a morning routine at my treehouse cottage - daily life in the forest

[@TheCottageFairy]

Have a wonderful day everyone ❤️ When I showed my friend this video she asked if I sleep out in a flower meadow 🌸 I am going to say… yes! Beds are for muggles! 😂 hehe jokes aside, I have been spending time laying down completely on the earth at least once for a few minutes during my walks, it may sound weird, and I can’t tell you exactly why or how, but it’s so incredibly relaxing and allows you to listen to your environment in a new way. For the past few months I’ve been getting up and immediately going to work and not stopping until dark, and I wanted to change that feeling of being a little hamster on a wheel. Even if it meant just finding enough time for a walk (and enjoying the flowers) and making some tea before work, it would give me a chance to pause before going into the day. Of course, I don’t have time to go on a long walk each day, in this video I am pasting together several mornings - but I try my best to enjoy those little free moments to the fullest. I remember I was very interested in the appeal of ‘hustle’ culture when I was younger, convinced that I had to use these younger years to work 60 hour weeks as long as my body allowed, and then eventually be able to enjoy retirement. But I have come to believe that while that method may work for some people, I cannot predict the future, and if I am able to enjoy taking walks and taking things slow when I can, then that is a worthwhile practice. I don’t want to look back on a huge portion of my life and feel like my identity was absorbed into chasing a goal. Working towards a dream that will be reached decades from now is fantastic and important when planning our future, but we cannot allow it to stop us from enjoying today. In short, my morning routine changes every day, there is no thing I need to do or not do, I just need to take any moments I can to enjoy, and let my practice evolve to suit me depending on the day. But I do try to prioritize walks, nature watching, and tea ❤️ because who needs more than that?! Haha!

When I was 15 my grandpa died suddenly and my grandma looked into my eyes and said, Alana don’t wait. I took that advice to heart. Interestingly, I did meet my goals, but they were goals to be free and happy. I owned 3 businesses because I would finish one and then follow my heart to the next one. I am 57 and embarking on my 4th with the “goal” of being happy and free. Love your videos ~🌷💕

[@goranbreskic4304]

I used to lay in the grass too. It's great if you have the time and there aren't too many bugs 😄 Unfortunately I'm in a situation where I can't be me nowadays. (When you notice someone close to you is so loud it quiets you, leave. Before you are too tangled up, leave. It's not going to get better). I hope it is a season, and that is all.

[@lorrem2539]

I wish I had known this when I was young. While I still had fun, I also felt the need to work overtime so I could afford a car,apartment, etc. now that I am retired, I may have the time, but my body won’t cooperate for me now. Arthritis and eyesight has impaired my cross stitching, which I loved doing. I cannot work all day in the garden anymore, the aches and pains set in too soon. Everything takes longer to finish now. You aRe a sweet soul, Paolo. Take care.

Moss is his dog & he has other animals too. He’s trying to lead a life of self-sufficiency. He also writes & films myths from old Irish tales. He’s an introvert & an incredible storyteller. I always have joy in my heart after watching one of his vids as I do after watching one of Paola’s. Be sure you always watch to the very end of his vids bc he often has very funny outtakes. His channel & Paola’s give me pure calm & joy. Maybe you already know of his channel, but if you don’t, enjoy!🐣🐇🦋💙🌀

This video made me cry. I’ve been battling a health issue for 6 months now. I mourned the old me who could run and weight lift and do things I can’t really do now. I reminded myself I shouldn’t miss the old me. I’m just shedding. I’m growing. I now go on walks and bask in nature. I also spend tons of time with God. I became a plant mom. Something the old me would’ve been too busy for. Luckily I still have my voice and my music. God’s gift to me. I’m such a fan Paola! Thank you for bringing life into perspective for me!

These videos have helped me cope with my move so much better than I could have on my own. I have no one to confide in, but you're videos help me feel less alone, and help me find the positive in these rough times. Thank you so much just for existing.

[@courtneyawalsh]

Paola: you remind me a bit of me at your age. Thx for reminding me of what’s good, real, kind, and true on this page. Your attention to and appreciation of the little things. The slow, local and peaceful pace of these videos has refreshed my resolve to nourish my spirit. To spend more time in nature. Like you…I’ve worked very hard for a long time and I’m slowing down a bit at 51. The hustle I want is the rustle of leaves and the grind…of a mortar & pestle. Lived in Maine alone for two years. It was a spiritually wonderful time. Not without its challenges. I love that you & Luke found each other, that you serve your community & children (former nanny) and that you traded ambition for peace. That is all very inspiring. I’m doing my writing & art more and feeling less of a draw each day to social media which feels flooded with fakeness & cruelty. Give me barefoot time on grass. Painting and nesting, resting & recharging between adventures. I hope you guys will go on a honeymoon. It doesn’t have to be exotic or expensive to be memorable and meaningful. Canada is wonderful. PEI is Anne of Green Gables turf & yes those are great books. Stay you. I wish you abundance, health, and continued growth & peace. Colorado has had wildfires, too…but when it’s clear it’s SO glorious here. Thx again for all you are & do. 🙏🏼🎨✍🏻🪴🏡🍄🐰 Feliz Pascua. 😘🌸💜📚

