I can’t help but think whenever I am watching your videos, how much Grayson and Rufus will treasure these when they are older. You have left them a truly wonderful gift.
What they will love most - hearing their voices! Mum, dad, their relatives. The faces you remember but the voices, you forget them so easily and it hurts so bad!
I have to comment on this. As a classicist who is graduating from university, god Zeus bless u Stef for bringing a bit of mythology into this video. You go back to the roots of Grecee, u cherish and respect it's past. You teach your viewers about the culture that built Europe. The animation gives it even deeper meaning. To me life is about taking from the past and make it work for the future. I wish the future of RUclips was as smart and thoughtful as your vision. Another amazing job 🕊
Grayson and Stephs conversation about marrying Grandma was so funny! Almost lost it when Grayson pointed out that she even broke up with Grandad as if it was so she could marry him! LOL
This was a throw back to your Australia Vlogs when you told the hairdresser you worked on RUclips, and she said yea she loves RUclips because she watches catfights and you were mortified, but now you filmed it and admired it! Full circle moment lol, now she may watch your vlogs!
I’m sitting on a subway in Seoul watching this and I nearly missed my stop, I felt like I fell into a dream world. This one was incredibly cinematic and beautiful, thank you all so so much for your hard work.
Wow. It continues to amaze me how you show such beauty in EVERYTHING. Obviously this particular location is stunning but you translate the real and everyday moments in life that could be considered so 'normal' and you capture it all in such a mesmerising and awe inspiring way. Your videos always transport me to something akin to a dream whilst also bringing me earth and really opening my eyes to appreciating all that I (we) have. Thank you x
You have reinvented "cool" Stef. As a millennial and just drowning in an ocean of stereotypes, I have nothing but respect for your version of cool. Your passion for filming stories we all cherish every week and the great music that accompanies it. Sincerely, The OG fan of the Michalaks
It's so easy to tell that the man behind the camera loves the people he films. Stef you capture Hannah as if you are in absolute awe at her and so through your lens we see your loving perspective, it's amazing to watch
Your videos continue to amaze me! The shots, editing, storytelling! The brands that work with you are extremely lucky - your content is on a whole other level to so much of the content that is uploaded to this platform! 💛
The artistry here, my god.... Stef, you are so talented! It’s such a privilege to watch your skills strengthen and evolve over time. Your hard work and dedication shows! I always love your videos, but this one has left me dumbfounded in awe.
I haven't yet found any other family channel that exceeds the level of cinematography and depth of capturing stories as yours. Have been watching for about 3 years now and I find it hard to believe why more people haven't found this channel yet and subscribed. I adore you guys❤️
I actually don't even know anymore how to articulate how incredible these videos are. This was just pure beauty, in every shot and every second. Your love for your family actually shines through your way of filming them.
Every Sunday when I click onto your channel. I do not feel as if I'm wasting my time watching a trivial day in the life you tube video. I enjoy those videos don't get me wrong. But when I click off one of your videos, there is no comparison. I feel as if I am watching a short film each week, full of meaning and feeling and so much more than just pure enjoyment. I do not click on your videos and have them playing in the background. I click onto them, make them full screen and get ready to watch a film. A film that shows how much dedication goes into the editing process. You make your videos seem like big budget films that usually take years to make.. and you are churning them out each week.
Stef & Hannah, Thank you so much for making a sacrifice and choosing to use the music you do. I really felt every single piece of music in this weeks vlog fitted so perfectly and made me feel a fair few emotions. Thank you for introducing us to so many incredible lesser known artists over the years, I love discovering people through your vlogs. I've just binged on Harrison Storm this week, and it really helped me out of a low place, so thank you! I've been watching your vlogs since Grayson was around Roo's age and crave for these perfectly made little films every week
Hannah, I don´t know what you´re doing, if it´s the time you spend doing things just for yourself, but in the last videos you are just glowing. Plus we get to see you through Stef´s eyes...let me just tell you, you´re becoming my girl crush! :)
I really really loved the ending! I sometimes think the sit down and chat section makes the whole video seem a bit less artisitc, so I think doing the outro and following it with a few more shots is a really nice idea!
Im not sure how to say this without sounding cheesy, but you are a master filmmaker. Your compositions, use of lighting, and originality are breathtaking. Your hard work pays off, Stef.
You both look so fit! Would you mind sharing what you eat on a daily basis and your workout routine? Maybe on Hannah’s channel? I would also be interested in what Grayson eats
I can’t even find the right adjective........ just so magical . It’s mad how you can tell how much u love your wife when you film her :). Wow every moment captured beautifully . Poor Gray almost gave himself a black eye .. I’m sorry I laughed :(. But my 4 year old does this all the time and its their shocked look that creases me up . I’m a terrible person I know . Xx
Absolutely howling at Grayson hitting himself in the face 😂 sorry that sounds so bad! Bless him! Fab again Stef and Hannah! Your channel makes my week xx
You nailed it! The editing, the directing, and the touchable, breathble texture! What a treasure for your family to treasure always...Thank you for sharing it with all of us
Had to stop the video just to say how amazing it is. Hope you realise your hard work pays off every week, absolutely adore watching them so much appreciation for you guys
This is absolutely brilliant, i've been subscribed since 2014 and I never miss a video. Every week I think wow, this is the best video yet but every video just keeps getting better ?!
