in brows for another What I made the decision to put a little pin in and stop for now for the time being, as long as it's the website from Zoella, obviously I started the Zoella website in 2008, this is where the whole Zoella thing came from, it was my written blog. Where I'd go I'd write down my little reflections and things I enjoyed and my car boot sale purchases who's been here since then I feel like you guys deserve a medal if you've been here since then Vlogs just got fancier, everyone nice After updating their cameras, everything became a little more professional.

I tried to keep up, but I feel like I was never very good at keeping up with my blog. If I'm being totally honest, it was definitely something I posted when I had that kind of thing. I really wanted to write a post that was different from me making thesevideos, for example, and I think over the years blogs have really changed and grown and adapted a lot more than I think video has and obviously grown to what it is. Now there are multiple different posts and many different angles and things to look at and I'm very proud of that website and all the resources and all the useful information for people and all the talk about sex toys and women's health and wellness and all the taboo topics that women often don't talk about or feel they can talk about and I am very proud of what that website really achieved, however I felt it was time for it to have a break and yes the website will remain there, It will stay there, it has so many amazing posts and very useful information, but there will be nothing new at the moment, which I know many of you read the website and appreciate.

Thank you so much for your support over the years and who knows, maybe in the next few years I'll repost my little musings there, but for now it just wanted me to focus on other things and it just felt right. It's impossible to move on for a lot of people, it might feel like you're starting 2023 in a pretty negative way, like you've taken a break from a big exciting project, like you've taken a break from Zoella and I definitely had to. I've had moments where I've certainly had moments where I'm making the right decision, but I still always fall back on yes, I am.

I know it in my heart. I know this is the right thing to do. The year is going to be simpler, easier, more family focused and I just want to see what happens. I just want to see what happens. I want to continue working with the brands I love. I want to continue making videos. but I also want to be a mother and feel good and not guilty, it is something so complicated. I feel like any of you watching this are either self-employed or working full time. I think anyone who combines a career with motherhood. It's such a tricky thing to navigate and I have to say I found it a lot harder to navigate than I thought.

I thought that being in the fortunate position I'm in would mean it would be a lot easier because I'm a bit of making my own decisions about it and choosing when to work and when not to work, but it actually felt a bit like most days I was giving everything a mediocre percentage like I didn't, I never felt like it I was giving work my full attention when I was there and I didn't feel like I was giving Otie my full attention when I wasn't there because I was thinking about work and big things projects and is a mental field as mental as Minefield. and I don't know if it's something I'll ever feel like I have the right balance of, but this is the year I'm going to try really hard.

I also have this strange feeling and I don't know. If any of you feel the same, I feel like when I work I'm accomplishing things and I think with parenthood you don't always feel like you're accomplishing, but you're working just as hard and I saw this as really nice. I quoted the other day that on the days when you feel like you've reached the end of the day, you feel like you haven't done anything because you've been at home with your hair up and no bra, as if spending the day with your toddler is having a particularly difficult day and you get to the end of the day and you're like someone says oh what have you done today and you're like nothing when you're a parent? never anything, everything you have done, every decision you have made, every meal, you have prepared, every little thing you have said, read or done with your child, whether with little or a lot of effort, you have done so much and I think that Sometimes I understand it. in this mental space where with work I always feel like I'm doing a lot and I'm accomplishing a lot and it's more tangible, I guess, and sometimes with parenting it feels the opposite, even though that's not the case, so if any of you you guys I needed to achieve that, so I hope I helped.

I'm going to put this on this is the Vive peach lip definer. 2023 is going to be a good year, um, and I'm changing my priorities slightly and I feel good about that and I want to. pat myself on the back more for the fatherhood side of my life because it's very easy to feel like you've accomplished something when it's work related and equally very easy to not give yourself the credit you deserve for being a father and This year I want to try to give myself a little more credit on the parenting side and I'm also going to use Bare Minerals Hydra Mineralized Smoothing Lipstick Imbalance.

