I am only able to put this up as I got some footage this spring that I already had - I have not been able to get out much this summer due to heatwaves, smoke, and caregiving (I’ve been constantly indoors in the one room that has AC and honestly the four walls seem to be caving in sometimes) - so I appreciate you understanding videos will be coming much slower starting in September, but I will continue doing my best under the circumstances ❤ in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the effort my past self put into the videos I will post this month, I’m grateful to her foresight 🥰😂
We've been stuck indoors too due to the same weather conditions and with only having a wall AC unit in one room of our apartment we have to do something that we call "box fan relay" where we set up standing and box fans to draw the cool air into other rooms. We'd fry if we didn't do that so I do encourage other people in similar situations to try it. The walls cave in a bit for us too and we combat that with putting up pictures of outdoor/beach scenes on any wall that's looming in on us. It can puncture that oppressive feeling, especially with pictures that have more depth to them, showing scenes that continue into the distance. Good luck with baby, soon it will be autumn and there can be so much wonder in a baby's eyes to witness that season. I treasure the memories I have of my child's first autumn (including when he tried to stuff a leaf as big as his head into his mouth 😄)
What a treat I got today when I saw you posted this video. It was beautiful. It’s cooled down here in the Ozarks this week to a more comfortable temperature, but we were also stuck indoors a lot in July.
That explains the spring flowers! Haha! I was wondering about that! I miss the white crowned sparrows. They should be back in my area in September. So looking forward to seeing them at my feeders again. This was a beautiful video. All of your videos are beautiful. 😍
Hi, Paola. Our beloved children are 34, 30, & 28. I remember the magical years when they were babies, then toddlers. We blinked and now they are grown. Enjoy each moment. I promise, one day you will look back and say the same, “Where has time gone?” Enjoy your precious baby. 🧚♂️ 🌻 💞
Yes! Mine are 31, 28, 26, and 22 and it was magical when they were young. Back then, I would hear older moms say the time will pass quickly, but I still didn't realize what it would feel like on this end. I miss those days! We homeschooled all 4 of them and it was the best!
So true! Ours are 32, 28, 26, 22, & 19. It's the smallest things I miss the most, like sitting in the pew at Mass all together, and taking up the whole row. Or going to Blockbuster to pick out movies for movie night! Lovely memories.... Now making new ones with our grandkids...😊
Bless you and your little family. Enjoy the time. It passes so fast. To stay at home with a new life i so presious.❤❤❤ I miss it. My children are 29, 24, 20 and 12.
Also, since you are a writer, I suggest you keep a journal of things your son says and does. Kids do and say such awesome things and it’s so much fun to go back and read! And to save for their future selves.
I'd even say, starting now! We are so focused and often very tired, sometimes years from now the memories are vague. Especially if a second fairy child comes along. Knowing you Paola, I'm guessing you've already started a little journal of your days with baby boy. 😉🥰❣~Darcy
@@dod2304 As someone who was in the thick of motherhood this is great advice. I don't remember much because I was survival mode and wish I had written down things.
Please take your time and enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity of having your firstborn. I have thoroughly enjoyed your past videos but taking care of your well being is the most important priority right now. We, your fans, will not desert you. We LOVE YOU!
I found having a newborn son to be very tear inducing. Everything made me weep. When my breasts were heavy with milk, i wept. When he grew out of his newborn onsie, i wept. When he smiled at me for the first time, i wept. I felt so raw and exposed... it was truly interesting. I hope you can find joy and comfort in motherhood and know that you are doing enough. He chose you as his mother and you are enough for him, you are good and he loves and accepts you. You will do good by him, believe it ❤
Life changes forever when a kid IS born. Enjoy every step of the way because these precious moments are not coming back. The good news IS that children will always give you many reasons to enjoy life from a completely different perspective. Take care❤❤❤
What a LUCKY child to have you both for parents. I had my first and only child when I was 41. It was the most wonderful experience of my life. I named her Isis Crystal. She is now 34 years old and a fabulous, caring person. We are friends and have always been. I LOVE watching your videos!
