I used to watch your uploads every Sunday curled up in bed with my boyfriend- been a few months since we broke up and I'm finally feeling ok enough to catch up on what I've missed. It's good to be back guys 🙂
Millie Fender I always assume everyone watches their videos after getting up on Sunday , when you kinda don’t have that much to do and you just cry and laugh a lot . It’s cool to see this videos playing with your emotions . It just happens and it’s amazing
Hi Millie! My name is Lucia and I am an undergraduate college student in Washington conducting research on the Michalaks’ RUclips channel for a course project. Your comment stood out to me, and if you are interested, I would really like to send you a survey to learn more about your viewing habits. If you want to learn more, please feel free to email me at Lucia.B.Gruber@gmail.com. Thanks and have a wonderful rest of your day!
It’s really strange to feel so close to a family that knows nothing of my existence. I tune in every Sunday, sometimes my husband even watches with me. I have been watching your vlogs this way for nearly 4 years. I am a bit of a friendless loner type, and the company and inclusion I feel from your little films is so important to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

this spring it will be 3 years since i started watching your channel. Looking at this video made me so emotional, thinking of how my year was and all of the things I went through and i'm so happy that for the last 3 years your content made me cry, laugh, got me out of bed when i was sad and it was my comfort zone. everytime i was panicking about life or having a difficult moment i came back to your videos and got peace from that ! So thank you, thank you so much ! Watching your family for the last years, i learned more about who i want to be as a person, what i m looking for in life and discovered so much about the world around! Happy new year and lots of virtual hugs !

watching your videos has become part of my weekly routine since three years now! you are the most real, honest and funniest family on this platform and so refreshing and calming to watch. have a great start to this new year and i can't wait for all the new adventures and stories you have to tell.
one of my favourite moments this year was Grayson trying to explain how he definitely did not kick that other boy in his long winded over the top excuse- so funny
Can't not cry when Hannah says "Grayson has a brother!" I love you all more than I should, and I can't wait to see what 2018 will bring to your family! Thank you so much for all that you share and create.
I usually don't like these recap style videos, but I love this.. I laughed so much, and it almost made me cry when you went back to the video announcing pregnancy of Rufus :') you and Hannah are so genuine, you show reality of life and how heart wrenching it can be at times, but also how good and fulfilling it can be. sometimes I am unsure about what I want out of life, so much of what I see and am told is one sided or made to seem other than it is ..I mean, its doesn't feel genuine. You videos show me a life with good humour, family and love can exist - in a way that's attainable and true. you show all sides and I am thankful for you! I feel your videos have impacted my view on life. I wish to have your sense of humour stef, it isn't very witty but it is the kind that beings about real laughter. Happy new year to you all!
Also, I want to add in case you ever doubt or want a point of view when it comes to making these videos with your children in them, personally if my parents had made videos like these, I would understand them and know them in a whole different way than I could without. I feel its easy for parents to overlook that they have known their child for a small portion of their life, where as the child has known them for their whole life. (sorry if I didn't write that very well, second language english). If i had these from my childhood (even just a few) I could see myself with a better knowing, understanding and love for my parents.
That flashback to the silky in feburary just make me ball again.. I remember balling then too. The birth was EVERYTHING Hannah really was a superwoman!! Keep up the amazing work!! I'll keep coming back that is for sure.