One thing that is always a constant that makes me very happy is the sense of community and the people who were there when I started my blog in 2008 and the people who accompanied me on the journey when I was 20 or the people who disappeared when I was 20 but they're back now in my 30s, as if that constant sense of community means I've never felt like I used to. I started my blog because I feel like I'm going to start crying oh God 30 Zoe is much more emotional than 20 Zoe is that I don't feel I don't feel like that lost 18 year old girl who doesn't know what she wants to do and doesn't know where fit in and has anxiety and no one understands and I don't feel that way thanks to you and the people who read the blog and bought the books and came to the events and so that's something that is the best thing about this, the best thing about all this is the support and the community and it's just so unique like it's a unique situation to be in um and it's just amazing, it's just It's just great, it's really great and I think over Christmas last year I had a lot of reflections on that.

The community is the special part that is like the heart and that is why so many people have been doing this for a long time. time I can almost guarantee you that I speak for them, but I can almost guarantee you that that is why people love to do this without the community, it is not the same and it is like the acceptance and the feeling of being a part of something and finding people who they feel the same way as you and they like to feel like you're able to give peace of mind or help others in some way um just doing this like it's cool anyway i thought this was going to make me up and say it was okay yeah like that I made some changes in 2023, but here we go, good afternoon.

Two things just got delivered, so I'm really excited. One is a new camera I'm currently using, so I remembered to order it after the last clip. I've seen two of my Hello Fresh box now. Some of you may have seen me talking about Hello Fresh before or maybe even Alfie because we both love it and use Hello Fresh all the time, but I feel like in January after Christmas it feels even more so. It's nice to get back into the routine of cooking and control it a little more and I feel like this is the perfect time now if you're new to Hello Fresh, they're a meal kit company so they give you everything you need. you need to cook quickly, easily and without stress, without waste, you receive all the ingredients for the specific meal you have chosen in these little bags that you can keep in the refrigerator, it just makes your life very, very easy in the UK.

Hello,

fresh

, you have 37 different meal options. every week and we just go to the app and choose them that way, it's really very simple, you have different categories, like quick, family or vegetarian meals, totally depending on what you like to eat the most. Alfie and I try to stick to things. that we're all going to love aunt included or things that are very, very quick because in the evenings we just don't have time unless it's the weekend, so I feel like we like to do a little longer one, but generally speaking it What we like the most are fast foods, this week's recipes are crispy chicken tacos, blue cheese, onion and sun-dried tomato.

Panini, which I think is what I'm going to make today because it's lunch time. Otti is taking a nap. I'm absolutely hungry and. This looks like the perfect lunch treat, rosemary chicken with P risotto and rigatoni and slow roasted tomatoes, so we have a good mix for the week. You can also choose how many people you want your meals to be served, so obviously we select two, but you. you can choose how many of you are in your home you can choose when it is delivered when it is most convenient for you basically it makes cooking and life so much simpler one of the things I always like to add is that it teaches you how to cook because I'm not a great cook and hello

fresh

makes me feel like I am because the recipes are super easy to follow and once you've learned how to do simple things like making tomato sauce or things that you do often from recipe to recipe um you just learn about the march I really think I've learned to cook more with Hello Fresh recipes than anywhere else in my life, even good old food Tech food Tech basically taught me how to make sausage braids and pastries, but Hello Fresh actually teaches you how cook the food, okay, so I have my recipe card and my bag, let's cook, okay, so the first thing we're going to do is make some fries, which I have to say I don't really do that often. and they are supposed to be very easy to make.

I'm going to go wash my potatoes and then chop them. Electricity of olive oil, salt, pepper. Okay, I'll put them in oven number two in the meantime, I'll cut. tomato in 1cm pieces add to a medium bowl with the balsamic glaze and olive oil for the dressing guys you know me. I am a big lover of balsamic glaze. Oh, season with salt and pepper. A little dried tomato. Grated hard cheese. I hope this serves them. everything a little bit of sandwich at lunch time and then a little bit of mayonnaise two tablespoons of mayonnaise. It would never occur to me to do this. add mozzarella, drain the mozzarella and pat it dry with kitchen paper, making sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible and then break it into pieces.

I'm not saying that either of them were cut particularly evenly, but here we go, okay, spread Sun Dry to mix on both cut sides, we have the overachabata onion jam base and then we top with mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. olive in a fried ham over medium heat to High heat, now it says transfer to a baking sheet and place on the center shelf of the oven for six to seven minutes while we finish and cool. I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to share with you. the amazing offer that Hola Fresh has for any of you who see this and might be interested in subscribing you can use my code cooking with Zoe which I'll put here but you can also find it in the description box so make sure you go and verify.