A refreshing revisit from my time travelling Europe in 1979. Ended up sleeping on the most eastern beach of Crete in October. Reading John Fowles, The Magus, and Albert Camus* The Myth of Sisyphus. In the end I ended up in southern Spain for 40 years.
Happy mother's day to Hannah and also grandma who helped you guys with the kids! Thanks for all that mums and grandmas do! We would be lost without you!
God why must I always cry when I watch you guys' videos... there isn't a single one that doesn't emotion me to my core! I am watching a european short movie every time. So beautiful, so well done, "love you guyz" lol
Beautiful. Simply perfection. This was incredible, everything from the music to all the gorgeous shots, the humor, the history - I loved every second of it!
This vlog was beautifully put together, what an art Stef! Thank you for sharing these intimate moments, it really does bring a smile to my face. Can't wait to see what you have next installed and I'm really loving the illustrations and stories, along with the little bits of history!
Your videos have become so visually stunning, not to mention the music choices. You produce such high quality content that’s so rare on RUclips nowadays. Thank you for letting us see your gorgeous family.
Loved this weeks video! Grayson is such happy little boy. I'm a graphic designer and the composition of the horse and carriage made warm and fuzzy. Always look forward to a Sunday!
Absolutely loved this week (I do every week) but it really was one of your most beautiful edits. Grayson and Rufus are going to cherish these videos when they’re older.
I love the little character Grayson is growing into, cannot believe I have watched you guys since before he was born, such a special thing that you share with us all x
I loved Crete, we did a day trip to a little island off the coast called spinalonga which was used as a leprosy colony back in the day... everything was kept as it was and it was so interesting and such a beautiful place with a beautiful story
My husband and I are going to have our first child in November. Your family is such a loving and down to earth example. Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with your subscribers!
I grew up in the town that you stayed before moving to England a few years ago. Thank you for the glimpse through your lens. Artful as ever. The municipality need to hire you for the next promo video! Hope you enjoyed your time there.
I’m currently studying media production at uni and someday wish to produce content at this level, it’s honestly stunning and different to the majority of other youtubers and videos out there. On a Sunday whenever you post a video it’s just that little bit of peace to watch them and escape from the stress of exams, uni work and general life thank you!
So lovely ❤️ You somehow captured what it feels like to be on vacation in such a beautiful and calming place. Thank you for taking all of us with you, I felt like I was there in Greece for the past 28 minutes :)
Oh yes, one more adorable addition to the Michalaks would be it! (...I'm not even half way through the video now and, again, I'm in awe of your cinematography skills..)
nothing makes me want a family more than watching your vlogs. ive suffered severely with my mental health for six years now and spent most of that time wishing i was dead, but your vlogs have given me hope. i want to fight for my future, i want life and children and happiness. thank you!
i’ve recently fallen in love with your videos. these films you take the time to perfectly craft every week are so absolutely stunning. they capture raw daily life so well, all the shots and “scenes” are so sof incredible. you have such an amazing eye for the camera, and i genuinely can’t wait until i see your name on the big screen. if i ever made a film, this is what i would want it to look like, 100%. it’s so so breathtakingly beautiful, and it makes some renown cinematographers look shitty in comparison. i won’t stop watching your videos anytime soon, and i hope you don’t stop making them either. 💖
I loved the addition of the Greek stories. You have such a beautiful way of tying everything all together! Another great Sunday at the church of The Michalaks!
Allways waiting for this fresh breeze in Youtubbe. All the rest family vlog are the same. Love you all. Thanks for sharing G'laughs, happy children you have!
every week, I am looking forward for sunday, for a new Michalaks video. or i should say, a Michalak's episode. each episode has humor, dedication, love, emotions and wisdom. the way you both capture, and edit... it is pure art. eventhough it's just a few days of your week. you are both so inspiring, i look up to you. thank you for sharing!! with love, xoxo
Congrats from a Greek fan not only for your videos but for the way you love us and you studied so hard to introduce us to Greek mythology. Here Greek you tubers don't even care.....love you guys
How much thought and time you put into these videos really shines through. They’re never any less than amazingly beautiful. And they make me absolutely howl with laughter. “That’s such a dad sneeze.. so loud and unnecessary” 🤣 and Grayson with that fish eye - equal parts hilarious, disgusting and the most amusing thing I’ve seen in a long time... so much so that I can’t stop watching it over and over 😂😂❤️
Omg stet I can’t believe how beautiful this was, it’s so amazing to see you trying more and more things and learning and developing each week. Every shot had so much emotion too and having the Greek mythology stories intertwined worked so well with the clips of all of you! I wish I could like it 100 times. Also I’m amazed by watching the cat fight slowed down and the way they move, and I’m amazed that you even thought to do that. Xxx
I can’t help but think whenever I am watching your videos, how much Grayson and Rufus will treasure these when they are older. You have left them a truly wonderful gift.
I think about this everytime I watch one of their videos. It must make all their hard work feel worth it.
What they will love most - hearing their voices! Mum, dad, their relatives. The faces you remember but the voices, you forget them so easily and it hurts so bad!
“that’s such a dad sneeze... so loud and unnecessary” 😂😂
I always can see how much you love Hannah through your lens
Ki Yes that's so so beautiful
Whilst watching this my boyfriend looked over and said "what movie is that?" and i think that summarises your talent perfectly Stef
Beth Downing mine just said the same too!
When Grayson hits himself in the face 😂 brilliant in slow motion..
I have to comment on this. As a classicist who is graduating from university, god Zeus bless u Stef for bringing a bit of mythology into this video.

