I didn't understand the negativity surrounding your move, I was so excited for you guys, and being able to explore a new city through your vlogs. I think some people struggle to be happy for any one that does well.
People struggling to be happy themselves is exactly the root of this negativity. You see this all the time with youtubers. Some people tend to be so jealous that they strike out only to make themselves feel better. It won't work for them either. You get back what you give out in life. I've learned this myself.
Miss Tracey Exactly I was watching Sami Marie vlogs and viewer said she was unsubscribing because she couldn't relate because Sami was "showey" and always going out for meals ! and she missed the old Sami and it boils down to jealousy it makes me wonder how they react when family or friends do well
This is so true. I was so excited to see your new house. Checked every day on Hannahs channel if maybe she put something up that features the new house. Stay positive guys! You are awesome. Ignore those twats who don't see your awesomeness.
Well, its not negativity, its nostalgica. The fact they have these kind of feelings is the reason why the editing is so damn good. Its full of emotion. Nostalgic feelings = emotions.
well, obviously you've changed, that's literally what people do? That's what life's about to me, anyway. It'd be sad if you didn't change over the years. You've got my full support. xxxx
You look so so happy living in Bath! Don't let strangers on the internet make you feel sad. I'm exited for all your new adventures and I feel very lucky that you decided to share your life with us. Love from Germany
you're little analogy about how coming back to your old place was like going to see an old friend and they just weren't the same anymore. man that hit me hard. keep moving up folks
Yes you've changed. Since I've been watching your videos you've changed into a family of three and now soon changing into a family of four. All changes has been positive it's lovely to watch this change.
I love the conversation you both had about TH-cam and the slowest pace, it really got me thinking. And the way Stef doesn't care about not being relatable is truly inspiring :)
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I find it so shocking when you talk about negative comments. I feel this community is so lovely and it's such a shame that people don't understand that life isn't a constant and there's often a million things you're not aware of going on. Love the new house and can't wait to keep watching ♥️
Hannah Compton I feel the same I always read all the comments and never or rarely read any bad comments and they should ignore them and focus on all the good comments;)
So bittersweet seeing you standing in your empty living room reflecting on all of the amazing memories the three of you created in that space.. Totally understandable as to why it would be a hard space to leave behind. But the memories you take with you, & have also been so beautifully recorded forever in your incredible videos! Please ignore the irritating, bitter & jealous people who just talk rubbish.. They're clearly a bad judge of character! You guys are such genuine & kind people. I'll never get why people feel the need to share their unnecessary negative opinions. Love you guys & all you do 🙌🏼♥️
What's really funny to me is that apart from your personalities, and your sense of humor, you've never been relatable to me. I live in Argentina, I'm not married, and I don't have a child. I don't watch you because I sympathise with a young couple struggling in London and raising a child, I watch you because you make me laugh and forget about my issues for half an hour. So thank you Hannah and Stef, for being completely un-relatable.
Ohh, and let me add, I also watch you because this is high quality content. There are not many youtubers out there who can tell a story, film it beautifully, edit it impecably and add great music with no ukeleles in sight. I love your channel Hannah and Stef!!
Yep, I'm still a teenager so I am not yet married nor do I have a child which makes this beautiful family very un-relatable for me haha! I just love the vlogs so much. They bring me a strange sense of comfort and calmness, especially when I watch them in the evening.
"Hannah's now 40 and she's still scared of being downstairs on her own" lol 😂😂 Lol I am a mother of two and still run up my stairs like Usain bolt once I've turned all the lights off!
Ellie Loves Me too. My hubby constantly takes the micky out of me lol....That feeling when you turn all the lights off and run quickly into your room before the darkness can consume you haha
🤣🤣 Yeah lol I normally make my boyfriend walk behind me obviously so no one tries to grab my legs haha but then he likes to freak me out even more by chasing me up the stairs lol it's not ideal when your carrying a cup of tea 🤣🤣🤣
I love sundays! Watching you has been a sunday morning ritual for me and my partner for two years now. It's been a pleasure to follow you throughout the years and see you change :) - all the best and lots of love to you guys
Why would I waste half an hour every week to watch someone I 'related' to ?? What a monotonous and lazy way to have my life confirmed back to me. I started initially watching due to some similarities - same aged sons, living a few suburbs from you in London - but I've stayed two and a half years even though our lives have diverged significantly (second savage predates the son, moved across the world to Sydney) because I adore both Hannah and Stef's version of life - I want (I need) to see the world through their eyes occasionally, for all the silky beauty, raw parenting, shit days, awesome days and emotional days they have. Thank you for providing a completely unrelatable and therefore completely entertaining version of life that will never be mine in any way, shape or form and therefore letting me share in something I would never otherwise get to see, unless you decided to upload it.
ive been watching you guys for ages now,ive never commented down here but i thought id say i think moving to bath is such a great thing you guys chose to do ,i cant wait to see your life unfold in this new chapter and i love how different your vlogs are pslove the sarcasm i thnk thats where people dont understand but never change
Ah, so nice to get to say goodbye to your old flat, which seems very familiar after a couple of years worth of watching on a Sunday morning. Very evocative montage :-) (I hope you put the broom round before you left haha!)
