This COMMENT not on the top of the Page for all to see.
Much LOVE!!! 💜😁🙋🏽♀️
👑💍👛🐈🐇🍃🏡 🌠 🎇 🌄
You are going to leave the channel up, right? So we can revisit and enjoy.
This made me cry ❤ I found your channel while nursing my first baby, only a few months into motherhood. And now you’re going into that wonderful, challenging but most beautiful chapter ❤ welcome to motherhood dear Paola! Taking time for your child, your family is the best decision you could possibly make. And we’ll be here if you decide to share some more…❤
Thank you for everything, Paola. You are appreciated more than you know. Wishing you a wonderful journey with your family ahead!❤
I'm a 62 year old man balling my eyes out ,thank you so much for teaching me how to love myself and others, may the universe bless you and your family
You sound like such a sweet sweet man. Blessings to you. I'm sure we will all be watching Paola's videos from the very beginning to her latest one. Timeless encouraging content from a pure soul.
God bless you 🙏
Tears.
Love from the Philippines.
(((Hugs)))
Aww your tears warm my heart ❤ May the universe bless you too ✨🫶
"Flowers bloom despite the possibility of drought and fire" and "how beautiful can each of us be if we let go?". These lines touched my heart. They were words I needed to hear today 😌
I am 64 widow mother of four grown children, my love for you and your family goes deep into my heart ♥ God Bless you and your family, YOU helped me love myself and my children and grandchildren ,my life is empty with out my husband RIP ,BUT YOU HELPED ME STOP AND ENJOY NATURE AND ITS BEAUTY AND MY SURROUNDINGS. I THANK YOU FOR MY NEW BEGINNING IN MY DAILY JOURNEY TO CONTINUE IMPROVEMENTS OF ENJOYING LIFE 😊LOL CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART ♥
Your videos warm my heart and inspire me. As a physician, I see people when they are at their best and at their worst, and every chapter in between. Your messages can help those people along the path of life in every aspect. Your legacy is all the people you touch, and that is the gift you have left us. Enjoy motherhood. It expands all of life and gives back more than you can imagine ❤
This is so so true! She has such a beautiful soul
Very generous of you ❤
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much - I appreciate the kind and encouraging words ❤ looking forward to this new era of discovery
I wonder how many of us are surprised by the tears filling our eyes as we watch this? Wiping tears away and wishing you all the joy you and your little family can hold.
So surprised! Completely choked up. Both sad to miss her and ecstatic for her upcoming joy ❤
Me too! And I don’t even know why 😐

Very true!❤❤
The comments restore my faith in humanity. ❤
Hello. Do you see my comment please? Doing a test. Thank you.
Hallo from South Africa! I'm reminded of the little African village I grew up in, where we all knew each other, every sorrow was shared and each baby born made for joyful news district wide! Wishing you & the new dad a glorious & peaceful summer as you become a family. God bless, from the other side of the globe.
God bless you, your husband, and new baby ❤🙏
We’ll miss you! Come back when you’re ready and it’s good for you ❤ we’ll be here excited for your return. In the mean time you’ve given us so much content to watch while you’re away. ☺️ and congratulations, I’m so happy for you and him!
Thank you so much ❤ I will miss making videos! A big change, hope to be back with good news 😊
Farewell sweet lady...... For now ❤️
Blessing you, Like, and the baby
Just a little weepy, but happy for your new blessing coming soon. Will you let us know when your son arrives??
I do believe your beautiful home is a continuation of heaven, from which he is coming.
Love, joy, and blessings to you all.
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos. Sending you and your family so much love. I hope you come back to youtube but no matter what I will continue to cherish your videos. Blessings to your little one. I think you will be an amazing mother ❤
We'll all be cheering you on from the sidelines. When you have one of those new mom moments of panic, just imagine us surrounding you with love and telling you, "You've got this!"
If only the world had more sweet gentle souls like you.. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏❤️
I had no idea that a random CZcams channel I found on accident three years ago would have helped me to find the beauty and inspiration in the world during an emotionally abusive relationship. I have treasured your spirit, your genuine kindness and your journey over the years and wish you nothing but happiness as you navigate the magic that is motherhood. You are a beautiful soul and I thank you for sharing it with us all.
Full time motherhood is the most important job in the world. My time with my 4 boys flew by. They are now 30 to 20. Soak it all in and enjoy the journey.
Being a mother was the happiest and most rewarding thing I've done with my life. If your child knows how much you love being their mother and that they're not robbing you of some other happiness, then they will love you greatly. You'll do great! The first few weeks can feel scary to a new parent...once the baby starts smiling back at you the real good stuff begins!!!
