    I've been here since Grayson was born, and it weren't the big "blockbuster moments" that made me keep watching. It's not what keeps entertaining me. It's you, all of you. It's going through it all together, you and me, the viewer. The good, the bad and the boring. And the best vlogs for me, are just that. The real and honest ones. The ones where you're all true to yourselves, so I can believe it's ok to be true to mine.

    Steph. It wasn't just luck that got you to where you are today. It was your hard work, determination, late nights, early mornings, time away from your family.....ect.. You made this happen. You weren't just lucky and it fell into your lap. Allow yourself to be prideful and proud that your cinematography is finally getting the recognition that it so deserves. Congratulations ♡

      I don't think you understand what he means by determinism. He is the sole sum of all the DNA in his body (provided by his parents) his personality type, (again inherited) and every minute interaction he's ever had with the outside world, which has then influenced his own outward and inward reactions involuntarily. Everything we do as people is a product of these external factors, we all think we have free will but we don't. For that to exist we'd have to be brains in a vacuum (actually not even brains) just conscious thought.

    • @teacherista8319
      @teacherista8319 5 лет назад +4

      Sarah EDen I don’t agree. Someone once said that 50% of your words are your own and the rest the product of socialisation. Our prefrontal cortex is what gives us that element of free will that animals don’t have.

    • @TheSdennis89
      @TheSdennis89 5 лет назад +1

      Lauren Shepherd Yes we do have a prefrontal cortex which allows us a deeper level of cognition than our other fellow animals, but this is nothing to do with free will, it just allows us to process more internal and external data. FYI ‘What someone once said’ is not an argument I’m afraid.

    I love your work. You capture the view of the world through endearing just-turned-2-years-old eyes. I love how you make ordinary things appear interesting. Your videos always give me a sense of calm about the goings on around me, helping me to observe the realness of everything and appreciate it just as it is. It's like doing therapy, honestly.
    Keep doing what you do, because it helps me greatly. In a time where the world appears icky, you bring the curiosity back into our souls.

  • @Nellesaurus
    @Nellesaurus 5 лет назад

    I really needed this video, purely for Stef's little pep talk about persevering when your business or idea doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. I've started up my own little business up-cycling clothing, and making hand made items/gifts to promote a heathy, eco-conscious fashion lifestyle. I've worked so hard for months and sometimes i'll be working days and weeks on end and feel like nothing is progressing, and the past couple of weeks I've really felt that. I've felt disheartened and like I'm talking/reaching out to no one and it's really hard to keep the motivation, despite feeling so positively and passionately about what it is I'm doing. This is the exact week I needed to hear this from you Stef, I even shed a tear because I needed someone to tell me to believe in myself, and I wasn't expecting to hear that through a youtube video. It wasn't preachy, it was motivating and exactly what I needed, so, truly, thank you.

  • @sofiagamboa5034
    @sofiagamboa5034 4 года назад

    I have been a silent viewer since 2015 and I feel I need to say this : You should feel proud of yourself Stef, what you created together with Hannah is beyond extraordinary. Within a world of superficial content , and meaningless shit you have showed me how I can feel joy with just being myself and nothing else. Thank you for your hard work and for your videos , they truly make me feel more happy with what I have , and in a way they give me hope for my future.
    Thank you

    The work that you do...the life that you're sharing with us.. I just want to thank you for everything. Each Sunday I'm hoping to see a notification from RUclips that the video is ready to be watched. For me it's quite surprising that I will be pleased to watch some couple with 2 kids just leaving their lifes.. But I can assure you that you offer always something new ! Just keep going and Stef! Please stop being so worried.. you are amazing :)

    I don't comment very often, but I decided to make an exception especially since you didn't have a comment section for so very long.
    I'm a big fan of your videos. I love the quality of them and your constant efforts into improving them ever so subtly every week.
    Your success is all down to the long hours you've all put into making these videos, editing them, and creating an actual story out of each of them. It's easy to film a challenge video, make a few cuts and slap on a clickbait title on it. But what you do is an actual art form. It also makes me happy that your hard work and dedication paid off in a way that enabled you to have your own home. It's not often that quality is recognized and awarded, (these days it is stupidity that is praised and that gets the attention of people) and I'm really glad for you that you found the recognition you deserve.
    P.S. When I saw you Stef in the kitchen at 10.14 and you said you had something new to show us for a second I hoped you were going to shows improved latte art. I really miss that segment in your videos. 🙂

    You guys deserve all the good things that have been happening! I remember when you were discouraged about your channel and when things were slow, but you kept going and somehow got even better. So happy for you all. I loved Ru's delayed reaction to getting "hurt" in the intro, and Hannah I totally agree with loving watching 2 yr olds finding wonder in everything. I'm going to be sad when this last baby of mine grows up.

  • @Em-fe5zj
    @Em-fe5zj 5 лет назад +1

    It’s fine to be proud, lets admit it your probably one of the only youtubers out there who know more about a camera than its on and off button. No one is looking at this and thinking its all luck you can really tell the hard work that went into it, your not just stringing a bunch of iPhone clips together, its a cinematic masterpiece that always comes with narrative beyond the obvious visuals

  • @theworldofgabriela

    You are a phenomenal very talented determinist Steph who deserves accolades .. the still reflection overlaying Blighty's rolling countryside just one haunting image in a succession of superb filming you manage to spoil us with unfathomably each upload . Coupled with the exceptional quality of camerawork, editing , education not to mention outstanding wit and good looks .. seriously - you should feel proud ( and okay , if not all the time please allow yourself a little burst now and then ) .. Surely success is inner contentment and raising our children to have inner contentment .. Random thought delicious George reminds me of an Otter. Thank you .

    Thank you for this video. I've been feeling a tad fed up recently. I don't have a career, I haven't been to uni (and I doubt I'm clever enough to either), members of my family are achieving greatly in their careers but then like my husband says to me, I DON'T have to have a career, a job is fine.
    I know I'm being silly with it, I should take a step back and look at my two amazing sons I've raised, one of whom is at uni now and the other at sixth form doing his A-levels. I guess the hung is for me, is that this is now like my time. I've always put anything I've wanted to do on the back burner so I could be there for my boys, now I've got the opportunity to do what I want to do, I don't know what that is!
    I started making vlogs this time a year ago, I love doing them but they just don't seem to be very popular but then like you say, "It's not about the numbers, it's about me enjoying making them", I've loved teaching myself how to use the editing software.
    So, anyway, thank you so much for your little perseverance talk, it's what I needed to hear.
    Another great video too, as always! 😊

Your family is amazing and you help not only calm my brain but make me laugh. Cheers for that. 🤪xxx

    Feel like you need a HR person to tell you that your doing a great job, your hard work is paying off and your really deserve the good publicity. Also that you deserve a vacation after all the hard work with the house and great videos recently. But as you are a youtuber, you don't have a HR person next to you. So here you go - don't feel bad about being proud and take a vacation!
