IT'S THE DRESS. THE YELLOW DRESS WE WERE PROMISED. Big Sister Swap absolutely NAILED these exchanges!! I love that you were so intentional about scheduling in activities that brought you joy on these days off; I'm always amazed at how much more alive I feel after I've deliberately given myself the gift of doing something that I enjoy. I also definitely had to Google "flapjacks british" because my U.S. brain was SO confused about what kind of pancakes involved that many oats and an oven 😅
Hahaha yeah flapjacks are just oats, sugar, butter and syrup here and they are delicious!! And yes I always need at least one thing to anchor my day, if I’ve got nothing planned then I feel a bit aimless and it defeats the point of having a restful and/or joyous time!
So glad you're taking care of yourself, being a working mumma is so hard in this day and age!!! Also Rowan's little 'hey!' at 16:35 is absolutely adorable 🥹
SUCH INFECTIOUS SMILE!!! you thinking you are going late but then having a lot of time leftover, you showing the dress swap fits, so happy after watching this video!
Watching this while fatigued got me motivated enough to try a face mask. Was glorious! And then I picked up so much momentum that I cleaned the kitchen counters! That was so cool! Thank you! ❤
Wish we had Big Sister Swap in the US! So many of your videos just make me go ugh, wish we had that where I am. So so happy you got to take some much needed me time. I gotta find/make time for self-care in my life, it's so important!
This was such a fun video and you seemed so happy throughout! The new hair looks incredible, too, and I loved getting to see the new bits and bobs for your wardrobe and accessories.
Not to be morbid but as someone who works for the ambulance service and so often sees people who need these - please consider also getting medical LPAs! (Lasting Power of Attorneys) I cannot stress how much difference these make to patients I see when they have been set up appropriately before they were needed! (Obviously I hope neither of you ever need it but they’re such a wonderful tool that eases stress should something unthinkable happen) 💛💛
I agree! It's such a brilliant idea to take some time between having this day for childcare and having it for self-employed work to take a bit of a break and reset.
Yes! All parents should get some well deserved days off! We know you're cheating as you were filming this blog, but appreciate the video! :) Totally relate to the admin pile, and boy does it feel good to cross things off my long a** to do list on my days off.
The new dresses look gorgeous Hannah! You can get the gaping on the left hand side of the yellow dress neckline fixed if it bothers you - just needs a little dart in it to take out the extra fullness
I also identify as more blond then I seem. I was platinum until I turn two years old, so maybe it's my inner child talking? :D Lovely idea with the days off. Since I had some unused vacation days, I also started taking single days just for myself (even tough I'm not a mother), and it;s so much fun.
I LOVE flapjacks so much! Thankfully, although I was born and raised in Canada, all my fam is from the UK, so I grew up with the joy of flapjacks. In my adulthood I have introduced so many people here to them, and they always go down really well. I've even had people offer to buy me the ingredients just so I'll make them again. lol
Thats such a good idea Hannah! I used to work 5 days a week but 4 hours a day, and my daughter came to the nursery I worked at for 2 of those days. Friday was easy, I worked a morning and she did a morning. But Thursday I worked 10-2 and I had to pay school hours for her 9-4. So I would drop her at 9:30 and have a hot drink and a chill. Then I'd leave her til 4 and have 2 whole hours to myself!!! It was great, it only lasted 3 months before I changed jobs but I loved it. I'm now homeschooling and my parents have her for about 5 hours on a Tuesday morning which makes such a difference to my week. A refresh and a reset for my brain.
Your new dresses are lovely but the yellow one is just perfect on you. I don’t know anyone who can carry off yellow like you do. Very enjoyable vlog Hannah x