I hope that all goes well with the delivery of your little one and I wish you, him and your husband health and happiness. Enjoy getting to know your son and growing as a family. 💖
Being a mother is the most sacred and meaningful thing I have ever done. Bless you and your precious family!
Wishing you and baby a peaceful birthing process and, along with Luke, a lovely first few days and weeks and months - until we see you again. May you have a good life together.
May the fairies, gnomes, and other creatures wish you all the best.
This chapter is better than any book before it. Savour the moments. They soar by.
Thank you Paola. Congratulations on your brand new son! I wanted to say how each of your videos, your serene voice, vulnerability and open heart have helped me these past years. My son, 23, is gone. Your videos brought a little peace and a little joy back into my life. I wish you well and thank you thank you thank you. Hugs.
I was 15 when I came across one of your videos. It made me feel better and peaceful. Now I'm 17 and crying while writing this. You will be an excellent mother to your child. Thank you for being such a wonderful and beautiful woman. I have evolved a lot as a human because of you. Ardently waiting for your comeback.
- Palak from India.
I'm 56, and she had the same effect on me! 😄 Long Live the Cottage Fairy!
Dear Palak❤🤗
Ohhhh, I will miss you deeply! I so relate to your journey! I DO hope you return someday soon.....on a new journey!!! 💙💜🧡💛
Best wishes for your upcoming journey Paola. May the arrival of the little prince fill your home with joy, love and laughter👶♥️
You'll be an AMAZING mother! 🤍Keep shining your light✨
I will do my best, thank you so much ❤
Enjoy every second of this new adventure. Best advise I ever got. "Sleep when baby sleeps. The house and chores can wait". There will ALWAYS be housework. Those precious times with him will not wait. They change SO quickly......and we all know that babies grow when they are kissed and snuggled!!!
How true this is! All four of my babies are grown adults now and looking back, the time really did go by so fast. The days are long but the years are short. 😢❤
absolutely do this sleep when baby sleeps. you need your strength and energy. please TAKE THE TIME TO RECOVER
A mother is being born, a season that rules all the other seasons of the earth. Blessings!
I started watching your videos during the pandemic. They meant so much to me, like a weekly visit with a friend when I couldn't see friends in person. I've loved them all. Good luck with the arrival of your new little ones and like others have said, just drop in when you can - many of us feel like you are family.
🙏🕊️Like to imagine this little place of peace purchased to provide fair renumeration to Paola for her love and art, as well as a place of peace in perpetuity while she protects privacy. Such alliterative truth! Love you, Paola!
It always amazes me how one can love someone they’ve never met. It’s the humanity in us. The same humanity that will risk their life for a stranger. The same humanity that can raise and love someone else’s children like their very own. The same humanity that laid down His life for us. May he be with you and bless you, make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you and fill you with peace in this new season. 🕊️

So truthfully, and exceedingly beautifully put!!🙏💖🙌
Becoming a mother is such an awesome chapter in life. I became a mother 4 times. Two by birth and two by adoption. It was wonderful and terrifying each time and I wouldn't trade a minute of it. You're going to be a great mom!
It looks like I'm not the only one crying here and can't seem to stop. I think because we love you,, the person you are and will dearly miss you in your absence. We know the very nurturing and beautiful mother you will be (or are) and pray for health and blessing to you all. Look so forward to seeing you back again, you have a huge family here!
Thank you for your videos of self-compassion, patience, and mindfulness. Your channel is filled with inspiriting messages of the value of slowing down and taking a deep breath. Thanks to you, I personally use the imagery of fairies and gnomes hiding in forests to bring a sense of wonder to my daughter's world and to uphold her interest in spending time outdoors and in nature. Enjoy mommyhood! I just know your lovely baby will grow up in a world of compassion, joy, imagination, and love.
You will be an amazing mama. Your son is blessed to have you for his mama - you are so calm and loving and have an adventurous spirit.
Be blessed and safe delivery of the baby 👶 ❤ may you enjoy your time with your family 🙏😊 you’ll be okay and we will miss you.
You're so blessed to be able to raise your son in God's territory of nature. You are going to be missed and never forgotten. Your humble spirit character is truly a blessing. May the hands of God always be over your life and your new angel of joy . 🥰🙏💐💙
Your videos have helped me SO much. I've grown so much from them. I watched them while waiting in the car line for picking my daughter up from school. I took a pad and pen with me and took notes. I added all these notes to a special place in my journal that I reference when I doubt myself. I can't express how thankful I am that I stumbled across your channel. We only have a few weeks of school left. I will be spending them rewatching your videos. Best wishes! You will be an amazing mother.
That heartfelt love that Paola wished for us as she signed off is the very thing that lured me into her channel to begin with. May Paola, Luke and Baby live in peace and grace, and may every person reading this find your light!