I love how atmospheric the videos have been since your move. You can feel the quiet. It's really comforting for some reason. Damn. Why did I move to the West Midlands from London and not Bath? Grayson is so sweet I can't wait to see how he reacts to his new sibling. My eldest was great when both of her brothers were born. But my middle one absolutely hated his little brother for the first few months. He would call him 'Mummy's thing' and tell us to 'put it back'. He was only just 2 though and these days they are best of friends. A due date of 31st August is an interesting one. Are you hoping they will come a day late so they are the oldest in their school year? One of mine is 28th August and has coped so well with school, despite having to start full time school just days after turning 4. But I wish he'd had another year at home and in nursery. Maybe cross your legs on 31st Hannah 😂 Thanks for another awesome video x
Be yourself; I've found on my channel we act 100% how we are now but it took us a long time to realize that in the middle of saying something when you have to think "should I keep this in" those are the moments you should 100% keep in💕 don't be afraid of being you just because a few people don't like it or have something to say about it. I promise you'll feel 1000x better! I know I do ❤️
12:06 Totally agree with the slowest pace idea in situations such as those but to perhaps open a discussion : sometimes that ideology can be taken too far and turn into an elitist society and end up saying f*** you to people who don't keep up with the fast runners
I'm having a really shitty day and watching this has really cheered me up, thank you! Also just wanted to say that you two are two of the most genuine people on TH-cam and anyone who thinks you're putting on an act or being fake is just jealous of your success
I really dont understand those who press unlike!!! just dont press any button and leave these people alone! Steph and Hannah deserve more viewers and more subs for all the effort that goes on to their videos and they are fun and REAL people!!
Hope you guys are settling into Bath life. Check out 'Alice Park'. It is fairly small, but has a little track where G can take his bike or scooter. I grew up going to that park and took my 3 year old brother yesterday and he always loves it!! They also have a little cafe and do great hot chocolate! So good to see you guys so happy x
I loved this week's video! I really enjoyed that you incorporated more chatting into the vlog, it was a nice balance between the two. I much prefer when you guys chat and talk about real things - it's more relateable, and then you have an artistic style that not many other vloggers have 👍👍👍 plus how GLAD was Stef when he was in the ball bit ☺️☺️☺️
Absolutely enjoy how you guys keep it real and aren't of afraid of talking about the naked truth, glad you touch upon both aspects whether controversial or not. Will forever continue watching because of that alone.
I love that you have moved because its really interesting watching you explore and find new places to go💖so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago,I find your 'vlogs' so soothing and funny,it always make me giggle you car chats too 💓
What an emotionally raw start - I was crying. But tears of joy, for the new chapter your lives are now heading into. So happy for your new home, new baby in the future and the journey you will be embarking on. Be you Michalak's, be you.
I've been watching for about a year now. 24, English, living in Western Canada. I love your videos. Such attention to detail and hard work... I love the "silkies" but also just the clever angles, the good music, and funny cartoons added in the edits. Thank you for giving us a moment to slow down once a week. I just wanted to say that I am really excited for your family's next chapter - as difficult as change is - a beautiful city, and a little garden all of your own, will give you and your little ones countless memories. Take care!
31st of August was my due date and my parents were going to call me Diana because it was going to be the 1st anniversary of Princess Diana's death. How grim is that? Luckily for me I was born four weeks early
I have to admit that I had to wipe away a sneaky little tear, when Stef said that he will miss their old place because he really learned to be happy there. I felt the same way about our last home in Munich, before we moved to Tennessee. It's so hard to leave a place where you've gone through change and come out a new and better self. It's brave to start again somewhere new. It's inevitable usually but still takes courage. And the part about arranging everything in life around the slowest people. So true! And so frustrating! Especially when it comes to ANY political discussion. I don't even want to say "debate" because a debate is impossible to have with a stupid person. They don't even realize when they're wrong and can't accept that other people might just have a different opinion. I read this quote somewhere, I don't know who said it but it is so true: "It is hard to have a constructive conversation with a smart person who doesn't share your opinion. But it is absolutely impossible to have a discussion with a stupid person." I can't wait to see more of Bath. It seems like everyone who visits it instantly falls in love with the place. I hope you're going to be happy there.
I love seeing these vlogs in your new place! Please don't worry about filtering yourselves too much. One of the reasons I love you guys is because you don't water yourselves down, and are people I can eyeroll along with at cringeworthy things. You guys are "my people". Thank you!
The fact that someone might have any opinion on the living decisions of someone else's family never even occurred to me when watching last week. The never ending entitlement people feel to weigh in on social media is just baffling. Their move, their family, their decision - how is there any other way to look at it?