Ever since I've started watching your videos about 3/4 years ago, they have brought me so much peace and calmness. Watching your vlogs is like taking the time out of life and getting a refresher on what life is all about and what really matters in life. Love, family, friends, adventure, nature. It is so grounding and so comforting when you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed about the little things and then you are reminded about what really matters and how much you have to be thankful for. Thank you for always being the reminder I need, forever grateful for that. Here's to more simple, beautiful moments to cherish in 2018! Happy new year 💖
I could write a thousand words on your beautiful family, but Ill just say you guys are ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL! So much love, warmth & truth shines out of your vlogs. Here's to another beautiful year. xx
While 2017 was a difficult journey, life is more peaceful with your videos. We’ve found assurance from your family vlogs that even with the truly crap moments, there is a silky montage just around the corner. Thank you! 🙏
This made me really emotional. I’m in a completely different period in life and in a different continent and alone and in the cusp of being independent and I do feel lonely... until I see your videos and I just want to give you guys a hug for making me not that lonely ❤️ Love from Bangalore (India)
I cant really express the compliment i want to give you but to say that your work feels beautiful and true. Sometimes I don't watch your films straight away because I don't feel like caring about what I'm watching as much as I know I will. Always so incredibly beautiful visually and often completely heartbreakingly moving. You have my support and best wishes. x
there’s just something so special about this channel, and i’m always going to have a very special place in my hearts, thank you for teaching me so much, lots of love ❤️
So strange but amazing how many emotions a video can make you have! So in love with the edit style and how the camera captures all the little things in life. I adore watching your family grow and all the ups and down you've shared through the past few years.... so would like to say thank you Michalaks! Hope you have an amazing 2018 xx
SUPER EXCITED TO SEE YOUR 2018 and how it unfolds with another member on the team! Talented parents with soon to be very talented kids. Love watching the journey and the development
i moved to california from cardiff, wales july 2016 and discovered your channel in 2017, i can not believe i have been watching you for a whole year now, it literally flew by, and every sunday i would wake up have my coffee sometimes with 1 type of british biscuit from my secret stash (scottish shortbread, digestive, or terrys orange choc) and zone out, your videos make me miss home and appreciate life and my moments here with my husband too and knowing everything will be fine.
Everytime i watch your 'films', you make me feel so much love towards my own family. You guys represent the meaning of love and family in the right way! I'm getting married this year and would love nothing more than someone like you guys to film/capture it! It's a long shot, but watching every week makes me feel the joy and passion that goes into every single moving picture. I'm excited to watch more :) xxx
You guys, this gave me goosebumps! I hadn't realized how much we've seen you life and go through and experience and I feel like I have known you for so many years. One of my favorite episodes this year was when Stef and Grayson visited granddad, but I have enjoyed tagging along every single week. Your videos on Sundays have become such a constant in my routine and I can't wait to see where 2018 takes you all!
Thank you for being the best content creators on RUclips. Your the one family and channel I come back to watch every week, without fail. I aspire to have the passion, drive, and love for my family, my creation, and my surroundings that you all do. Thank you for raising brilliant kids. For being brilliant. And for always making us laugh. - Taylor
For a long while now, you have been the only RUclipsrs whose videos I actually make a point to sit down and watch. Sometimes it takes me a couple of weeks and I have to catch up a bit, but no one else (and I'm subscribed to quite a lot of channels) has content that so consistently makes me want to see what you have been up to and hear your take on life. I feel like if I knew you guys in real life we would get along really well and I don't feel that way about many other RUclipsrs. You portray yourselves so openly and honestly, and I appreciate that so much! I wish you all the best for 2018 and I can't wait to see where this year takes you all. Thanks for continuing to choose to share your lives with us. :)
I would absolutely love if this became a yearly thing of a recap. I'm not saying this to just flatter you stef, but in complete honesty your family is my favorite channel on youtube. Your eye for capturing cinematic beauty astonishes me every time. I hope one day I will be able to edit the way you do, because you do inspire me. I am so happy with all the good that came from this year for your family.
I'm so glad I discovered your guys' channel. I only heard about you once by chance and decided to check you out on a whim. Not only are your vlogs/films the most beautiful, compelling, original that I've ever come across on RUclips, you guys are also one of the few channels I subscribe to where I know I am watching real people and not performers which is SO refreshing and makes the viewing so much more worthwhile. Thanks so much for sharing and adding a little more brightness to my life.
that snippet of Hannah giving birth and hearing and watching her become so happy had me in tears again. A beautiful moment and beautifully captured. Happy new year to you all x
soo much love (all the way from switzerland) for all of you and it's been more than a year! and I think I'll never stop, just because you guys stay as humble and raw and honest and down to earth as you are.