Do you have any plans to send Rowan to German lessons, German schools or something like that? It's fine if not, I'm just curious if you'll incorporate some German stuff into your day to day lives.
I am excitedly waiting on my big sister swap parcel which I purchased after seeing your video (as is my friend who I recommened it too as well) I honestly cannot wait 😂 I am really loving your vlogs, they're fast being my comfort TV (I mean this as a compliment! ❤) and all of your circular /second hand fashion content, it's great 😊
Loved this video 🥰 lil tip, next time you make flapjacks - put some peanut butter in there. I like to use about half as much PB as there is golden syrup in the recipe, maybe a bit more if you love a chewy flapjack. You’re welcome! 💖
Loved the video! Just a thought. You and Dan should consider doing an LPA for health (if you haven’t already), in addition to the financial one as they’re completely separate, and it’s obviously very important to have your wishes considered in health scenarios ☺️
Your vlogs are so much more relatable than some of the ones I've seen 😆 I love seeing the life admin etc rather than just carefully curated stuff. The yellow dress is PERFECT, I also have bought a Big Sister Swap after seeing your video so I hope I get something as nice as that. Also the earrings you got rid of that were like globes with sprinkley things in are my favourite 😆 I'm trying to collect them in lots of colours but I've unfortunately smashed several and it is a nightmare to clean up those tiny balls (as I imagine they also say at Wimbledon lol)
the fish cakes reminded me of a regular meal we had, in our house, when i was growing up: salmon patties. dipped in ketchup with kraft mac 'n' cheese and green beans! and my mom definitely pronounced it "sall-mun" lol
Paused this to say, I love those cake tins & waterbottle. The colours really suit your aesthetic too 💛🧡 Plus, your silly faces you pulled in the vlog cheered me up!
Ah such a comfort watch ❤. I was wondering do you count vlogging as less energy/time intensive, or were those days off still counting as some sort of working?
I definitely don't consider it super "hard" work otherwise I wouldn't have bothered doing it on these days off (lol!) but vlogging was part of the fun for me. If I thought the vlogging would get in the way then I would just enjoy the time OFF OFF
Did you go somewhere you can pick and choose your cooked breakfast and asked for extra beans? 😂. Reminds me of being in catered halls in university and one of my friends got a plate of beans for breakfast, and a side of toast.
Living Power of Attorney is what LPA stands for. It means if either of you are incapable of making decisions for yourself then the other will have authority to make those decisions for you, and I assume when Rowan gets older he may have LPA for either or both of you, his parents. That may need to be set up later though.
Love your hair LOOKS BEAUTIFUL hannah and so happy and proud of you so important to take care of yourself and relax and take take time for for your self and relax as for all my mothers xoxo 😚 🌞💛🩵🩵💛🌞🏝️🏝️🌞🩵🩵🩵🏝️🏝️💛🩵🩵💛🌞🏝️🌞🩵🩵🩵🌞🌞🏝️🌞💛🩵🩵💛🌞🏝️🌞💛🩵🩵🩵💛🌞💛🩵🩵🩵💛🌞🏝️🏝️🌞💛🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵💛🌞🏝️🏝️🏝️🌞💛🩵🌞🏝️
It's bad but I was legit Shocked to see in the title that this was '1 day a week' rather than '1 day a month'. I am so glad u got to do this and you Do deserve it, that is just my own new mum guilt/life showing 😶
I find it amusing that all of your activities you wanted to do are exactly what i would hate: pilates, waxing, hair and nails. All sound terrible to me. But it's nice to see you enjoying yourself. Different boats for different folks and all that.
Is it a sign of adulthood, doing a patch test before doing your hair? If so, I am definitely not adult enough xD I've been bleaching/dying my hair for literally a decade (mostly at home, but also sometimes at salons) and I've never once done a patch test, I just can't be bothered xD I just commit to the risk of "maybe my hair will turn out absolutely shitty" xD
Hannah: "I have a day off! So excited!"
Also Hannah: Vlogs her day off, making it into a work day.
IT'S THE DRESS. THE YELLOW DRESS WE WERE PROMISED. Big Sister Swap absolutely NAILED these exchanges!!