I was the exact same when I moved but you have these blogs full of memories and thoughts that you had inside that home which you can look back on and watch whenever you want and you can make so many more memories in your new house
Really enjoyed this vlog!! One point to mention though, I watch Hannah's channel too (as I'm sure lots of others do!) and I found it a little frustrating to watch her vlog again in the first 7 mins or so... otherwise so great again!x
Emily F I watch Hannah too. I must be a bit dim as I can't see where the similar bits are. Her Pals and Pizza one? The first 7 mins of both are entirely different. I'm thoroughly confused but might just be me
It's amazing how quickly you have adjusted to your new life's in Bath,all that space and the bonus of a garden it so suits you all. Don't change the way you do things that's why I love you all.x
"Why is he cycling in the middle of the road?" "Shall we stop and ask him?" "She has nice hair." "No she doesn't." I live for these quick sarky comments you make at eachother, relationship goalz
Oh my gosh, I so relate with your conversation at 12:30. I've been documenting my life since 1999 (I like to say I took something private, made it public and subsequently my profession) and the projection I've had to deal with still makes an impression. Stef's take that you need to take the 'slowest' into consideration with what you share/create makes so much sense to me. I'm happy with how you still aim to elevate your work with visual and other nuances. Makes for such an enjoyable part of my Sunday.
The whole part where stef was talking about the house and the memories they shared there just brought tears in my eyes.I recently shifted to another city and i know how that feels.Such a beautiful family.
Hi there! I just want to tell you, that I feel so lucky for finding such a nice, beautiful home for your little family. And I am pretty thankful to be able to be part of your family journey! Thanx a lot - big hugs form Berlin, Hella
I honestly cannot believe how anyone can comment something negative on your videos! I find it hard to even articulate how much I appreciate your content, because I just love it so much. You are an amazing family, I find it beautiful to see you "grow"to the family that you are now, and I look forward to every video on your journey :) Can't wait for Baby number 2!
loved the part where you were speaking in the old house. so many memories from places lived before, and yet when we take our things, everythjng shifts. I cleaned out a house after 9 yrs a couple of yrs ago. it seemed meaningless, suddenly, and yet it was my everything for so long.
It's a fair point that things are half price outside of London but I guess you guys will be on the same income . If we were to leave London our salaries would also half and jobs are harder to find, and in Bath for example rents are still pretty high.
Loved loved loved the part in the old flat. Made me emotional! And was lovely to just listen to you guys chat. Completely agree about the slowest pace ... I often worry too much about what I say on camera but I've tried to stop recently. What's the point in making videos if it's not truly me? Keep up the amazing work guys. You seem so happy since the move xxx
People and families grow and change... that is pretty much what real living is about.... learning, growing, changing and most of all loving! I'm enjoying that you share your process.... keep moving forward, apology (explanation) is wasted on those that don't look back and embrace their memories while also learning to embrace the unknown that comes with moving forward. I, for one, treasure your vlogs!
Stef and Hannah, you have inspired me! I am wanting moving from a big town in New Zealand to a smaller town. I'm not liking to move all my stuff to a different town but these vlogs have encouraged me to step out and try my best. Thank you! I am very excited for your new journey. new person coming into the vlogs. so happy to keep watching on Monday mornings 😍❤ love you guys xxxx
Hey Stef and Hannah, I absolutely love your videos and your little family and i think you definitely deserve to live in a bigger and nicer place! I never comment, and I wouldn't ever post a negative comment. However, I think being surprised of you moving into such a big and beautiful home, when you've been talking about being almst poor and not being able to afford housing in london, is a completely normal reaction. And I mean being surprised without any judgement! So I think it's not fair to many of your subscribers to tell them they're stupid. Most of us will still enjoy and watch your videos, be happy for you and support you! I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and that I don't want this to be perceived as negativity! Love from Berlin!
Sobbed my heart out watching you in your old house with all the memories, feel like I've walked and travelled your whole journey with you from the pregnancy updates to bringing Grayson home and all that has happened ever since ❤️ how amazing is it though that you have so many of these memories on camera!!
I loved everything about this 27 minutes and 44 seconds. You were both absolutely right about what we share on TH-cam. It is such a catch 22. Your editing skills are just phenomenal. Thank you for bringing this to our screens!
love watching your weekly videos, your honesty, your gorgeous family and the beautiful art shots you take. Loved the view of Bath it looks amazing, thank you
Where you are sat on the bench I've sat many a time and you can never get over how breathtaking that view over Bath is . I hope you're settling in well to your new home and you find a lovely nursery for Grayson xxx
I am so happy for your growing family, its truly wonderful to watch your lives move forward. I don't understand why people think they're entitled to have opinions on the paths you choose. Your move was right for you and you've got a gorgeous new home in a great town. Congratulations to you all.
I think the London bashing is slightly frustrating as you use to get angry it was not affordable to buy there which gave the impression you would of if you could have, even if that was not the case. I think it's wonderful you have moved and seem incredibly happy and that's lovely, but maybe be kinder to London and your good times there which have been a huge part of where your life is going now. Bad things happen everywhere and pollution which although better where you are still exists, I do not live in London although I am from there, it's certainly not perfect by any sense of the imagination but like all capital cities it's hectic, noisy etc, I am saying this not to be unkind as I absolutely love your vlogs, I just think it's coming across poorly and possibly only in my mind, you make wonderful short films which are a joy to watch and you work obviously very very hard, I know that you have both had very tough times in life and it's not just been given to you on a plate but through work and determination. I hope this comment will be read with no malice intended as none has been meant. Keep up the brilliant work and enjoy this new chapter of your lives.❤️
Imagine all the history that has taken place on those cobbled streets and old buildings. I'm honestly so happy for your guys' move, the chance for new beginnings and being able to explore. I really enjoy watching your lives unfold through these cinematographic videos you call "vlogs". Cheers.