Your videos connect and comfort me, and make me remember to focus on nature if emotions are haunting my productivity. It's lambing season and i work first hand with the mothers and their newborn lambs, seeing and respecting life is so special, and when a baby is weak, nurturing it and having the mother sheep thank you is so special. I may only be 14 but ive learned so much about life and sympathy. I feel everyone should work to connect with nature as in the end its always going to be there for you if you care for it.

He is right! Pitbulls are “man-made” and have caused terrible damage, even death, to humans! This should be enough for their extinction.

[@natthebratster]

I worked for a Humane Society in AZ and while I loved the job I would get calls everyday all day long from pet owners wanting to surrender their pet/s for this exact reason. The landlord/property owner won't allow animals or has a breed restriction in place. I tried to be as empathetic as I could but eventually my response would result in "why would you move into a place that won't accept one of your family members?" I loved all my pets dearly and I couldn't fathom surrendering one of them in exchange for a housing situation. I am so glad for you and your doggy!! I'm hoping you enjoy creating lasting memories at your cottage and thank you for sharing your Pittie story-a very misunderstood breed.

[@pyootchnich]

I have a friend who used to be a postal worker letter carrier until she had her fingers removed by a pitbull. It almost killed her. Thank goodness a police officer showed up and killed the dog. She sued the owner of the property for $1 million. She should’ve got more. There’s a good reason why your landlord is hesitant to lease to someone with a vicious breed of dog. Everybody talks about how nice pitbull‘s can be. The fact is, just like there are vicious breeds of cats That are outlawed, so should some vicious breeds of dogs including pit bulls.

This is the first Easter without my Mom. Today was her favorite day, after our birthdays. I held it together, until my husband brought me dinner. Grief like a fist...uncontrolled sobbing. I had to take something and lay down. Now...I am sitting up in bed, Crocheting...and there is your video. April 26th will mark the first year down..the first year of learning to live in the world without the heart I lived under. Your videos have helped this past year....be doable. I realized today...I had not said "Thank you." So....Thank you for the peace you share. Wishing you so much happiness in your marriage and future. Much Love...Tam.

[@gracer.4022]

Tamara, the first year without your mom is incredibly difficult, there is so much to process, the empty space; I spent much of that time re-learning knitting. It’s been four years now without mine. You will find , ( as I have) that you do things differently, I take more time to observe nature & photograph, join groups virtually and in person, and learn new things because I have the time.:)

[@tamarapeterson1844]

I crochet anything..even advanced things..but learning to knit is on my list. I bought myself knitting needles. Her death was sudden...an out of blur stroke..so violent..it tore her heart...empty..yes. I felt our connection rip out of my aura. The adrift...empty..strange feeling, somedays, is so hard. My husband and son have been amazing. My girl friends from Highschool went to the burial for me, i am not medically cleared to fly, and my son and I are still Doc ordered home. Neither of us can have thus virus. Learning to navigate the world without her....it is..SO...different. Thank you for the Love...and the hope that this will get easier to bear.

Dear Paola, I've so enjoyed your videos over the past few months. You are lovely. Even though I haven't written before, I'm going to jump in and offer you a bit of advice given to my husband and I before we married (48 years ago). We were young and didn't have a lot of money either. Our pastor said, no matter what, go on a honeymoon...immediately after you are married. Even if you can only go to some wonderful nearby spot, go be alone together as husband and wife, just you two. No everyday life interruptions. No friends, no family. This gives you this wonderful transitional, bonding time together to celebrate your love and talk and just be, and when you return, you will embrace the life and home you're building with new eyes. We took that advice and have never regretted it.

Your videos are so lovely to bask in as I sit and crochet a blanket. I too grew up in a military family and lived all across Canada. We had property in Kingston, Ontario with a lake. It was such an inspiring place be during the summer with dragonflies, fireflies, bullfrogs and beavers. I would go fishing on a special rock pertruding over the waters edge and watch the sunfish sparkling as they glided through the water. I would dig in the clay, on the waters edge, and make my dolls clay pottery by firing it after it was dry. It was a wonderland and a beautiful place to just sit and muse. My fondest memories are there. We visited P.E.I. one day crossing over on the ferry from Nova Scotia. On that day we went to the red sandy beach to dig clams. I was fortunate to have many amazing experiences and to see most of Canada from coast to coast. I've written a book that will be published soon with a few stories from the good old days... I enjoy your videos. They remind me of those days and of myself in my quiet little world. I've grown to appreciate my quietness and find my alone times to be restoring. As a creative person I find time away is life-giving. Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite stories too. I have many amazing stories and experiences and can relate to your journey.