Enjoy these precious moments with the little one. Don’t rush to try to post videos, you need to rest when your baby is sleeping too. We will still be here to share your cottage life whenever you have the time to share it with us. God bless your little family from here in England where we really need peace away from the outside world right now. Many blessings 🇬🇧😘
I am new as a commenter, but having watched your channel for a couple of years . I'm 65 retired and enjoy my family of 4 adult children, 12 grandchildren and hubby of course. I, like all of the other kindred spirits, look forward to your videos. We are so happy for you and your husband. We will wait patiently for your videos, whenever YOU can do them . Before I click on the latest video, I find myself literally letting out a sigh of any stress I may have. And I thank you for that. You are beautiful on the outside, but just as beautiful on the end. Sincerely, Susie D.
Your “new fairy child” 🩵 You are onto something with your thoughts about hard things being the most worthwhile. When you’re in the midst of that newborn phase, it can feel like a haze. But years later I reflect on those times as some of the most precious. I have so much respect for you protecting your baby’s privacy.
Motherhood is sacred✨Always rooting for you.. May you find a lot of joy and peace in this new phase. As you said being mindful is so important..every moment is meant to be cherished. Sending you love and light
Welcome back. You seem more mature and settled into mother hood. Your growth as a woman is shining through. I wish you and your family a safe journey through this life❤😊
There is nothing more “productive” than bringing new life into the world and giving 100% of yourself in the nurturing of that precious life. One day you will look back and know that your greatest accomplishment was raising a child.
Motherhood can be a wonderful meditation. I enjoyed a Childcare career for 27 years instead of having my own children. Living in the moment and savouring the ordinary can be sheer bliss as the abundance of love is invigorating. The balance of all valid emotions and experiences makes us grow into ourselves.
It's so lovely to see you! To hear your soothing voice. And to see the silhouette of your little cottage fairy in your arms. Such a blessing! Wishing you all the best and looking forward to your next visit, whenever you can post it. Blessings! ❤❤❤
I really appreciate how you are dealing with having a new baby. You are being very private. So many people on YT plaster their babies/children in your face, non stop, sharing so many intimate details of their life. These things are sacred and really should not be shared with the world. Imagine if thousands/millions of people showed up in their living room to watch them live life. That is exactly what is happening, but they are so removed from how creepy it is, as they can't see or hear these people watching them. They are talking to a camera! I find these SM times a very bizarre time in human history. God Bless ❤
Motherhood becomes you Paola, you glow with happiness and appear so relaxed and peaceful. I have loved watching you change and grow into your new role. Blessing to you and your family!
Wise women told me with my first “this too shall pass” referring to the sleepless nights and hard times. By baby 2 I reminded myself that “this too shall pass” as I soaked up the sweetness of infancy and nourishing my child from this amazing feminine body. Oxytocin is a wonderful gift for mother and child. I can say now as my children are in their 20’s I am so grateful for making them a priority in the early years. Our relationships are still interwoven with Love and Beauty. As nature intended.
I was 22 when my oldest son was born. I felt like I had loved him and he had loved me for longer than my life, really for eternity, as if our souls had known each other before he was born. This is a magical time for you even if it's exhausting. Soak up every minute. This time will go by fast. Blessings on you and your family.
Hang in there Paoula. You're doing the best of work. Congratulations to you and love to your expanded family. I believe in you & continue to love your videos.
One of the many reasons I love your channel is the scenery and the close ups, nature. I feel we are there with you, takes us to a soft places, even short clips are valuable to us and I am grateful to you for them. The baby in your dress, ADORABLE!!!! XOXOXOXOX
I am Gammy now As I listen to your videos, I fondly remember being a mother to my two little daughters balancing home life and work life Now I am grandmothering two grandsons, a granddaughter with a grandchild on the way in October Personally mother and grandmother hood has softened me I have become a more gentle human being I live more from my heart There is a deeper connection with others aa a result of the mothering and grandmothering experience I believe our children teach us that life is a precious gift and that every moment is to be celebrated💚 Enjoy every minute of motherhood Create special memories Some day you will reminisce with your child as an adult and the bond will continue to strengthen even more🧡
it's amazing how a little tiny baby changes EVERYTHING about your life. All consuming but precious. Enjoy!!! Don't worry about posting so much everyone will be here! We all love your videos!