It's kind of annoying having to basically rewatch Hannah's vlog at the beginning of this one... obviously you can't always get new footage for two vlogs every single week but yeah just some feedback
Thanks you , Michalaks for these weekly vlogs. Came across your channel a few weeks ago, and found myself going back to watching your older ones. As a spoonie, who can rarely get out of bed and life a productive life, I live vicariously through your experiences. Keep up the great work. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Sooo glad you're loving Bath, it is my favourite city so I spend loads of time there. Your house is stunning also, its clear to me that you always want to make Grayson proud and I wish you all the best with everything to come!! (Including Baby no.2!) x
Please never water yourselves down!!! This blog felt like it went so quick was so absorbed!! Can not believe how different the London flat looked with nothing in it and the emotion that came through the lense!!! Love you guys from Australia 🇦🇺
I just have to mention, that shot with the transition between the full and empty house, yes Stef! I appreciate and respect the effort put into that a lot, especially since this is a 'vlog' #planningahead, the amount of thought and skill put into these 'everyday films' is insane. #stefandthemichalaksandthesevideosarepartlywhyinowstudyfilm #thankyou #youalwaysbrightenmyday☺ x
Love hanging out with you guys, so excited for all the changes. Let's not let this space become anything but what you deserve, absolute positivity! Love from Mexico!💕
I am so excited for this new adventure! You guys are so amazing and your vlogs connect to a part of my heart that I didn't think the world understood. I left from London two years ago and I do miss it but seeing the way you handle this and happily remember the love your London house gave you, makes me so happy. Endless well wishes for this amazing things to come
Theres an oliver bonas in Bristol Hannah! Another reason its worth a visit! Lived here for 8 years and yeah I think you guys would like the vibe, Clifton is very up your street, really worth a visit xx
When the satnav said lower Bristol road I burst into tears as I lived on that road and I'm missing it so much! Oh Bath you beauty! Pretty as ever guys! 👌🏻
I love the vibe of this vlog. I loved both Stef talking about the life of their old house and you both just sitting on the bench and chatting. It's all so beautifully real and emotional and I love it!
Another incredible vlog (or film), the perfect combination of thought provoking and funny. Although I have to say Harold's appearance was probably my highlight! I don't think you guys are unrelatable at all (but I forever adore your witty ways of responding to this), if anything - it's heartwarming to watch you grow and expand because we all know how hard you work and how deserving of the success you are. Moving to a beautiful new home isn't unrelatable, it's inspiring! Thank you for always being inspiring. It's the best feeling to come away from watching a vlog feeling inspired!
The feeling that view of Bath gave you...the one you usually get when going to the beach...I used to get that feeling when I went to the "bush" in South Africa (where I'm from)...but living in the US, I now get that feeling on Sundays...when I watch your videos and enjoy the absolute beauty of it!! Thank you for all the work you do to create my feeling!!
New baby is due the day after my own birthday! I'll take that as a gift to me ☺️I am endlessly happy for you all. Been watching your lives grow and change since before Grayson was born, and that growth and change is what keeps me watching. It's wonderful and intriguing to see real life being shared so openly and honestly and without holding back. Love to the four of you!
I love you guys. With you through thick and thin. May this next chapter of your life be full of growth, laughter, and adventure. Can't wait to see it unfolding. Best from NY!
I didn't understand the negativity surrounding your move, I was so excited for you guys, and being able to explore a new city through your vlogs. I think some people struggle to be happy for any one that does well.

This is so true. I was so excited to see your new house. Checked every day on Hannahs channel if maybe she put something up that features the new house. Stay positive guys! You are awesome. Ignore those twats who don't see your awesomeness.
Katie Snyder same, I was thrilled for a new adventure 🙄
Well, its not negativity, its nostalgica. The fact they have these kind of feelings is the reason why the editing is so damn good. Its full of emotion. Nostalgic feelings = emotions.
well, obviously you've changed, that's literally what people do? That's what life's about to me, anyway. It'd be sad if you didn't change over the years. You've got my full support. xxxx
klaraliontheroad exactly. Good to know we have some common sense and intelligent viewers here!! Nice comment
klaraliontheroad yes so true. if I didn't change day to day I'd still be fucking my life up. duh
This is so true!
No matter where you go or what you do, I will always watch and love The Michalaks
You look so so happy living in Bath! Don't let strangers on the internet make you feel sad. I'm exited for all your new adventures and I feel very lucky that you decided to share your life with us. Love from Germany
you're little analogy about how coming back to your old place was like going to see an old friend and they just weren't the same anymore. man that hit me hard. keep moving up folks
Yes you've changed. Since I've been watching your videos you've changed into a family of three and now soon changing into a family of four. All changes has been positive it's lovely to watch this change.