Stef you are amazing at editing!! Another amazing year of videos off you guys, will never stop watching, so many youtubers have become obsessed with the subs, likes and money they gain from doing it but you guys have been real from the start and I thank you dearly for that. Happy new year to your lovely little family xxxxx
Another stunning video. You guys make some of the only videos I stop everything to watch. Almost all other videos/programmes/even films I'll be on my phone or chatting or getting ready for the day etc whilst watching. But your videos are too special to not dedicate the time and environment they ask for in order to watch. Thank you for sharing some of your lives with us, for creating such beautiful videos/films, and for offering me half an hour or so of escape every week. Happy new year, the Michalaks x
I'm only to April and I already love this! Also, even January vids seemed like it was yesterday. I don't even know how long I've been watching you guys but it has to be at least 2 years now 😱
The Scottish Highlands vlog is my absolute favourite and a trip like this has been at the top of my bucket list ever since. Can't wait to continue watching in 2018 :)
Happy New Year!🎈🎆Thanks so much for sharing your lives. With all of the negativity in the world, you remind us of how wonderful life can be. May God bless you all. You are truly an artist and a gifted film maker. What a beautiful family! So glad the grandparents are also included.
I’m a new subscriber and I’m so excited to have found you. It’s been a long time since something on RUclips has excited me so much. In fact, it may be the first time! Can’t wait to be part of your fan club!
I so rarely comment on youtube videos, but thanks so much for your wonderful films. Sunday is so important to me as a time to take some space from the hustle and bustle of life, lie in bed, eat delicious breakfast and watch you guys. Your channel still gives me the 'old fashioned' thrills of being excited that today is the day that your favourite programme is on, and I am yet to be disappointed. Thanks for being such a breath of fresh air in the smog that is modern day media content.
This was so beautiful. I’ll always cry when watching Hannah say “Gracie has a brother”. It just immediately tears me up. I’ve been watching you guys for years & I’m so proud of everything you guys have achieved as well as happy for all you have done. Hope this year is amazing for you all.
Happy new year, Michalaks! Truly excited to follow your 2018 adventures. And - as many others have mentioned - I, too, cry every time I watch Rufus' beautiful birth.
I’ve sat this afternoon catching up on vlogs, I worked my way through my subscription box, each one different and entertaining in their own right. When I realised you were next in line, I put down my iPad. I’ve drawn the curtains, made a cuppa and put my feet up. You, Stef, are a film maker. I’ve laughed, smiled and cried at your 2017 best bits, that’s simply down to the way you’ve captured them. Have an amazing 2018. Much love to you all xx
I can not even believe I somehow missed the vlog when you were in daytona beach! It's where I'm from, my whole life! Incredible! I've been to crabby joes!
Happy New Year guys- from Florida! Its been a blast. Been a subbie for years now. Thank you for the tears, laughter, and all the emotions I felt that I cant even describe...my support is forever yours.
I started watching you guys long ago and I have enjoyed since the beginning. It´s wonderful to see your family getting bigger and your love getting strong. The quality of the videos rising up and the creativity finding no limits!! I hope you have an amazing 2018 as individuals, as a family and as a film maker.
It’s been 3 years since I started watching your channel, and it’s been amazing to watch your family and content grow over these years. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for your family in 2018!
You guys are the best! Honestly the only vlog that is honest and is hard work actually and I value that is the only vlog that the kids dont look at the camera, they look at their parents the enjoy every moment and that is because you respect them, and we can tell. Just a big thanks for this past year!
Happy New Year! I always watch from start to finish. Your work is so beautiful, relaxing and amusing to watch. I appreciate and treasure your honesty and transparency in your filmaking.
Stef, this video was great! I mean, all of your videos are stunning but this one seemed to be even more real, relaxed and happy! Thank you for all your hard work! Much love from Austria, Theresa
I loved this so much! I normally don’t like when there are flashbacks but this made me remember all the amazing moments you guys had in the last year and how much you deserve it. Can’t wait to see what this year holds for you guys and excited to see all the new stunning videos to come!
Looking back also reminds me of so much of my year too so this was really nice. Loved August/September and the Scotland trip the most, but watching this through, with each month and each clip I found myself thinking 'ohhh this was a great video, oh wait this was even better, oh no hang on this was wonderful'. Thanks for providing such honest, beautiful, thought provoking and stunning mini films each week. Look forward to following you all this year too.