You look SO beautiful Mama! (Says a grandma that loves that you are loving your little one.) Parenting doesn't come with a manual but it comes with a love so deep that it will overwhelm you for the rest of your life.
Hi Paola. I accidentally stumbled on your youtube channel after mum died recently and it has helped me immensely. It's lovely to see someone sharing so honestly. Please don't stress out about sending amazing material out at the moment, your followers will understand. Love from NZ (home of the Wilderpeople).
I love your videos. Congratulations on your new little person 🎉. My daughter just had her first baby a month ago. She is my youngest. I am a grandma of seven. I absolutely love your beautiful, soothing, peaceful videos. I think it’s a life I always longed for a little bit and still do. I have had glimpses and slivers of it over my life and for that I am grateful ❤️ I am introvert, empath and highly sensitive person (some thing I just figured out in the past 10 years. I remember thinking, “this explains a lot” so sometimes being in this world is difficult.
No more important job in all the world than being mama to your son! EnJOY this slow, sweet season. May God bless you and continue to draw you to Himself as you ponder the beauty around you.
Would love to learn more about life with a newborn in a cottage/in nature and your experience with birth and after! Your life inspires me so much ^^ Thank you for the content you create and all the hard work you put in. You're absolutely outstanding.
Despite all the sleepless nights, and despite all your tired feelings, you are GLOWING!! And I have not seen you smiling and laughing this much in any other video before. Motherhood suits you so much.
Carry that nowness always in your heart little mama fairy✨ it will get you through many milestones and over many mountains in life. Blessings to you and yours✨👐🏼 simply lovely fairy cupcake treat🌸 you are learning each day and teaching your son already how it is to create peace and have love and be love🪶 it is such a balance being a mother✨🌸
Votre voix est devenue si profonde et consistante. Le bonheur s'entend ... avant de le voir sur votre visage rayonnant. La maternité (et la parentalité de manière globale) est une aventure palpitante et douce à la fois. C'est un plaisir de vous retrouver sur RU-vid, Paola ! 😊
I find the videos are even more special when they are less frequent. You weave such magic into every one, I marvel at your creativity and intelligence. As long as you want to do this kind of project, you will have a happy audience.
Later this month it’s 30 years since I had my first son, I have mo idea where that time went. i now have a 18 month old grandson! Enjoy him while he is little ❤️🇬🇧
I had my baby 8 month ago, and I feel like he is growing by the day. It’s bittersweet, I constantly remain myself to live in the moment, and enjoy it every time I spend with my son,because this day won’t come back again 😢.
You are a lovely new mother. Enjoy this tired newborn stage. It does go very quickly! It’s hard getting used to a new routine and the biggest changes your own life will ever have in almost every single way. But, this is a renewal stage as well. You are not the same person you were before. Pregnancy, childbirth, recovery, and the new job of caring for a precious helpless little one that requires you for everything has made a brand new Paola. She is constantly amazed at her baby, so so tired, rearranging her days, her thoughts, and her own self care. You can rejoice in the facts that you have been promoted to Motherhood , thus a parent with your beloved husband. These are magical fairy days in the most perfect of ways. You are still our favorite Cottage Fairy with the added wisdom and experience of precious baby love. We will be patiently waiting until you are ready to share your fairy days with us again.❤️❤️🩵
Beautiful words from an even more beautiful woman. The days are long but the years are short. Enjoy every moment as you clearly already do. Life is such a gift and your grasp it with wisdom 🕊️💞🌷
Dear Paola, you are so talented, and your wisdom words are fluently coming out of your mind naturally, it is calming and puts me many times in perspective, letting me settle down my thoughts and fears. So happy to see you as a mother, slowing down is what you need right now, enjoying every step with the little one...hope the weather will be cooler so you can enjoy the outside with a fresh air and birds singing. take care and thank you for sharing🌱🌱
You have a beautiful, soothing voice and I want to thank you for that. I have been dealing with high cranial pressure of unknown origin, and as I await medical procedures to alleviate it, I am only able to listen to soft sounds. As a result, your content is a true aural relief. What you do is so much more than enough and is miraculous from my perspective. If you ever were to read aloud books-even children’s books-in your soothing voice, you would have a wonderful reception. I myself dabbled in children’s writing and illustration prior to becoming an attorney, so the reading of children’s books is something that I find deeply creative and calming.