I love the conversation you both had about TH-cam and the slowest pace, it really got me thinking. And the way Stef doesn't care about not being relatable is truly inspiring :)
agreed!
Honestly cannot get enough of these videos, just beautiful to watch x
So excited to curl up with dessert and 'hang' with you guys! Lots of love from New Zealand!
Michaela S woo kiwi crew!
Yas New Zealand Michalak gang!
and me!
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I find it so shocking when you talk about negative comments. I feel this community is so lovely and it's such a shame that people don't understand that life isn't a constant and there's often a million things you're not aware of going on. Love the new house and can't wait to keep watching ♥️
It is but there was a lot of negativity and some jealousy last week which was nasty and surprising. Hopefully that's the end of it now.
Hannah Compton I feel the same I always read all the comments and never or rarely read any bad comments and they should ignore them and focus on all the good comments;)
at the bit where Stef is showing the old flat empty. I've actually got tears in my eyes 😢😢😢
New Mum Online when he said it was the first place he learnt to be happy 😢
Jess R Sutherland that killed me too. I watched the vlog about 7 times x
So bittersweet seeing you standing in your empty living room reflecting on all of the amazing memories the three of you created in that space..

I'm so happy for you guys, you seem so at home in Bath. You deserve all the happiness in the world xxx Beautiful video as always

same here. exactly the same and i've been here for years!
Celi Méndez I feel the exact same way! I'm single in college and I live in Texas! I love their vlogs because I like who they are as people!
Yep, I'm still a teenager so I am not yet married nor do I have a child which makes this beautiful family very un-relatable for me haha! I just love the vlogs so much. They bring me a strange sense of comfort and calmness, especially when I watch them in the evening.
I laughed so hard at "Harold!" 😂 stunning vlog, as always
"Hannah's now 40 and she's still scared of being downstairs on her own" lol 😂😂 Lol I am a mother of two and still run up my stairs like Usain bolt once I've turned all the lights off!
Ellie Loves Me too! 😂
Ellie Loves Me too. My hubby constantly takes the micky out of me lol....That feeling when you turn all the lights off and run quickly into your room before the darkness can consume you haha
Ellie Loves LOL me too 😂😂
🤣🤣 Yeah lol I normally make my boyfriend walk behind me obviously so no one tries to grab my legs haha but then he likes to freak me out even more by chasing me up the stairs lol it's not ideal when your carrying a cup of tea 🤣🤣🤣
Ellie Loves 😂😂😂
Why was it so sad to see the London place empty? I never even lived there? Wtf?
Daniela Laverde because it was beautifully captured on camera
I love sundays! Watching you has been a sunday morning ritual for me and my partner for two years now. It's been a pleasure to follow you throughout the years and see you change :) - all the best and lots of love to you guys

Jessie KH I love the way your brain works.
Change is totally natural in human life. You've got so much support behind you guys! Keep doing what you're doing!
Gonna save watching your video until I have 30 mins to myself. Doing this every Sunday for the last 2 years.
Favourite part about my Sunday! Planning to visit England in December, Bath is on our bucket list! Love from Sydney ❤️
ive been watching you guys for ages now,ive never commented down here but i thought id say i think moving to bath is such a great thing you guys chose to do ,i cant wait to see your life unfold in this new chapter and i love how different your vlogs are pslove the sarcasm i thnk thats where people dont understand but never change
I am honestly so so grateful for these videos! I've had such a miserable week and have been looking forward to this, thank you :)
Alice Gem Sending a little virtual hug ☺️
Ah, so nice to get to say goodbye to your old flat, which seems very familiar after a couple of years worth of watching on a Sunday morning. Very evocative montage :-) (I hope you put the broom round before you left haha!)
I love how atmospheric the videos have been since your move. You can feel the quiet. It's really comforting for some reason. Damn. Why did I move to the West Midlands from London and not Bath?
Grayson is so sweet I can't wait to see how he reacts to his new sibling. My eldest was great when both of her brothers were born. But my middle one absolutely hated his little brother for the first few months. He would call him 'Mummy's thing' and tell us to 'put it back'. He was only just 2 though and these days they are best of friends.
A due date of 31st August is an interesting one. Are you hoping they will come a day late so they are the oldest in their school year? One of mine is 28th August and has coped so well with school, despite having to start full time school just days after turning 4. But I wish he'd had another year at home and in nursery. Maybe cross your legs on 31st Hannah 😂
Thanks for another awesome video x
I frigging love your little family, can't wait for the new baby to arrive!
Be yourself; I've found on my channel we act 100% how we are now but it took us a long time to realize that in the middle of saying something when you have to think "should I keep this in" those are the moments you should 100% keep in💕 don't be afraid of being you just because a few people don't like it or have something to say about it. I promise you'll feel 1000x better! I know I do ❤️
12:06 Totally agree with the slowest pace idea in situations such as those but to perhaps open a discussion : sometimes that ideology can be taken too far and turn into an elitist society and end up saying f*** you to people who don't keep up with the fast runners
The scene of the living room and the noises of life contrasting with the emptiness, brilliant. Loved it so much.
