    Ah, I've again sunk in your comments. I keep reading them over and over again. Thank you ❤❤ Your kindness, love and warmth is transmitted even through this screen of mine. I'm happy to hear there are s many of you who also enjoy a quiet, simple life. If not possible in the moment in your own life, you are on the way there. Maybe one day we are the majority, and the world could have more peace, silence and slow down its hectic rhythm? I hope so. Thank you for being here with me ❤

    There’s nothing small or boring about your life. I think it’s wonderful. It peaceful and satisfying to watch. When I was on social media I used to compare myself and my life to other peoples and it always made me feel so bad and I always thought I should be doing what everyone else is doing. But now that I’ve been off social media for the last 5 years I feel so much happier. I don’t compare myself anymore and I love my life. I realized I don’t have to be doing what everyone else is doing. I’m happy and satisfied doing my day to day chores and errands. I’m happy staying home and hanging out with my husband. I don’t need to go out and spend money to be happy. My favorite thing to do is cuddle with my husband and cat. We watch our favorite shows and movies. We cook yummy food together on the weekends. I love it so much. It makes me happy.

      Yes,that's it and that means real life.Often is "to have less is to have more"and you can't loose yourself too fast or maybe never at all in "one project after another" until you've lost the deep connection to what you really love most.
      Don't grow too fast, mainly bloom...

    I used to be a kindergarten teacher. I'd come home and just want to be quiet. I live alone now and quiet is what I have! Sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone like Esa to share the quiet moments with. I knit and I read (and hike near the ocean, on trails, bike , kayak, skate a little, swim...) paint, watch the birds..and I think some people would think my life is boring. I don't care. Peaceful is what I love. And Sanna, I completely understand your yearning for a yarn store...you want to feel the yarn and see the real colors, right?

    How lucky I was to have bumped into your lovely channel in early January just a week or so before my wife and I briefly visited your enchanted part of the world! Watching your beautiful videos, the old and new ones, helps to keep our wonderful memories from fading away. Thank you.
    One more thing. Over the years, among other things, I have taught English as a foreign language, and I must tell you that your artistic and poetic use of English as a storytelling medium makes me fall even further in love with it. However, your references to silence at the breakfast table and in forest reminds me of something the 13th century Persian Poet, Rumi wrote, that "silence is the language of God; everything else is a poor translation." Your older dog had the most to say about this. 8-)

    Thank you for your explanation of Finnish culture regarding quiet time during meals. I resonate with this so deeply. Perhaps this is something I inherited from my Norwegian grandfather, so perhaps it is also a Scandinavian trait, and I should cherish that and respect that although I am different from most in the U.S. culture, it's a very valid feeling.

    • @turpasauna

    Sanna, teillä on kyllä todella kaunis ja hienosti sisustettu vanha hirsitalo! Upeat lattiat ja ovet. Hauska yksityiskohta oli myös keittiön valaisin, jonka huomasin olevan samanlainen kuin minun vanhempieni ruokapöydän yllä :) äitini kertoi, että se on heidän ensimmäinen ostos isäni kanssa 70-luvun alussa heidän yhteiseen kotiin, kun olivat vain 19-vuotiaita.
    Olen vasta vähän aikaa sitten löytänyt kanavasi, ja videot ovat tosi rauhoittavia. Mekin asumme mieheni kanssa taajaman ulkopuolella maaseutumaisessa ympäristössä, mutta kuitenkin hyvin lähellä kaikkia mukavuuksia Oulun seudulla. Olisi hauska kuulla pitempi tarina siitä, miten päädyit asumaan lappiin, miten tapasitte Esan kanssa ja mitä hän tekee työkseen?
    Kevät tulla jolkuttaa kovaa vauhtia, teillä ehkä vielä vähän hitaammin kuin meillä täällä "etelässä". Mukavaa maaliskuun jatkoa!

I tuoi video sono così belli,direi quasi curativi per me:vorrei avere intorno a me lo spazio vitale che hai tu,vorrei respirare l’aria pulita che c’è lì. Vorrei avere il silenzio che qui non c’è mai. Sono le cose che mi mancano di più. Anch’io come te amo i maglioni jacquard che sferruzzo con piacere. Io solo lavoro con 4 Ferri e tengo il filo a destra! So che per te sarà molto impegnativo montare questi bei video e io per questo ti ringrazio davvero tanto. Con essi fai del bene a tante persone e devi davvero essere orgogliosa di questo. Complimenti per il tuo inglese perfetto. Ciao a presto e un caro saluto anche al tuo ragazzo. 🇮🇹 ❤ 🇫🇮

    Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful life with us. The finnish people are usually called the thinkers. If one suffers on stress - they need to make holiday in Finland. There time goes differently and there is such a quality of life. I have many finnish colleagues and they are unique. Quiet, smart - very pleasant to have around. I'm german and I really love the finish people! And of course your country. What is Naava translated to english? Is it a moss? Is it lichen? The silence you mentioned - when I was a kid, I sat for hours during the dark winter hours in the snow just to listen to the silence. never found that again. I need vacation in Finnland

So much of how you live and what you talk about really speaks to my heart - I especially love your connection to nature and the love you have for your forest. And that beautiful moment of pure silence and stillness! What a special moment, I can only imagine how magical and blissful that would feel. I too had a similar moment on my walk through the trees, with only the sound of a gentle breeze and some lovely birds. A simple life connected to nature is truly so beautiful.

Love the longer one you went skiing in with turtleneck. You have the right idea about living in the country, lots of solitude, not filling up every air space with words at meals, and creativity with your kitting and work....I would be out crossing country skiing too, everyday! I live on the coast of Maine, USA, and I love to cross country ski, and unfortunately, we don't get as much snow now, with global warming 😢 I think the forrest belongs to the animals, because it is their home,.

    Silence in nature, is very healing. I moved to a very small, rural town and it used to be like that here. But when you have a neighbor that insists on constantly blasting their music, it ruins it. boom boom boom boom boom, first thing in the morning. 6am, 7am, 6am, etc. I long for peace and quiet 😭 You are very blessed to have that.
    I grow chamomile, too. If you pull the flowers off once they form, it will keep producing all season, more and more. I love it. I even open the jar I store them in, just to smell it. It's wonderful.

    Hello from California ~ I think your thoughts about how humans and so many animals 'own' or believe they own the same forest is wonderful! I can imagine a simple children's story with outstanding illustrations of the forest in all seasons and the wanderings of the animals that share your forest. I am an American Finn-Swede - our village is Korsnas/Korsbäck on the west coast of Finland just south of Vaasa. My Mom was first generation American with both of her parents coming from Österbotten. My mom's first cousin worked as a doctor in Rovaniemi for a while and I have travelled to Norway's Samiland twice and spent time on the tundra in both summer (trekking) and winter (snowmobile across the high plateau) near the Sami Parliament and to Kautokeino, a Sami town. While I walked alone on the snow-packed streets of the town in winter, I felt such ease and so safe. I learned recently that I am 32% Finnish (and about 23% Swedish) and my maternal genetic line (Haplogroup K1C1) is from Siberia from a female 10K years ago who scientists refer to as Kristine. California is far too hot for me and my children. We all suffer through the summer's heat and rejoice in the winter which is still very mild, naturally. We crave the cold and are most energetic in cold conditions. All of my family is still in Suomi-Finland and now in Sweden and Norway, too. My kids and I are the last Americans left in the USA. I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. Kiitos!

    Greetings! I grew up in the state of Maine, in New England (born: 1951). I remember drifts so high in winter that we had to practically shovel the house out from under them. The crust of the snow would get so hard because of the low temperatures we could skate on top of it. I lived in a four-room log cabin that my father built while he was building our permanent home. (We had an outhouse rather than a bathroom--that was no fun.) We had an Irish Setter named Sunday who loved the snow. Later my father built his own line of sleds and raced huskies and malamutes. We all skied and used shoe shoes. Yup! We followed animal tracks, as well. This woman's house looks quite a bit like my dad's log cabin! (Hmmm. Do the dogs understand English and Norwegian? If so, they're darn smart!) I can certainly relate to the climate!! I've always felt very much a part of nature; to me, the planet really belongs to the other species. But, then, I'm a bit different!
    For the last two decades I've lived in St. George, Utah, in the American Southwest. The older I became, the less I could deal with the snow, sleet, rain, and cold. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the nation, with five major national parks: Zion, Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. It's a fascinating geological area that is studied by geologists from all over the world. The Grand Canyon is just a few hours away in Arizona. I spend a great deal of time driving the roads throughout southern Utah.
    I subscribed, Sanna! I'll keep watching and try to lend any support I can. Good luck! Lana Lorenzen

    Minute 19:13 ...omg I have the same exact thoughts about my piece of land and when I speak with some people that talk about animals that live in that land they sometimes say, referring to the animals, " why don't they go in their land instead of mine! " ..and that's when I usually say, "maybe this is its land and you came after" ...and that's when people stare at me like if I were an Alien!

    Always amazed at how beautiful and wonderfully peaceful your countryside is in your clips Sanna. I was just thinking how great it would be to feel the quietness and silence of it all in the first part. Then you surprised me at 20min mark with your remarks upon it. I love the grey cast winter wonderland, the pristine cleanliness of Naava's meaning in life. You live a very interesting life Sanna.