Today is my son's 43rd birthday! I seriously look back on the day he was born and can't believe it's been 43 years! Yes, life passes by in a "blink!" Enjoy and cherish the new life that you're bringing in to this world. Love and blessings. ❤
my mom will be 95 in July we are in our sixties, lost a brother last year to cancer. Life is so precious and unpredictable we need to enjoy each moment a sit is our last and embrace what we get. happy b day to your son.
Dear Paola, I sincerely wish you all the best for the birth of your son and a happy arrival as a little family. With love from Germany! Kristina
I’m not going to say goodbye but “see you again soon”. Please pop in whenever, for a candid few minutes with your little one. Nobody expects long videos, but it would be wonderful to see your new baby on occasion. Stay well and be blessed.
She stated in a previous video that her child will never be in any videos in the future. Wise decision. Hope she sticks to it.
@@Edith1517 Nevertheless, the OP's invitation clearly came from a loving and kind heart.
Congratulations on entering a new Spring, Paola!
I can already imagine you getting your baby acquainted with his furry siblings, the flowers, and the fairies of your forest. 🥰
Thanks for all your warmth and kindness. Blessings for the birth of your child. ❤❤❤
thank you so much for everything you've shared with us all over the years! Your videos feel like being out in nature, healing. I wish you all the happiness in the world and hope to see you again some day!
Blessings and prayers for you, Luke and your baby boy.🙏🌹💕
May you have a safe & blessed delivery. A healthy baby Boy. 🙏🙏🙏👣👣🍼🍼🩵
much love ❤️❤️ and a safe arrival of your son and growing into a family of three.
thank you for creating wholesome, authentic content. so inspirational and needed. all the best, much love
Light and Love and Well Wishes to you and yours, and the flowers.
Wishing you much peace & joy welcoming your son. 🦋💗🙏🏻
🙏💛🙏💛
Totally get it. I had to quit writing for a while after DS was born. Do what you need to do. Know that you have brought many, including myself, encouragement and inspiration. Wherever life takes you, you have been and will continue to be a blessing. 🤗
Thank you so much ❤
I had our daughter 4 months ago and seeing you on a similar path as I was, even with the eating disorder and struggling to love your body. You have NO idea how happy I am that you are not putting expectations on yourself as you adjust to embracing motherhood fully. There will be so many ups and downs, but I promise after all is said and done....having your little one in your arms is soooo worth it
Please share with us your journey of motherhood. There are so many young mothers out here that could use some direction. You are a role model you know.
Paola, the ambiance of your channel has always been one of calm and inspiration. How sad it will be to not have you for an occasional breakfast, to hear the new things going on in your life. I’m an old man, and the time spent has been like listening to a daughter. You created a wonderful space.
And what a treat this video is, seeing your early days, the bright little home in the open field, the walks in the wood line, and distant pale blue mountains. Thank you for creating and sharing your simpler life, that draws upon a simpler time. You will be profoundly missed.
Best wishes for you, your growing family and your future days. ✌🏼♥️🙂
Not crying 😢. Will miss you lots but know that this is best for you and your family. Wishing you much love and light.
The amount of healing you've delivered from your generous art forms and being-ness is truly beyond words. And I am a woman of many words. In great gratitude and deep reverence for your upcoming journey. Nearly 36 years ago I too gave birth to a son, and it remains the most impacting journey of my life. So much love to You dear Paola.
As someone who's always lived in the city but loves books like Anne of Gables, I've found so much comfort in your relaxing storytelling style of videos. You provide great inspiration to slow down and live in the moment as well as appreciate the beauty of nature that we are so blessed to have, yet so many of us prioritize the digital world rather than real connection. Thank you so much for showing us the world through your lens and all the best for motherhood
Oh Paola, thank you for all you have gifted us.
We are in our 70s and 80s and so enjoyed your wisdom and heart and wish you three the very best . And God's blessing from above.
Can you imagine all the wonderful and lovely things their son will be shown. God bless you, you will be missed. 💙
Going to MISS You!! I'm happy for this new season you are stepping into. Sending you the same love back!
Beautiful Paola, please don't say
"Goodbye" to those of us who love you so. Just let it be "See you later!" Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents and thoughts. I have always looked forward to your videos and will anxiously await your return to us. Be blessed, and enjoy your new life as a mother. Your son is so lucky to have a loving mom to teach him about the beautiful world God has given us. Enjoy your time away from the spotlight. You WILL be missed! Loving you and sending best wishes from SC.
Yep- that’s what my grandma always said- never good bye, always See You Later. ❤
I have found SO much peace from the photography of your valley. YOU have given so much to us, and NOW it is time for you to step back. And, for us to return the blessing by understanding and keeping YOU in our thoughts and prayers--it's called reciprocity!