Love that you brought back tunes from throughout the year - nostalgic much?! You’ve delivered some wonderful things to my eyes and ears! Also, thanks for making me cry again with the birth... :) xx
I'm usually a silent viewer but I just wanted to say that I've been watching for over 2 years now and these videos are the highlight of my week. Every single one of them makes me feel something different and I love having the opportunity to watch your brilliant family grow. I cannot wait to see what you produce in 2018 :) x
Ive said it before and ill say it again, i find myself smiling at my phone while watching these videos. And yes the land rover scotland video was always my fave of your videos. The shot of grayson and hannah's silhouettes kissing gets me everytime! So beautiful. Happy new year! X
I feel guilty for laughing so much at the part where Gracie kicked Steph in the face ( may or may not have replayed it twice just to laugh a little bit more ) 😂 he’s such a character of his own.
Love love love your films.....my absolute favourite thing to watch. My 4 year old son also loves Grayson, he always wants to come and watch with me, so he can see what he’s up to!
I’m normally a silent viewer but I felt I needed to comment - you are so inspirational to so many. Keep doing what you’re doing and I hope this year is as magical for you as your last x
Every single video of yours gives me goosebumps and such a raw sense of feeling, I hope you are both extremely proud of all that you create because it is absolutely beautiful. So very grateful for your videos :))
Really enjoyable video guys, loved looking back on your year and all the amazing experiences you've all had. 2018 has a lot to live up to!! Happy new year guys xx
Awesome! Can't believe G is 4 and how much you guys have changed content but always for the better and always with humour and lack of fakeness. Here's to your 2018 - a year of big changes and school bants!
Thank you, Stef, Hannah, and boys. I thoroughly enjoy every film you put out. Your wit, charm, and realness, as well as the incredible imagery, and story is what brings me back every week, as a long time viewer, I cannot wait to see what 2018 holds for you!
What a lovely video - I love watching your weekly films they are always such a beautiful thing to watch. I am always looking forward to seeing a new chapter each Sunday. Thank you for being the way you guys are and for creating such lovely and highly enjoyable content on a platform that is overflowing with useless idiocy. Looking forward to the next one. xxx Karoline
What a fantastic year you had. The move to Bath has been brilliant for you. The birth of little Roo made me cry especially Hannah saying “Gracie’s got a brother” ❤️. I also cried with LAUGHTER (sorry Stef) when Grayson kicked you in the head - sorry!!! I hope this year will be as good, if not better than last year for you all. Glad you are back after your well deserved break x
Did gracie like the wobbly man? Most important question
All I've been thinking about!!!!
That was my first thought too! 😂
didnt even realise someone else asked this! we all want to know
I haven’t stopped thinking about this since Christmas Day
The birth video when Hannah says Gracie has a brother Still! Makes me cry ever time!
me too!
I used to watch your uploads every Sunday curled up in bed with my boyfriend- been a few months since we broke up and I'm finally feeling ok enough to catch up on what I've missed. It's good to be back guys 🙂
Millie Fender I always assume everyone watches their videos after getting up on Sunday , when you kinda don’t have that much to do and you just cry and laugh a lot . It’s cool to see this videos playing with your emotions . It just happens and it’s amazing
I am so sorry for you about the break up. But i believe you are great and you will find someone. Till that time enjoy this video

Verity Williams I balled my eyes out
The head kick was savage!
Helen Short it was but so funny!!!! I was like Hannah couldn't help but laugh 😳😳😳😳
You guys make me hungry for life.
Efeuhonig Thank you for putting my exact feelings in words :)
couldn't describe it better
You guys are everything I aspire to be. Expect the fact that Stef is balding.
Lisa Verhenne hahaha im sorry i laughed rly hard :'D

Grayson kicking you in the head 😂😂😂 lose it every time
Hahahaha me too, I rewinded that part over and over again in the original vlog and this one too 😂
Also stef please never doubt that you are a film maker. Each one of these vlogs is a mini masterpiece!
It’s really strange to feel so close to a family that knows nothing of my existence. I tune in every Sunday, sometimes my husband even watches with me.

