The thing I noticed is you’re just smiling all the time, even through the hard bits 🥹😭❤️
my fave part of sundays lately: a new vlog from holly
That heart-to-heart conversation while sitting in a sitz bath to treat a hemorrhoid is honestly the most relatable depiction of friendship on the internet! Bestie, we're all in this together! 👍😊
Your earnest chat about being yourself and how we all adore you for exactly who you are whilst sitting with your butt in the bath to soothe the hemorrhoids is textbook Holly Morris and exactly why we are all obsessed with you. I actually teared up when you got emotional. You are honestly so cool and inspiring!! And to talk to naturally about something which so many people go through and feel embarrassed to talk about is exactly what the world needs xxx
"Sometimes being anxious is harder than actually facing genuinely physically hard things because the anxiety takes you to a whole other planet" spoke to my soul couldn't agree more
Rory is such a wonderful partner and dad- you are both doing such an amazing job ❤ Never underestimate the strength you have and the strength you give others by all you do and share ❤
THE HIGHLIGHT of my Sunday! From a mum of a 4 month old, I love your honesty. First time mum here too and I adore you! I feel so much less alone thanks to all you share, means so so much! Adore you and Rory ❤
Rory -Das vlog ist eine stunde und sechs minuten Lang 😊
German viewer here 🙋♀️ Would LOVE to hear more of Rory‘s German skills!! :D
10/10 vlog no notes thank you for being a breath of fresh internet air
If you have R-CPD (no-burp syndrome) there’s a treatment which will hopefully be on the NHS at some point soon! The gurgles are the worst , I can’t drink fizzy drinks at all
omg I am crying about the gorgeous gorgeous dialogue of you saying thank you - then I clock that you are sat with your cheeks out in the bath what a paradox HAHAHAH
#1 on the hype leaderboard lets go
You’re SO real about the newborn bubble thing… everyone would say “awww enjoy the newborn bubble” “enjoy every second!!!” and quite frankly I wanted to punch them in the face 😂😂 we called it the newborn trenches and the newborn pits of hell 🫠 honestly hated the newborn phase but I know some people DO genuinely enjoy it 😅 everyone is different I suppose but it’s so nice to hear someone speak about a similar experience to me 😂 also! don’t worry the trenches do end! they feel like they will last forever but promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel and soon you will have a smiley giggly little dude, and you’ll think “fuck that was a hard time wasn’t it! glad we’re out the other side!” ❤
I'm also quite freshly postpartum and got recommended your channel and I LOVE it! You're such a hoot. I'm sat here bouncing my baby and watching this video, and your depiction of daily life is so validating. I'm 11 weeks in and still have no clue what I'm doing, so you're doing an amazing job!
Holly, you (and Rory) bring me so much joy every video. I appreciate you sharing little snippets of your lives with us. Every vlog feels like an hour long FaceTime catch up with a friend and I adore it. Thanks for the laughs every week and all the real, honest conversations you have. I feel so seen. xx
I managed to accidentally get on the radio through a friend of a friend. No, I haven't been paid, but I think that's a good way of getting radio experience. The radio presenter I have been on the show about a dozen times. It's called Hannah Murray, and she works for Talk Radio Europe. She often interviews people from the UK, even though she lives in Spain. That could be your first debut.
Holly I went into Asda the other day and they had an adult pet bed which may be almost as comfy as Junes play mat🤩🤩🤩
holly when you said you want to be on the radio i shouted 'YES!' i'm so behind you on that!
So grateful for this vlog as a distraction today! I’m exhausted from horrendous period cramps and autism struggling with big changes to my routine. Huge love to you ❤️