Last year I was so focused with being productive every single day, to the point where I think I don't deserve to rest. I get really frustrated when I don't do something within the day. You are right that living is not only about being productive but to also learn and treasure your experiences.

I had the good fortune of spending two golden summers on PEI, performing in Anne & Gilbert the musical (based off of book 2&3 of the series). It was by far one of the best times off my life. The island made it so easy to appreciate and take advantage of each beautiful day. Sitting at Victoria Park watching the sunshine sparkle on the ruby colored waters, walking down by the harbor front and enjoying a Cows ice cream, popping into the little shops on Victoria Row, road tripping with friends to one of the many many stunning beaches. There have been so many new restaurants and shops that have opened in recent years, I'm sure you'll still love it! Next time you go there are two things you MUST do! 1. You must visit Greenwich National Park. You walk along a trail, through a beautiful wooded area that then opens onto a massive floating bridge over marsh lands that lead you to the Dunes and Beach. The most stunning place in the world. 2. Dine at The Inn at Bay Fortune's Fireworks Feast. A little pricey but worth every penny. It's a culinary experience like no other.

Your gentle ways and walks through nature bring me back to the heart of God and the beauty and delight of his creation. Thank you.

[@davidmurphy1653]

It's a joy to watch you bloom, your hair is gorgeous. I love to see you happy.

[@lumifish-DK]

Oh yes, PEI is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I was also motivated to go because of "Anne of Green Gables" my favorite series❤ I was blown away by the beautiful colours of the nature on PEI. Mesmorizing place🌺

Thank you for being a part of my 'slow-down, time at peace' evening. I've been so busy with work, I had a few weeks of videos in a row to enjoy! Appreciate you.

[@peggyschmidt7715]

It is so uplifting to watch your peace and calming manner of presenting a day in your life, thank you, you are a beautiful person ❤️ 👍🙏

Just spent the day digging over my vegetable beds in my tiny garden in Scotland -and it was warm and sunny and very peaceful. Watched a speckled thrush tugging up an earthworm for her dinner and now I am.preparing my own meal. What a lovely end to my day to watch this and hear your calming voice.

[@sylviacarlson3561]

what are you having for your meal? Greetings from California!

[@sylviacarlson3561]

@@jupitersdreaming Ooo that sounds so good! I'm a mushroom girl too! Do you make the ravioli from scratch by chance? I've never made them and wonder if you have to have a pasta machine to do so or not?

[@jupitersdreaming]

@@sylviacarlson3561 I have to admiit the pasta was ready made. Paola I am sure would make it herself ....and gather the mushrooms! :-)

[@sylviacarlson3561]

@@jupitersdreaming- most likely, although you really have to be careful with mushrooms. I know pigs can find truffles, but do they find the non-poisonous mushrooms as well? I can't remember.

Watching from Malaysia, but I'm a filipina loved💕 to watch your vlog because I see myself in you being an introvert..

[@sabatebbutt7215]

Dear Paola, from the moment I stumbled upon your videos, I knew you were the most kindred of kindred spirits. The mention of Anne in this lovely video certainly affirmed that! :) Both you and she are models of beauty and grace for me, it is so comforting and wonderful to know that there wondrous women like you out in this wide world, living true to yourself and true to your fairy-ness. Thank you for the gifts you give with your wise words and your most beautiful and artistic videos. They are like jewels that transport one to fairyland. You are indeed one of “The Race that knows Joseph” and the fairies and gnomes and sylphs and undines… and as someone who often feels alone among people (I suppose not everyone can be like Anne 🙃) you give me such hope. Hope in humanity and hope in a world where kindred spirits are most assuredly out there. I am seventeen and have lived on a biodynamic farm all my life. I feel a connection to you in many ways, one being our imaginative, story-filled childhoods and two our shared love of the natural world. Someday, I would love to meet you… if you are ever in Northern California near Mendocino please stop by our farm or farm stand. And would it be alright if I sent you something? I understand if you are not comfortable sharing your address or P.O. Box! Thank you for being the most delightful fairy that you are! Sending much love, Saba 💐🐸💐