Watching these videos makes me so happy. I literally feel so nostalgic and just genuinely happy watching them

Thank you for sharing some of your lives with us, for creating such beautiful videos/films, and for offering me half an hour or so of escape every week. Happy new year, the Michalaks x
I'm only to April and I already love this! Also, even January vids seemed like it was yesterday. I don't even know how long I've been watching you guys but it has to be at least 2 years now 😱
There's no other content, quality, love and family like this one - one proud subscriber since 2014
The Scottish Highlands vlog is my absolute favourite and a trip like this has been at the top of my bucket list ever since. Can't wait to continue watching in 2018 :)
Happy New Year!🎈🎆Thanks so much for sharing your lives. With all of the negativity in the world, you remind us of how wonderful life can be. May God bless you all. You are truly an artist and a gifted film maker. What a beautiful family! So glad the grandparents are also included.
Not sure how I made my way over to your channel, but just ‘wow’!!!
Beautiful film....beautiful family. Thank you
I’m a new subscriber and I’m so excited to have found you. It’s been a long time since something on RUclips has excited me so much. In fact, it may be the first time! Can’t wait to be part of your fan club!
I so rarely comment on youtube videos, but thanks so much for your wonderful films. Sunday is so important to me as a time to take some space from the hustle and bustle of life, lie in bed, eat delicious breakfast and watch you guys. Your channel still gives me the 'old fashioned' thrills of being excited that today is the day that your favourite programme is on, and I am yet to be disappointed. Thanks for being such a breath of fresh air in the smog that is modern day media content.
I can't believe some of this stuff was almost a year ago, I remember how I felt watching it then, and I well up watching it now. Thank you
This was so beautiful. I’ll always cry when watching Hannah say “Gracie has a brother”. It just immediately tears me up. I’ve been watching you guys for years & I’m so proud of everything you guys have achieved as well as happy for all you have done. Hope this year is amazing for you all.
Happy new year, Michalaks! Truly excited to follow your 2018 adventures.
And - as many others have mentioned - I, too, cry every time I watch Rufus' beautiful birth.
I’ve sat this afternoon catching up on vlogs, I worked my way through my subscription box, each one different and entertaining in their own right. When I realised you were next in line, I put down my iPad. I’ve drawn the curtains, made a cuppa and put my feet up. You, Stef, are a film maker. I’ve laughed, smiled and cried at your 2017 best bits, that’s simply down to the way you’ve captured them.
Have an amazing 2018. Much love to you all xx
I loved watching this video. I want to thank you for giving us every week such creative, inspiring videos. Thank you for your honesty guys !
I can not even believe I somehow missed the vlog when you were in daytona beach! It's where I'm from, my whole life! Incredible! I've been to crabby joes!
Seeing the videos from the London flat made me feel so nostalgic ahaha! Proud of you guys, can't wait to see what is to come in 2018!
Happy New Year guys- from Florida! Its been a blast. Been a subbie for years now. Thank you for the tears, laughter, and all the emotions I felt that I cant even describe...my support is forever yours.
I started watching you guys long ago and I have enjoyed since the beginning. It´s wonderful to see your family getting bigger and your love getting strong. The quality of the videos rising up and the creativity finding no limits!! I hope you have an amazing 2018 as individuals, as a family and as a film maker.
I look forward to the video every week. Excited to keep watching another year!
What a wonderful year. Crazy to see that you were in Disney Land in January when I feel like it wasn't that long ago!
Wish you all a happy new year!
Another amazing video, congratulations on all your accomplishments and new adventures. Happy new year Michalaks!
It’s been 3 years since I started watching your channel, and it’s been amazing to watch your family and content grow over these years. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for your family in 2018!
You guys are the best! Honestly the only vlog that is honest and is hard work actually and I value that is the only vlog that the kids dont look at the camera, they look at their parents the enjoy every moment and that is because you respect them, and we can tell. Just a big thanks for this past year!
And you should remind yourself this are movies!! Real movies!
This makes me look forward to 2018 because you never know what amazing things it might have in store
Happy New Year! I always watch from start to finish. Your work is so beautiful, relaxing and amusing to watch. I appreciate and treasure your honesty and transparency in your filmaking.
Just amazing! Love watching your videos! Can’t wait for what this year is going to bring for you guys!
Beautifully done and so much hard work put into the editing Stef! Got a little emosh at the birthing video again
Stef, this video was great! I mean, all of your videos are stunning but this one seemed to be even more real, relaxed and happy! Thank you for all your hard work! Much love from Austria, Theresa
Your vlogs are honestly the most precious videos out here ! I Love everything about it ! All the best to you !