This is so beautiful Paola! Congratulations on you fairy baby 🥰 I still really love the artwork from your etsy shop I ordered. One of the pieces is in a frame on my kitchen shelf. Of a girl sitting by a tree in the woods with the rain falling down, and forest creatures about her. So beautiful! The other is a beautiful owl, I put it in my journal/scrapbook with your envelope and stickers and card. So so special. There's nothing like motherhood. I'm so glad to hear you are cherishing your son.❤ What a special time for you and your husband. PS what Beautiful cupcakes!!🌺
I was so happy to see your video. You look amazing and thank you for posting a lovely video. Enjoy your time with your baby. These are special times in your life.
Despite being a new mom, your videos continue to be every bit as beautiful and thoughtful as they ever were. This is a testament to who you are...a lovely, sincere, and gentle soul. ❣
Sweetie your priority is your little one and your family, so pace as much as you need to...fully flow gently into the journey of motherhood for it is both an intensely pre occupying while infinitely rewarding time... These early months are to be treasured, so you do as you are doing in caring for your family.... Outside of that connect in with us as you can, to the degree that you can, for we fully understand, stand supportively beside you, and always wish you well... We are here when you are ready and always look forward to hearing from you....Blessings...
Enjoy every moment of this era of your life. It will not come again. Cherish every second of holding, rocking, talking and singing to your precious boy. Soon he will be up running and playing and will not want to be held or cuddled so much. Blessings to you and your new little family.
The lilacs looked amazing. I could actually close my eyes and remember the scent of mine from previous house. I love how your videos show up just when i need that reminder to SLOW down, really get back into nature now that I can walk again. Thank you. And yes, babies don't stay that small long... or young... I was an 80s mom..so it was always a rush rush rush...
What a blessed little one to learn to see the world through your eyes. He will be a strong, grateful child, seeking peace and appreciating all nature has to offer. Sending love to your little family
Exquisite video Paola. My son is the greatest blessing in my life next to my perfect health, honestly what more can I need? When you said you were learning as much from your child as you were teaching, I shouted YES! That is a thought I've had the entire life of my son. Blessings to you and all your loved ones. Looking forward to more from you, in time. Cheers! :)
Enjoy the lovely time as a family of three,including a baby. My kids aren 't little anymore,but i don't want to miss them. I treasure those special moments we had when they were little and we have now 🥰🏡🌻. Have a wonderful week.
I miss you a lot, I used to watch your videos while I was pregnant and it used to ease my chaotic thoughts now I am a mother and you are a mother too! so so so happy for you x
So happy to see your delicate decorating powers! I can get lost in watching you decorate little treats with those wildflowers. Simple, yet so healing. Thank you for returning, Paola!
You look so healthy and cheerful. It is wise to slow down and enjoy your baby and watching him grow. The years you have with your children go by so fast. They are a gift and a joy!
Thank you for working to be gentle with yourself and the perceptions of what "productivity" is while working on realizing that any metric for productivity does not measure your value. You are so very generous with your time, and I just want you to know it is appreciated. You bring magic into the world and share it as you can. We do not need you to deplete yourself in order to appease or entertain. This time in your family will never come again and I appreciate you protecting it. 🥰