I'm having a really shitty day and watching this has really cheered me up, thank you! Also just wanted to say that you two are two of the most genuine people on TH-cam and anyone who thinks you're putting on an act or being fake is just jealous of your success
I really dont understand those who press unlike!!! just dont press any button and leave these people alone! Steph and Hannah deserve more viewers and more subs for all the effort that goes on to their videos and they are fun and REAL people!!
Hope you guys are settling into Bath life. Check out 'Alice Park'. It is fairly small, but has a little track where G can take his bike or scooter. I grew up going to that park and took my 3 year old brother yesterday and he always loves it!! They also have a little cafe and do great hot chocolate! So good to see you guys so happy x
I loved this week's video! I really enjoyed that you incorporated more chatting into the vlog, it was a nice balance between the two. I much prefer when you guys chat and talk about real things - it's more relateable, and then you have an artistic style that not many other vloggers have 👍👍👍 plus how GLAD was Stef when he was in the ball bit ☺️☺️☺️
23:20...."Yes, let's relax. ".........23:25....."Ouch"..........I'm sorry Stef .....It was so funny LOVE YOU GUYS ! Greetings from Poland
Absolutely enjoy how you guys keep it real and aren't of afraid of talking about the naked truth, glad you touch upon both aspects whether controversial or not. Will forever continue watching because of that alone.
Got a notification for the video yesterday ❤️
I love that you have moved because its really interesting watching you explore and find new places to go💖so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago,I find your 'vlogs' so soothing and funny,it always make me giggle you car chats too 💓
Been looking forward to watching this all week ngl
What an emotionally raw start - I was crying. But tears of joy, for the new chapter your lives are now heading into. So happy for your new home, new baby in the future and the journey you will be embarking on. Be you Michalak's, be you.
Life is all about change. I'm excited to see the new adventures you will all get up to :)
I've been watching for about a year now. 24, English, living in Western Canada. I love your videos. Such attention to detail and hard work... I love the "silkies" but also just the clever angles, the good music, and funny cartoons added in the edits. Thank you for giving us a moment to slow down once a week. I just wanted to say that I am really excited for your family's next chapter - as difficult as change is - a beautiful city, and a little garden all of your own, will give you and your little ones countless memories. Take care!
31st of August was my due date and my parents were going to call me Diana because it was going to be the 1st anniversary of Princess Diana's death. How grim is that? Luckily for me I was born four weeks early
Fiona Wilkes 😂😂😂😂🙋🏼
Your ability to evoke emotion through these vlogs is amazing! Sometimes I think I'm dead inside and then I watch these
I liked the fact you spoke a lot in this video..well, more than normal anyways. P.s stef I like you but please don't wear that baggy hat
I like the hat! Wear it please 😊 ....Stef why can't you just please us all?!
I have to admit that I had to wipe away a sneaky little tear, when Stef said that he will miss their old place because he really learned to be happy there. I felt the same way about our last home in Munich, before we moved to Tennessee. It's so hard to leave a place where you've gone through change and come out a new and better self. It's brave to start again somewhere new. It's inevitable usually but still takes courage. And the part about arranging everything in life around the slowest people. So true! And so frustrating! Especially when it comes to ANY political discussion. I don't even want to say "debate" because a debate is impossible to have with a stupid person. They don't even realize when they're wrong and can't accept that other people might just have a different opinion. I read this quote somewhere, I don't know who said it but it is so true: "It is hard to have a constructive conversation with a smart person who doesn't share your opinion. But it is absolutely impossible to have a discussion with a stupid person."
I can't wait to see more of Bath. It seems like everyone who visits it instantly falls in love with the place. I hope you're going to be happy there.
Anyone else see Stef filming that pizza 🍕 shot in Hannah's vlog and was wondering if it made the cut? Just me, okay... (it did)
I love seeing these vlogs in your new place! Please don't worry about filtering yourselves too much. One of the reasons I love you guys is because you don't water yourselves down, and are people I can eyeroll along with at cringeworthy things. You guys are "my people". Thank you!
The fact that someone might have any opinion on the living decisions of someone else's family never even occurred to me when watching last week. The never ending entitlement people feel to weigh in on social media is just baffling. Their move, their family, their decision - how is there any other way to look at it?
I was the exact same when I moved but you have these blogs full of memories and thoughts that you had inside that home which you can look back on and watch whenever you want and you can make so many more memories in your new house
Really enjoyed this vlog!! One point to mention though, I watch Hannah's channel too (as I'm sure lots of others do!) and I found it a little frustrating to watch her vlog again in the first 7 mins or so... otherwise so great again!x
Yes I agree, much of the starting footage is duplicated. Still a great vlog from 7 min on :)
It was similar but not identical footage . Re watch Hannah's - there is differences .
Alice Flynn I think if she was bored of watching it over the first time she isn't going to go and do it again 😂😂
Emily F I watch Hannah too. I must be a bit dim as I can't see where the similar bits are. Her Pals and Pizza one? The first 7 mins of both are entirely different. I'm thoroughly confused but might just be me
Yeah I agree!