Please note that if you are in the UK and haven't tried hellofresh before but feel now is the perfect opportunity then you can get 60 off your first box and 25 off your next two boxes which I think is very cool , if you haven't been using your hellofresh account for the last three months and want to reactivate it, perhaps because it's January 2023, you just paused it for a while. You can also use my code for that which will give you 50 off your first bill. box and 25 of the next two boxes and like hello cool I didn't want you to miss out if you're not in the UK the discount code is available to use worldwide with different discounts depending on where you are in the world, I think.

It's a really good deal, definitely check it out, it's a complete lifesaver for us in this house, okay I think the paninis are done, we've had a little slip here, let's get it back, oh my goodness, they look so good, look at my mozzarella chips it's like oozing out and it looks so good and we're done look at this that not only looks so amazing okay we'll sit down and enjoy our lunch now um but like I said if you want to see it hello , cool. for the first time reactivate or are you anywhere else in the world and you can use my code cooking with zoe to go and get an amazing amazing deal look at the mozzarella oozing out Mommy has glasses on and you're confused she's pointing I like to move on right, right? which one do you want?

Elf. I have a wisdom tooth at the dentist appointment next week. It hurts a lot today. um guys I'm just checking in to say this is so delicious I almost ate the entire ciabatta. It's very good. Hey, I also like the rocket we're going to the beach with, so I think it's charming. I think it would be a shame if I didn't like it. Imagine that the weather really isn't good tomorrow or Sunday. The height is gone. Otie Artie artsy oh. she is where did the snake go? Dad has a short look because the sun is in her eyes if she looks oh you need your little sunglasses where they are Stone show Dad wow thank you oh can you see wheat this time so you can see what we have? go down to the sea go down to the beach oti uh she didn't like the sea touching her shoes even though they are waterproof she didn't enjoy it at all which is totally the opposite of how she was when we went to Cornwall she loved it being in the sea, um, so yeah, that didn't go very well, was it having a snack?

I want to be proud, no, I don't think she's going to be careful, that was supposed to be before, yeah, no, how much could you dedicate yourself to surfing? We never know, definitely not. I think you want her to be a lot like you when she was a kid, but I think she might be a little like me when she waslittle girl. Maybe he is not automated. Well, you love swimming. Yeah, I mean, the sea is pretty scary when I really don't understand why it does that, you know what I mean? I'm going to eat your snack Ben, did you see him say yes, that's enough?

I'm surprised that she knows that she's still an apple even when she's not a solid round. Apple who says you can't get ice cream on the beach when it's January there are no rules about it it's actually a very mild day there's no wind it feels great I'm actually not cold at all what's teething she'll have a little a little lovely ice cream, what flavors did you choose? delicious um so I'm excited to have some of that honestly.perfect afternoon it's so nice outside mmm oh my teeth are very sensitive which one is which one is the one above Biscoff bought the kindergarten I feel like this is a very good combo I want to try some more yes please oh it's so cute you like it Take it off yeah what did you say?

There you are going to smoke, are you ready? Oh, it's so nice on your gums, it's so nice on your teeth, beep, beep, my hand is like it's freezing one more bag, please, of course, you'll be up all night. I have a little more, would you say good girl? Honestly, she was so lovely. I don't remember the last time we did that. I think the last time we came to Beach Huts was when we met your family. Well, that was a long time ago, yes. When I first moved to Brighton my lapel was on the beach so Alfie and I used to make the most of weather like this and literally went for walks along the seafront all the time, more than once a day.

Yes, we loved it. Now that we don't live so close to the sea, we don't do it as often, but we should because it doesn't take long to get here and it's so nice that it's one of the many reasons I moved. to Brighton firstly and I really enjoy living here, away from the beach, and now I'm taking Nana for a walk. One of the things I really want to do in 2023 is just get out more, rain or shine. I feel like when the weather isn't so good I tend to go out at all I don't put on my wellies I don't put on my waterproof jacket I'm not going out but I really want to try to banish that, what does that say that there is no such thing? like bad weather, just bad, bad clothes, bad prepared, I don't know, but rain or shine, I really want to try to get out more, even if it's just a little 10 minute walk, um, yeah, it's good for the soul and the mind. basically because I grew up in the countryside I think that's where I feel the most I don't know at peace I'm kind of happy and I just feel very relaxed like I'm going through a bit of a difficult time or I feel a bit stressed or a bit anxious I just feel like going out, it instantly makes me feel so much better.