    It fills my heard with love and joy while watching your Videos. With my husband i moved from germany to sweden. We run our own farm with our own forest. And i had the same thoughts about owning a forest. This evening I stay in the kitchen and prepare lots of apples in different kind of ways for the winter and enjoy your wonderful Videos. Every time you bring me more back to myself. Thank you for beeing you

    I watched your beautiful video last night, but this is the first chance I have had to leave a comment.
    In it you mentioned reading before sleep - something I do regularly and have done so for very many years. Last night, I watched your video, which was at the same time peaceful and calm, but also inspiring. In many ways, it takes me back to my childhood, and to my grandparents (I am a grandfather myself now, so it can be a bit of a stretch 😁). Their life was uncluttered compared to many lives these days. They grew their own vegetables, kept chickens, and ate the seasons produce - no broccoli was flown in from Kenya back then! Too many people have lost touch with the natural world. I am so grateful to see that you have not, and enjoy every moment of your videos. I also appreciate how hard you both work to achieve the most basic things, such as keeping warm! My very best wishes to you both

    Great point you make about silence. 😇 Outside in rural N Scotland, you wouldn`t believe the amount of near-constant engine noise: road vehicles, farm vehicles, different sorts of aircraft, whether at home or far up some remote glen. Not forgetting my lawn mower, garden shredder, etc. I only noticed it after making a few test videos. 🚛🚜✈

    It's my first time seeing this channel and the video and I must admit that you are living my dream life and I have been considering to move to Finland for half a year now. I hope I move to Finland for a better work-life balanced and simple life after all of my student courses.

    I am so admiring your wonderful SIMPLE LIFE. It is a very touching warm scene that you sit in a rocking chair with an adorable dog by your side. I am working and living in a city. I am wishing that I will have my own dog with me (and my husband) to enjoy a relaxing simple life in a countryside when I am retired. But I never have a pet. Is it easy to learn how to adopt a dog?

      I have lived in both Brazil and Finland! These countries are like total opposites! I loved all the hugs and kisses I got in Brazil, and how social people are! And I love the deep serious conversations you can have with Finns, once the ice is broken. So much love in both countries! (I'm half Finnish, living in Sweden.)

    Thanks for pointing out the trap we can fall into with social media. Comparison is the root of low self-esteem I read once. Your channel just inspires me to be more me, because you remind me of parts of myself that have gone on the backburner ;)

    Sanna , I think you have a good, and simple life, uncluered like it is in the rest of the world. I like your cabin also. It's a bit cold for my taste but you can all seem to handle it well. I love your dogs, they are family too. Especially the little Shelty. ❤

    I love your life! I live simply on an island in the north east of the US and love it. We seem to have so much in common, though I am about 40 yrs older than you. I am the only family member to live this way, everyone else are city people, with so much going on, staying up late and just not being connected to "Mother nature". I also love the inside of your cozy home, particularly the room you had your carrot cake/coffee in. My days are also filled with needlework, photography, veggie garden design for the upcoming season and just plain ol trying to relax a very "noisy" mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such a wonderful way to live. Good luck with your business, I wish I could help, but too far to give any to you.

    Nature gives us all kinds of medicines and clues as to what each example can be used for. Naava, also known as Grandfather's beard or Usnea, has medicinal qualities that benefit the lungs. It grows in the very clean air in the forest and it helps clear the lungs. Thanks for sharing your day in the beautiful wild Northern Country.

    Love your videos and the calmness of them. I'm really glad you found this while you are young. I'm watching from Nova Scotia where I finally came home after too many years away and found my peace and calm. There simply isn't anything better than the quiet and serenity of a snowy day. It's almost palpable. I live in a small A Frame cottage overlooking a small lake. It's where I live and write in pure contentment. I recently found you and I'm starting at the beginning of your videos and catching up.❤

    I’m envious of your life. I love the slowed down pace of things and there’s comfort in consistency. Everyone has their own natural rhythm or routine. Yours is more in tune to mine and I’m never bored. When I have free time, I like you, love to knit. Your setting and snowy wonderland is very beautiful. I can’t wait to see your next video. 🌈☮️☃️❄️🧶

    I agree that your life is not at all boring, but instead, it is beautiful. You are honest, and you appreciate everything and you take such great care to work and recharge again to keep a healthy balance. I love that you are quiet together. I am a quiet person. I love winter here for the reason that it is so quiet. My heart is full of joy when I am walking in snow in the woods. This winter Minnesota did not get snow as usual. I missed it so much. I'm thankful to see you enjoying it. You are a blessing.