It's amazing how quickly you have adjusted to your new life's in Bath,all that space and the bonus of a garden it so suits you all.
Don't change the way you do things that's why I love you all.x
"Why is he cycling in the middle of the road?"
"Shall we stop and ask him?"
"She has nice hair."
"No she doesn't."
I live for these quick sarky comments you make at eachother, relationship goalz
Oh my gosh, I so relate with your conversation at 12:30. I've been documenting my life since 1999 (I like to say I took something private, made it public and subsequently my profession) and the projection I've had to deal with still makes an impression. Stef's take that you need to take the 'slowest' into consideration with what you share/create makes so much sense to me. I'm happy with how you still aim to elevate your work with visual and other nuances. Makes for such an enjoyable part of my Sunday.
Omg I'm crying....I'm watching this in a Starbucks near me and I'm crying.
Why? There's wasn't much to make you cry in this vlog.
The whole part where stef was talking about the house and the memories they shared there just brought tears in my eyes.I recently shifted to another city and i know how that feels.Such a beautiful family.
Oh ok that makes sense. I hope you get settled in your new city, make lots of friends and feel at home soon :)
Nicola M thank you! That's so kind of you 😊
Hi there! I just want to tell you, that I feel so lucky for finding such a nice, beautiful home for your little family. And I am pretty thankful to be able to be part of your family journey! Thanx a lot - big hugs form Berlin, Hella
I honestly cannot believe how anyone can comment something negative on your videos! I find it hard to even articulate how much I appreciate your content, because I just love it so much. You are an amazing family, I find it beautiful to see you "grow"to the family that you are now, and I look forward to every video on your journey :) Can't wait for Baby number 2!
loved the part where you were speaking in the old house. so many memories from places lived before, and yet when we take our things, everythjng shifts. I cleaned out a house after 9 yrs a couple of yrs ago. it seemed meaningless, suddenly, and yet it was my everything for so long.
It's a fair point that things are half price outside of London but I guess you guys will be on the same income . If we were to leave London our salaries would also half and jobs are harder to find, and in Bath for example rents are still pretty high.
Loved loved loved the part in the old flat. Made me emotional! And was lovely to just listen to you guys chat. Completely agree about the slowest pace ... I often worry too much about what I say on camera but I've tried to stop recently. What's the point in making videos if it's not truly me? Keep up the amazing work guys. You seem so happy since the move xxx
Just got the notification the second time (first time yesterday afternoon) but gonna keep it unwatched till today in the evening ☺️
People and families grow and change... that is pretty much what real living is about.... learning, growing, changing and most of all loving! I'm enjoying that you share your process.... keep moving forward, apology (explanation) is wasted on those that don't look back and embrace their memories while also learning to embrace the unknown that comes with moving forward. I, for one, treasure your vlogs!
I haven't seen any negative comments about your move or that you're changing?!
Are you kidding me, basically all the comments on the last video was about it.
Stef and Hannah, you have inspired me! I am wanting moving from a big town in New Zealand to a smaller town. I'm not liking to move all my stuff to a different town but these vlogs have encouraged me to step out and try my best. Thank you! I am very excited for your new journey. new person coming into the vlogs. so happy to keep watching on Monday mornings 😍❤ love you guys xxxx
Hey Stef and Hannah,
I absolutely love your videos and your little family and i think you definitely deserve to live in a bigger and nicer place!
I never comment, and I wouldn't ever post a negative comment. However, I think being surprised of you moving into such a big and beautiful home, when you've been talking about being almst poor and not being able to afford housing in london, is a completely normal reaction. And I mean being surprised without any judgement! So I think it's not fair to many of your subscribers to tell them they're stupid. Most of us will still enjoy and watch your videos, be happy for you and support you! I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and that I don't want this to be perceived as negativity!
Love from Berlin!
Sobbed my heart out watching you in your old house with all the memories, feel like I've walked and travelled your whole journey with you from the pregnancy updates to bringing Grayson home and all that has happened ever since ❤️ how amazing is it though that you have so many of these memories on camera!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved everything about this 27 minutes and 44 seconds. You were both absolutely right about what we share on TH-cam. It is such a catch 22. Your editing skills are just phenomenal. Thank you for bringing this to our screens!
❤
0:45 YESSSS! Such a funny way to deal with negativity.
99% of the comments are positive.This is youtube you'll always get the odd Tw*t.
I am consistently impressed from week to week with your art. Love them every week!
Honestly, your "vlogs" deserve to be called "art" instead
Could not agree more!!
Beth Johnson yes exactly ❤️
It's like watching an incredibly beautifully put together film documentary but even that doesn't do it justice
These vlogs are much better than most but let's not go over the top 😂
so true
love watching your weekly videos, your honesty, your gorgeous family and the beautiful art shots you take. Loved the view of Bath it looks amazing, thank you
😊😘
Where you are sat on the bench I've sat many a time and you can never get over how breathtaking that view over Bath is . I hope you're settling in well to your new home and you find a lovely nursery for Grayson xxx
I am early yayyyyy
I am so happy for your growing family, its truly wonderful to watch your lives move forward. I don't understand why people think they're entitled to have opinions on the paths you choose. Your move was right for you and you've got a gorgeous new home in a great town. Congratulations to you all.