I think that's why I also love it when I couch to 5K every time I start it and then give up when it gets going. difficult one of these days I'm going to go all the way really I will but yes I love being outside it's good for me good for my mind having said that it's much easier to find the time in spring and summer because the days feel much longer and we have more light. This time of year it's a bit like you really only have that little window in the day before the day starts and when the day ends like it does now, I think it's a quarter past four. maybe even later, actually maybe even half past four.

I feel like it's going to be a really nice sunset tonight. In fact, I think it was during covid and the lockdowns where we could only go out for that kind of walk a day, which became part of like our routine and became a habit um and I know for a lot of people it's probably already part of his routine and habit, but yes, I really enjoyed that time of the day when we went for a walk and yes. I just want to do it more, what are you trying to do a little more of this year or a little less?

But it's always good to start a new year with a little bit of I don't know change, eh, setting the goal. It's like the fun part and then you realize you have to keep going anyway. I hope you're all having a good start in 2023 if you need a little motivation to get out there. I hope this helped you or if I'm watching this on the couch, which you're probably on, or in bed, stay there, but I'm having the right hat hair day, right, mom's bun is in full force. I like short hair that needs to grow, so I'm in Otti's room.

Don't really take off the harness now that you've had dinner because I want to move her books somewhere where she's more likely to grab them because right now she's having a real time picking out her own books by coming here. taking a book off the shelf and then sitting on this chair and just like I'm going to say read, it's not read, look at the book, um, but currently the books are like on a shelf that's a little too high, oh, the battery it's running out oh god look at my makeup as you can see the bottom shelf that had a couple of toys and bits of books on the second shelf and then we have this really cute little stall it's actually from Amazon.

I think it's really cute, this thing pulls out, but it's attached so it can go up and then back up again, um, but we mainly have this for her for when she's brushing her teeth in the sink, which she can't reach yet, um, but he's been using that to get the books and I thought: why am I leaving them here? They just need to like to come here basically um and then this is a little box that my mom made and painted how cute otley 29 8 21 it's like her little jewelry box little pictures of Lapland that she made I said jewelry box, I meant memory box, um, like this which I'll probably put it somewhere else like she doesn't need to come in, that's mostly just for me, but it looks really nice on her shelf, um, and then I'll put all her books down. here instead, so she can reach them, she's fine, come on, she's much better, but now I need to sort out all the books she already checked out and there are a lot of them, so I don't know if they'll fit. maybe I need to put the slightly older books on top and then the slightly younger ones on the bottom because she has a lot of books.

I can get rid of this one now, the only book she's outgrown and these, I guess, yeah, a fun story right now. when I was sorting through his books I was like oh funny bones ah funny bones ah another funny bones we have three funny bones books um clearly a hit with a lot of people I don't remember whose Uncle Sean's I can't wait to read you my favorite book and dance with you like The Funny Bones. Oh, I still read it to him. Sean, obviously everyone loved Funny Bones. So he has three copies of that.

Oh, cops and robbers, does anyone remember this? She has some. There are very good books here. I'm so excited for when she actually wants to hear the story. We still have these. They never came back with the Christmas book, so I'll have to remember they're on her shelf, but. She was just too obsessed with them and we couldn't put them aside, she was, I mean, she's still listening to these Christmas songs, um, so there's no doubt that she's my daughter right now, foreign, here we go, Now you can at least communicate with them, but we still have many.

Hello, it's currently Sunday and I was editing the Vlog and gone are the days of vlogs where Alfie would remind me to finish my vlogs, so I'm looking. Very Sunday right now I have no makeup, I need to wash my hair and in fact I woke up this morning and couldn't move my neck. I don't know what happened, but I can't turn my neck, so I'm stiff. In fact, I am in a lot of pain. I really don't know what I've done, but I wanted to finish the video before uploading it, so while you're watching this, oh my god, I actually can't move.

While you're watching this, it's currently Sunday and I hope you enjoyed it. I can't believe how long I talked at the beginning, it was like a whole