To me life is about taking from the past and make it work for the future. I wish the future of RUclips was as smart and thoughtful as your vision. Another amazing job 🕊
Well said! I love history and the Greek mythology especially. 😊
Grayson and Stephs conversation about marrying Grandma was so funny! Almost lost it when Grayson pointed out that she even broke up with Grandad as if it was so she could marry him! LOL
This was a throw back to your Australia Vlogs when you told the hairdresser you worked on RUclips, and she said yea she loves RUclips because she watches catfights and you were mortified, but now you filmed it and admired it! Full circle moment lol, now she may watch your vlogs!
I’m sitting on a subway in Seoul watching this and I nearly missed my stop, I felt like I fell into a dream world. This one was incredibly cinematic and beautiful, thank you all so so much for your hard work.
Grace Healy, I agree. The last few minutes reminded me so strongly of my favorite Korean drama, “Goblin”, that I got a little misty-eyed.
I absolutely loved the bit about marrying Grandma. That is hilarious 🤣
Wow. It continues to amaze me how you show such beauty in EVERYTHING. Obviously this particular location is stunning but you translate the real and everyday moments in life that could be considered so 'normal' and you capture it all in such a mesmerising and awe inspiring way.

I am always happy after watching one of your films, because they truly are art.Thank you
It's so easy to tell that the man behind the camera loves the people he films. Stef you capture Hannah as if you are in absolute awe at her and so through your lens we see your loving perspective, it's amazing to watch
Hannah your figure’s bloody amazing!
Hannah Corr definitely, but Stefs too!
Anna Lerch sorry, yes of course! They both look great❣️
Stef your illustrations are absolutely beautiful ❤️😭

The way Steff films and edits shots of Hannah, gosh you can just tell how much he adores her.
I actually don't even know anymore how to articulate how incredible these videos are. This was just pure beauty, in every shot and every second. Your love for your family actually shines through your way of filming them.
STEF OMG! That bit about the Minotaur had me shook... the music and the story held so much suspense! You are such an artist!

You guys are just what I want to be when I grow up
Watching your videos makes me feel safe. They are always so pure and enjoyable, and there isn’t another creator that evokes the same feelings.
“Bedtime is it”
“Nooo”
“Well stop being annoying then” 😂😂
Literally my dad 😂
As a Greek, this video gives me chills. Thanks guys for making it look as beautiful as it is. And yes, drivers in Greece are maniacs.
its so delightful to watch graysons humor develop every video
You both look so fit! Would you mind sharing what you eat on a daily basis and your workout routine? Maybe on Hannah’s channel? I would also be interested in what Grayson eats
I can’t even find the right adjective........ just so magical . It’s mad how you can tell how much u love your wife when you film her :). Wow every moment captured beautifully .