I think we should all appreciate little Rufus waving at the end!
I love your family so much and enjoy your videos so very much
I loved this so much! I normally don’t like when there are flashbacks but this made me remember all the amazing moments you guys had in the last year and how much you deserve it. Can’t wait to see what this year holds for you guys and excited to see all the new stunning videos to come!
Happy new year to you too ... And keep doing what you do!!! 👍🏻🤗
You guys are, wonderful! Happy New Year to you four Michalaks!!
Looking back also reminds me of so much of my year too so this was really nice. Loved August/September and the Scotland trip the most, but watching this through, with each month and each clip I found myself thinking 'ohhh this was a great video, oh wait this was even better, oh no hang on this was wonderful'. Thanks for providing such honest, beautiful, thought provoking and stunning mini films each week. Look forward to following you all this year too.
Happy New Year! Can’t wait to spend 2018 with you guys!
Love that you brought back tunes from throughout the year - nostalgic much?! You’ve delivered some wonderful things to my eyes and ears! Also, thanks for making me cry again with the birth... :) xx
I'm usually a silent viewer but I just wanted to say that I've been watching for over 2 years now and these videos are the highlight of my week. Every single one of them makes me feel something different and I love having the opportunity to watch your brilliant family grow. I cannot wait to see what you produce in 2018 :) x
Ive said it before and ill say it again, i find myself smiling at my phone while watching these videos. And yes the land rover scotland video was always my fave of your videos. The shot of grayson and hannah's silhouettes kissing gets me everytime! So beautiful. Happy new year! X
I feel guilty for laughing so much at the part where Gracie kicked Steph in the face ( may or may not have replayed it twice just to laugh a little bit more ) 😂 he’s such a character of his own.
Love love love your films.....my absolute favourite thing to watch. My 4 year old son also loves Grayson, he always wants to come and watch with me, so he can see what he’s up to!
I’m normally a silent viewer but I felt
I needed to comment - you are so inspirational to so many. Keep doing what you’re doing and I hope this year is as magical for you as your last x
Such a beautiful video as usual ... always love and admire the effort that goes into these videos everytime!! ❤
Every single video of yours gives me goosebumps and such a raw sense of feeling, I hope you are both extremely proud of all that you create because it is absolutely beautiful. So very grateful for your videos :))
You are wonderful humans. Thanks for being part of my year. Can’t wait to see what 2018 brings to your incredible family. All the best. Xx
Really enjoyable video guys, loved looking back on your year and all the amazing experiences you've all had. 2018 has a lot to live up to!! Happy new year guys xx
Awesome! Can't believe G is 4 and how much you guys have changed content but always for the better and always with humour and lack of fakeness. Here's to your 2018 - a year of big changes and school bants!
I love you guys. Thank you for the past year of sharing your lives with all of us. And the years prior. And for the years ahead 🖤
What a wonderful recap! I’d love to see one every year. Happy 2018!
Thank you, Stef, Hannah, and boys. I thoroughly enjoy every film you put out. Your wit, charm, and realness, as well as the incredible imagery, and story is what brings me back every week, as a long time viewer, I cannot wait to see what 2018 holds for you!
I love you guys soooooooooo much!!! Please come to Toronto, I can show you all the cool spots!!
What a lovely video - I love watching your weekly films they are always such a beautiful thing to watch. I am always looking forward to seeing a new chapter each Sunday. Thank you for being the way you guys are and for creating such lovely and highly enjoyable content on a platform that is overflowing with useless idiocy. Looking forward to the next one. xxx Karoline
Last year was great! So happy for you guys and all ur succes! Hope that 2018 will even better!!
Beautiful video Stef! Thank you both for sharing! I am looking forward to this upcoming year with you all!
What a fantastic year you had. The move to Bath has been brilliant for you. The birth of little Roo made me cry especially Hannah saying “Gracie’s got a brother” ❤️. I also cried with LAUGHTER (sorry Stef) when Grayson kicked you in the head - sorry!!! I hope this year will be as good, if not better than last year for you all. Glad you are back after your well deserved break x
