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!!!

Your presence is like a gentle sprinkle of fairy dust, leaving a sparkle wherever you go. I will surely miss your radiant smile and your heartfelt messages that will echo in my memories like a favorite melody. So grateful for the soulful moments you’ve shared with us, that we’ll cherish during your absence. Your kindness is a reminder of the pixies from our favorite tales, always there to lend a helping hand with a touch of enchantment. As you take this time for yourself, may you be surrounded by love and serenity. Let this be a period of introspective reflection, a chance to connect with the new life you’re about to bring into this world. I thank you for every moment, every lesson, and every smile. I eagerly await your return, but until then, know that you are deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.

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. ✌🏼♥️🙂

    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.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Paola, for the difference you have made in my life and in the lives of so many. “Life-changing” is a phrase used often, but your videos have truly been that for me. I echo one of your viewers who commented that your videos are a warm embrace that I never knew I needed. I've begun to look at myself differently - more gently, more forgivingly. The natural scenery, your beautiful home, outlook on life, approach to living simply/slowly, words of wisdom, the way in which you treat and view yourself/others - all have greatly impacted my well being. (And your baked treats always look so delicious!) I often watch your videos at night before going to bed, or whenever I need comfort and solace. Your gentle, soothing voice, along with the meditative quality of your videos put me at ease. How lucky we all are to have someone so wise, so empathetic, so kind, so bright, and so self-loving in our lives. I find myself moved to tears at the thought of how one person can possess such qualities to the degree that you do. I have never met you and will likely never meet you. But I somehow feel safe and understood. Even the way in which you say “goodbye” at the ends of your videos touches me deeply. Thank you, Paola, for teaching us how to love ourselves and for being a shining light in this world. Your family has raised you well, and your son is blessed to have a mother like you. You and Luke will be wonderful, loving parents. I will look forward to seeing you again whenever the time is right. Sending my best wishes. ❤

    Yes, I, too, hope that you educate your child at home, by Unschooling him. Unschooling truly is a thing and it’s a wonderful thing for a child. You would be the most perfect Unschooling mother. Look up Sandra Dodd and Unschooling for a wealth of information. It’s a lifestyle for the whole family. I unschooled my daughter and she is currently working on her masters degree and has a life that she loves. She is amazing!