I agree!!
The bit at the end with Grayson talking about marrying his Grandma...amazing.
That storytelling absolutely got my WING SNATCHED .
A refreshing revisit from my time travelling Europe in 1979. Ended up sleeping on the most eastern beach of Crete in October. Reading John Fowles, The Magus, and Albert Camus* The Myth of Sisyphus. In the end I ended up in southern Spain for 40 years.
Dad sneeze 😂 this video was beautiful and calming to watch. Also loved the bits of Greek mythology 👍👍👍
Happy mother's day to Hannah and also grandma who helped you guys with the kids! Thanks for all that mums and grandmas do! We would be lost without you!
One of your loveliest videos Stef.

Beautiful once again, and the videos get better and better. Thank you for the peek into the Crete, you bring out the beauty every time!
Hannah has a really good fashion sense, everything she was wearing I was like "ooo I love that"!
I can't get over how grown up grayson is you guys must be so proud of him
Your videos have become so visually stunning, not to mention the music choices. You produce such high quality content that’s so rare on RUclips nowadays. Thank you for letting us see your gorgeous family.

These videos make me so happy and excited to travel the world. Amazing work Stef, there's no one else on youtube that make videos to this standard! 💕
Loved this weeks video! Grayson is such happy little boy. I'm a graphic designer and the composition of the horse and carriage made warm and fuzzy. Always look forward to a Sunday!
One of my new favorite videos from you guys!! I really enjoyed the mythological story and illustrations!
' i want to marry a grandma' life goals right there Grayson.
Don´t we just LOVE this family and their videos?? YES SIR!! Great Job!
Absolutely loved this week (I do every week) but it really was one of your most beautiful edits. Grayson and Rufus are going to cherish these videos when they’re older.

I loved Crete, we did a day trip to a little island off the coast called spinalonga which was used as a leprosy colony back in the day... everything was kept as it was and it was so interesting and such a beautiful place with a beautiful story
Your talent for editing and great eye for details never ceases to amaze me! Loved how you included the legend about Deadalus and Icarus!
Amazing video, truly enjoy seeing the awesome family moments and wonderful personalities. The visuals, sound, and editing is all soooo good each week.
Honestly stunned at this! This is beautiful and such an amazing video for your kids to look back on
This video is perfection and I haven’t even watched all of it yet
My husband and I are going to have our first child in November. Your family is such a loving and down to earth example. Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with your subscribers!
Love this so much and hearing the story of the Boy Who Flew Too Close to the Sun. Excellent video once again Stef. Much love.
“How the Minotaur died” Made me wanna cry, I didn’t but I feel like I could’ve! This is why I really love your vlogs guys it’s always more than!
Every single week. Smashing it. I love you guys. Xx
Every single second of this video is gold. Honestly, blown away.
So stunning as always. I look forward to your videos every week. They never disappoint!

Oh wow this is gorgeous, Grayson and Rufus are SO lucky to have videos like these to look back on when they're older

On a Sunday whenever you post a video it’s just that little bit of peace to watch them and escape from the stress of exams, uni work and general life thank you!
Blown away by how beautiful and moving this is...I think it's your best work yet.
This is probably one of my favourite videos! Poor Grayson getting a ball to the eye but it did make me laugh so much! He’s so funny!
What a talented family. I enjoy watching these amazing and creative videos every Sunday. Thanks, Michalaks.
x
I bloody love your art! Thank you Michalaks! ❤
So lovely ❤️ You somehow captured what it feels like to be on vacation in such a beautiful and calming place. Thank you for taking all of us with you, I felt like I was there in Greece for the past 28 minutes :)
This was so wonderful! One of your best. It was so beautifully shot and edited. Great work!
I could listen to your stories all day...
Oh yes, one more adorable addition to the Michalaks would be it! (...I'm not even half way through the video now and, again, I'm in awe of your cinematography skills..)
This is a work of art, Stef you are incredibly talented!
nothing makes me want a family more than watching your vlogs. ive suffered severely with my mental health for six years now and spent most of that time wishing i was dead, but your vlogs have given me hope. i want to fight for my future, i want life and children and happiness. thank you!

"no I think about grandma marrying"
"no you can't marry grandma, grayson"
"yes i can!"
😂😂
I loved the addition of the Greek stories. You have such a beautiful way of tying everything all together! Another great Sunday at the church of The Michalaks!
I'm just in awe of the quality of this. This is cinematography genius!
Allways waiting for this fresh breeze in Youtubbe. All the rest family vlog are the same. Love you all. Thanks for sharing G'laughs, happy children you have!