Hello Paola, I am Canadian and have lived in Ontario all my life to this point, and now at 50 have decided to move to the mountains in British Columbia, partly due to being inspired by your videos. 🙏💚 I've had the pleasure of visiting P.E.I. two or three times and also being a fan of Anne of Green Gables, was completely enamored with the beauty and magic of the island. I do hope you and Luke can make it a priority to visit some day. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your life and imaginative spirit with us all. You are such a dear and I for one truly look forward to your weekly videos. You remind me of myself when I was your age. 😉 ~ sending you love and blessings ❤️

[@gracemccartin194]

A beautiful and calming video; I love the way you inspire yet do not expect others to do the same exact things but emphasize each to “ listen” to their own feelings😊

[@drcnty5462]

I find myself saying.. AMEN allot during your videos. Just absolutely love the peace and honesty of your channel.

[@talkdeepwithgina]

Wow... I can never get over how deeply your spirit and videos touch my own heart 🙏Thank you, as always, Paola for sharing yourself with us! This video is BEAUTIFUL. Such an art. I loved how you describe your daily practice apart from a routine, away from the rigidity we often place on that word in itself. So, so beautiful and profound!! Sending so much love to you xx

[@yusniah5473]

I really enjoyed your video. And this is my first time to comment. Previously I just watched and never dared to express my opinion. Your video is very useful and able to restore my energy. I will immediately watch your video when I get home from school or in a public place. Your video is able to charge my energy. I feel that introverts are very prone to burnout. Although only with human voices in a crowd, it has a tremendous impact. It drains my energy even in a state of doing nothing. Always feel lonely in a crowd and trapped in it. I hope that in the future you will provide Indonesian subtitles. Thank you.

[@tanyajordening]

OH my GOSH! I have always been obsessed with Anne of Green Gables, too. My daughter bought me a print of one of your paintings for my birthday a couple of weeks because I relate to you soooo much. And here is another thing! Best wishes to you!

Thank you. You are such a beautiful authentic soul. Blessings with love❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

I need to say that the fairies were right about the bluebells, just stunning. Hope you are getting your new dwelling ready for your marriage coming next month, you are a nature fairy type to adjust to being a wife soon. Pat from Oregon coast

Dear Paola, how wise you are; especially for one so young. Thank you for reminding this ol'gal of important life lessons. For quite a while now, in the requirements of caring for my mother, I have forgotten the joy of just being. I have been consumed with all the required doing. Thank you.

Paola , every time a watch your little videos, I feel a more calme and soothing. You seems to be like a wonderful person , you are so cute and kind to everybody and everything you touch ! You are like a balm on my stressful mind. Thank you for being alive ! 🌹🌻🌸🌼🌺🌷 P.s.: sorry if my English is not that good….I usually speak French. I live in the province de Québec. 🙂

[@erin_explorestheoutdoors]

My wife and I got married last April, and we opted for a Mini-Moon, as we were concerned about traveling during a pandemic and also the added financial costs. We ended up planning little day trips to spots not far from home that we had been wanting to check out but just hadn’t had the chance to explore. It was a wonderful, low-key, and intimate week that we were able to spend together. Plus we got to sleep in our bed every night at home, which was nice. We do intend to go on a belated Honeymoon in the future, and we have been putting aside extra funds when we have them. Sending you and your fiancé well wishes as you get closer to your own Wedding! 💗

What a beautiful gift this Easter morning! Much gratitude and blessings to you dear Paola.

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Thank you so much for your lovely video! Your delight in the bluebells reminded me of my little granddaughter’s surprise and amazement when she spotted the Siberian Iris in my garden… so purple with their yellow throats.. she scrunched down and softly stroked them with such awe on her little face. You remind me of her with the bluebells and you both remind me of the beauty of nature. ❤️

[@brendastratton1306]

I so miss being able to go out in nature, so your videos are like a balm for me. I lived more than 50 years in the country, but now I live in town and the opportunity to get out like I once did doesn't exist. When I was a little girl, one of my neighbors had a field of bluebells. Every spring I waited for them to bloom, and I spent some of the most memorable times of my childhood sitting and walking alone among them. Your photos of them brought back some very precious memories. Thank you for sharing with us, Paola! ❤️

[@ginatriana1523]

Amen. Thank you for being a calm in the storm, for sharing, living, showing, modeling a way it can be done. In everyone's life there is a way to be calm in the storm.

I do hope you take your husband and go there for a honeymoon. You laying in the bluebells and grounding yourself in the fields felt like peace. Thanks for the beauty you share.

This place is my dream place. Now I live in a very noisy environment which takes a toll on my well-being thus I always pray that I could move out and live in a quiet, slow-paced, and peaceful place. One day... Thank you for inspiration.