I think the London bashing is slightly frustrating as you use to get angry it was not affordable to buy there which gave the impression you would of if you could have, even if that was not the case. I think it's wonderful you have moved and seem incredibly happy and that's lovely, but maybe be kinder to London and your good times there which have been a huge part of where your life is going now. Bad things happen everywhere and pollution which although better where you are still exists, I do not live in London although I am from there, it's certainly not perfect by any sense of the imagination but like all capital cities it's hectic, noisy etc, I am saying this not to be unkind as I absolutely love your vlogs, I just think it's coming across poorly and possibly only in my mind, you make wonderful short films which are a joy to watch and you work obviously very very hard, I know that you have both had very tough times in life and it's not just been given to you on a plate but through work and determination. I hope this comment will be read with no malice intended as none has been meant. Keep up the brilliant work and enjoy this new chapter of your lives.❤️
Imagine all the history that has taken place on those cobbled streets and old buildings. I'm honestly so happy for your guys' move, the chance for new beginnings and being able to explore. I really enjoy watching your lives unfold through these cinematographic videos you call "vlogs". Cheers.
It's kind of annoying having to basically rewatch Hannah's vlog at the beginning of this one... obviously you can't always get new footage for two vlogs every single week but yeah just some feedback
Thanks you , Michalaks for these weekly vlogs. Came across your channel a few weeks ago, and found myself going back to watching your older ones. As a spoonie, who can rarely get out of bed and life a productive life, I live vicariously through your experiences. Keep up the great work. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Sooo glad you're loving Bath, it is my favourite city so I spend loads of time there. Your house is stunning also, its clear to me that you always want to make Grayson proud and I wish you all the best with everything to come!! (Including Baby no.2!) x
Please never water yourselves down!!! This blog felt like it went so quick was so absorbed!! Can not believe how different the London flat looked with nothing in it and the emotion that came through the lense!!! Love you guys from Australia 🇦🇺
You're vlogs are so cinematic I love it. 😍
I just have to mention, that shot with the transition between the full and empty house, yes Stef! I appreciate and respect the effort put into that a lot, especially since this is a 'vlog' #planningahead, the amount of thought and skill put into these 'everyday films' is insane. #stefandthemichalaksandthesevideosarepartlywhyinowstudyfilm #thankyou #youalwaysbrightenmyday☺ x
Love hanging out with you guys, so excited for all the changes. Let's not let this space become anything but what you deserve, absolute positivity!
Love from Mexico!💕
I love the way you describe your feelings about things, it has me 100% hooked every time. Your videos are just SO good!
The quality of cinematography within your vlogs is immense, incredible every single time, makes me so happy to watch the art you produce
I am so excited for this new adventure! You guys are so amazing and your vlogs connect to a part of my heart that I didn't think the world understood.
I left from London two years ago and I do miss it but seeing the way you handle this and happily remember the love your London house gave you, makes me so happy.
Endless well wishes for this amazing things to come
11:04 have strength!!!!!!!! these give me life for the next week to come! these are so beautiful!
So GOOD! Love the new home, love how Bath looks, love how happy you are with the move.
Theres an oliver bonas in Bristol Hannah! Another reason its worth a visit! Lived here for 8 years and yeah I think you guys would like the vibe, Clifton is very up your street, really worth a visit xx
When the satnav said lower Bristol road I burst into tears as I lived on that road and I'm missing it so much! Oh Bath you beauty! Pretty as ever guys! 👌🏻
I love the vibe of this vlog. I loved both Stef talking about the life of their old house and you both just sitting on the bench and chatting. It's all so beautifully real and emotional and I love it!
Another incredible vlog (or film), the perfect combination of thought provoking and funny. Although I have to say Harold's appearance was probably my highlight! I don't think you guys are unrelatable at all (but I forever adore your witty ways of responding to this), if anything - it's heartwarming to watch you grow and expand because we all know how hard you work and how deserving of the success you are. Moving to a beautiful new home isn't unrelatable, it's inspiring! Thank you for always being inspiring. It's the best feeling to come away from watching a vlog feeling inspired!
The feeling that view of Bath gave you...the one you usually get when going to the beach...I used to get that feeling when I went to the "bush" in South Africa (where I'm from)...but living in the US, I now get that feeling on Sundays...when I watch your videos and enjoy the absolute beauty of it!! Thank you for all the work you do to create my feeling!!
New baby is due the day after my own birthday! I'll take that as a gift to me ☺️I am endlessly happy for you all. Been watching your lives grow and change since before Grayson was born, and that growth and change is what keeps me watching. It's wonderful and intriguing to see real life being shared so openly and honestly and without holding back. Love to the four of you!
I love you guys. With you through thick and thin. May this next chapter of your life be full of growth, laughter, and adventure. Can't wait to see it unfolding. Best from NY!
Keep changing and growing. I love your vlogs, they are beautiful, candid and refeshing. Love you all!