Same with me.. we will miss you!!God bless your whole family!❤
I'm so comforted being in the world with you, Paola! Feeling lots of love and gentleness for you, your husband and new baby boy arriving. I also feel close to your wonderful community of followers. Thank you for being the beautiful gift of you!
Wishing you and your little family so many good things. Thank you for your legacy. With love from Scotland x
Goodbye for now. I have watched your videos from near the beginning. Thank you for sharing this slice of your life with us. Loved this one showing the vibrant young woman running with her dog and the thoughtful young mother to be wandering through the woods. You have helped me slow down. Be well.
While I will miss you, I am glad to see you making choices that are best for you & your family. Blessings are prayed your way. ❤ Tears fell as you blew a kiss & waved goodbye. Much Love to you, Paola. 😘
It's All Good! Rest up. Enjoy each new day.
Enjoy your beautiful journey into Motherhood; that is going to be one LUCKY baby! God bless.
Enjoy this wonderful time with your little one and your husband. It's such a beautiful new beginning and you will be such a wonderful mother. We will all await your return patiently. Take care, get lots of rest, and enjoy this magical time! ❤️🌲🌸🥰
Your are truly a beautiful sensitive soul who will make a wonderful mother. How lucky is your child❤
Thank you for all you have shared on your journey...
We look forward to being with you again when the time is right.
Much Love to you and your Family❤🎉
Parenting is harder when they're adults!!!
striking the gentle balance between support and letting go
is an ART

Your videos have helped me refocus and center myself on the hardest of days. Thank you. My first child was born on May 4th. My son Adrian, so this time of year is very special to me as well. I wish you love, joy, and happiness in motherhood and always Paola. It is a love like no other. ❤️🌻🦋

I’m so relieved you are taking time. It’s been lovely watching you become and sharing the woods with you like we are the invisible little fairies. Blessings to you as you bring life. All the love to your family.
Enjoy your new baby boy and take care of you too! I have watched you for years and will be again if you come back.❤❤❤❤
🪷🌟 Baby could be here any moment. And you and yours are present for the journey. Sending you love & hugs, with our hearts. You are never alone. Guardian angels galore are there. THANK YOU for the beauty of your soul. 🌟🪷
The very best of luck with your new family. Take good care of yourself. Thank you for all your videos and being the sensitive soul that you are. I find myself turning to listen to your voice and videos when I feel life becoming too much.
I'll pray for a safe arrival of your sweet baby.❤ Take care Paola, we will miss you!
Motherhood is the greatest joy! Many blessings on you and your growing family! ❤️
the very very best to you !!! will miss your posts ❤
How beautiful are the people on cottage fairy channel...im tearful just reading such lovely things people have said and felt over the years....no anger, jealousy, judgement like on some channels just exactly what the cottage fairy is about..love,peace serenity being alive. Thank you for being there for us.. sending so much back to you. 💞
Thank you for stopping. We’ll see you soon with your new bundle in tow. Many blessings.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you ready yourself for giving birth to your baby boy. My life has become so much better after watching my first video when you lived in your small cottage in the woods.❤❤❤❤
I'm praying for you and your new adventure of being a mom. It's the best. Being a grandmother is even better.
Thats beautiful, and you could not have said it any better. There is always a healthy sense of "fear" when bringing and meeting a new human being, designed especially for your family. In a sense, everyone and everything is new, so you learn and grow together, each moment of the day. You have each other, and that is so special. I will be thinking of you, and am sending my love also. Thank you for giving so much.
We will certainly miss you! My own daughter, 6, looks forward to watching your work, and asks for the "Calm Girl" at least once weekly. You've had a beautiful impact, Paola! Enjoy the moments with that blessed little one. They surely fly by when we aren't looking.
Take care, wish you the best. I will be binge watching all your videos. I will be here when you come back. I’m sending you so much love and you’re going to be an amazing Mother. ❤️
We will miss your reassuring voice on our hardest days. It was always such a comfort to see life through your eyes. Be so happy with your new little one. It truly is a gift to be a mother & I have no doubt you will enjoy every second. ❤ Much love.
We love you, Paola! Blessings to your family! Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us; You have touched many.
you are probably the wisest person on youtube to make this decision. wishing you and your family all the best.
We will wait for you... May God bless you and all the best for a new journey
I was introduced to your videos by a dear friend. I hadn’t experienced anything like it before. Your videos are beautiful and heartwarming and spread love and joy into the world. You are a special soul and I wish you and your family lots of love, peace and happiness. 💜🙏
Much love back to you and your growing family.
it has been an utter joy to come upon your channel Paola. i hope the birth of your son goes really well and without incident. thanks for your inspiration, transparency, love of nature and life. i wish you and your family all the best!