I love that on your 'no work' days you still managed to film this amazing vlog!
Hahaha yeah a bit ironic really 😅
So glad you're taking care of yourself, being a working mumma is so hard in this day and age!!! Also Rowan's little 'hey!' at 16:35 is absolutely adorable 🥹
SUCH INFECTIOUS SMILE!!! you thinking you are going late but then having a lot of time leftover, you showing the dress swap fits, so happy after watching this video!
This is such a good idea! I’ve been trying to give myself a half day for fun stuff/life admin. Going to see Barbie during the day on Friday!
omg enjoy! and yes if your work/life allows would highly recommend!
Watching this while fatigued got me motivated enough to try a face mask. Was glorious! And then I picked up so much momentum that I cleaned the kitchen counters! That was so cool! Thank you! ❤
Wish we had Big Sister Swap in the US! So many of your videos just make me go ugh, wish we had that where I am. So so happy you got to take some much needed me time. I gotta find/make time for self-care in my life, it's so important!

You should stick the height chart on a piece of wood so you can easily bring it to a new house!

I loved watching this. I'm currently sick in bed and this is incredibly calming while also giving me ideas for things I can look forward to.
Can't say why but this video was so satisfacting.❤🌻 Loved the mix of pampering and admin. Very cool vlog 👏
Great vlog! A great reminder of the different faces of self care.
I love that you're watching Rowan Ellis on the background while vlogging lol
Love the self care inspiration, this is a great reminder to look after ourselves!! 🤩
I agree! It's such a brilliant idea to take some time between having this day for childcare and having it for self-employed work to take a bit of a break and reset.
The best idea ever. One day a week for YOU and nothing else. This should be everyone always 💜💜💜
Yes! All parents should get some well deserved days off!
We know you're cheating as you were filming this blog, but appreciate the video! :)

You've been doing a really good sell on big sister swap for me! I really want to try it soon.

Loved this video, would love to see more like this! Also I was at Wimbledon the same day as you 😅
Loved the clothes haul clothes!! Great to see you excited about each one. Those are great finds
Loving this lifestyle channel, Great Aunt Hannah!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love the “Life Admin” phrase thing, defiantly using that from here on out
Rowan’s little Hi is so adorable ❤️

The necklace is soo beautiful and perfect!
Stunning!

I’m not a fan of peanut butter but I imagine for folks who are that would be amazing!!
@@morehannah ahh that’s a shame! I hope somebody else sees this and tries it, cuz it really is great! 🙌
Definitely trying this, thanks for the tip 😍
I love this vlog. I listed to it while I did some tidying :D

I absolutely loved this blog.
This was so fun! You look so happy that it made me happy. 😂
OMG THE YELLOW DRESS 💛 it’s perfection! Any chance you can share the brand? Much love ❤️
That was a fun video to watch 😊🌻
So glad you got some time to yourself! Also, your hair looks amazing 🤩
Rowan Ellis on the TV ❤
Russian nesting cake tins + wooden spoons = Rowan's first drum set 😉
Love the burnt orange dress !!! ❤
Do love a list 😊
Ah such a comfort watch ❤. I was wondering do you count vlogging as less energy/time intensive, or were those days off still counting as some sort of working?

Ah, makes sense! 😊
the blonder hair suits you SO much!
Loved the smooth jazz elevator music.
What brand is the yellow dress from? 😍
Love the new clothes!!!
28:53 😂 hello Rowan!
Always happy to be a bad influence when it comes to cake tins 😅 x
I am very pleased with my new cake tins thank you!!
What brand is the white dress with all the colorful spots?!
omg the orange dress is beaut
This is very inspiring!!
What brand is the black jumpsuit with dots? It looks incredible x
Thanks!
loved this video & love your hair!!!
Aunt Hannah!♥️♥️♥️♥️ I love you!♥️♥️♥️♥️

The Maintainence Phase podcast recently made an episode about Pilates that you might find interesting - I highly recommend it!
Anyone know the name of the app to photograph your wardrobe that Hannah is using?

Very boring question but that purple spoon/spatula you were using for the flapjacks, where is it from?!
I don’t know my granny bought it years ago! Sorry !
It's bad but I was legit Shocked to see in the title that this was '1 day a week' rather than '1 day a month'. I am so glad u got to do this and you Do deserve it, that is just my own new mum guilt/life showing 😶
I have like 300 pairs of earings and 2 year old :D So one day I will wear it again, I hope :-)
Was that a mince pie you had at the hairdresser? Or a mini apple pie?
Mini apple pie!
I find it amusing that all of your activities you wanted to do are exactly what i would hate: pilates, waxing, hair and nails. All sound terrible to me. But it's nice to see you enjoying yourself. Different boats for different folks and all that.
Indeed!!

fyi, nosepads on spectacles should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, most places even offer to switch them for free
Hannah, what bra were you wearing in the first clip? I love it!

Every time she moves around her flat I realize what a fundamental misunderstanding of the layout I have.
the back of your babies head looks exactly the same as the back of my babies head. weird haha

Your flapjacks look nothing like I thought flapjacks were. The name is confusing me I think 😅
Is Big Sister Swap exclusively for women/people who's preferred way of dressing is more femme?
They say they cater to all genders and all sizes!

Watch out for how much computer time you do. I find being on the computer makes time disappear faster than you think
