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 ❤
if you find out a way to jar that silence, I'll be first in line! My soul is longing for scandinavia
Hello! I just happened upon your videos. You and Esa make a perfect couple! I really enjoy learning about your wonderful life. You are a treasure! Thank you for sharing! I'm a new subscriber and I live in Pennsylvania, USA. God Bless both of you!🙏🤗
Sanna. Thank you for sharing your lovely Life and World 🌎🌍 with us. 🥰🇺🇲
This looks like an introvert's idea of heaven!! At least for me....cold weather, dogs, and quiet surroundings!!😃
Yes, me too.
Not a small, boring life at all. Immensely rich and rewarding! You are in tune with what really matters.
I LOVE SIMPLE, UNCOMPLICATED LIFE. WE SHOULD LIVE THIS WAY
You have a wonderful authentic, quality and rewarding life. Honestly, I think most people would rather have your life than having an urban, busy city life. You are so connected to the land and that’s what most people would want. ❤
I totally agree. 😊❤
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.
I feel exactly the same way! A blessed life looks different for everyone but social media would have you believe otherwise. I too have a simpler life and I feel extraordinarily lucky! x
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...
Many people have lost touch with the real world. I am so pleased that you have found the ingredients to a fulfilling life. Best wishes to you both.
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-)
Omg did I just find Finnish Jonna Jinton? Yess, cant wait to watch more of this channel!!
That's what I just said to my daughter! They are different enough though. But in the beginning she sounds like Jonna!
Wie süss, die Ruhe in ein Glas einfangen und jedem zusenden🥰....ein Ruhiges Leben im Einklang was wichtig ist 👏👍
Ciao Sanna,mi chiamo Fanny e sono una nuova iscritta al tuo meraviglioso canale. Ti scrivo dall’Italia,più precisamente Milano, dove sono nata e vivo. 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. 🇮🇹 ❤ 🇫🇮
Love your videos. I am in North Dakota, USA. Our winters are very much like yours. Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission just to learn to “be” in our own homes. I am learning that a quiet and peaceful life is found in my own home. There is nothing “ out there” for me any more.
I'm half Norwegian and I'm also not a chatty person. I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico US; I'm a skier and a knitter - I'm jealous of your stash of yarn at 12:07! I love this video - I will watch it again later. It's all the things I enjoy I life. Thank you!
I actually gasped out loud when I saw her shelves full of yarn. It was like a glimpse of heaven!😊
I will love learning about the Finnish life from you! I am from Alabama, USA!
Hey, annieg9636. I’m from Alabama too. I just love this channel. I relax at night watching their videos. It’s so peaceful and Sanna and Esa are so endearing and welcoming. They live a full and rewarding quiet life. What a lovely couple. ❤
@@TooStinkinFine I live north of Birmingham!
Your life is so lovely. My husband and I are very quiet people, which sometimes feels awkward in the UK. Watching you is like a little meditation. Thank you x
So are we...you are not alone in UK!
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.
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
I am glad to hear that being quiet is not rude or strange in Finland.
Yes I could feel and hear the silence. I go out into the desert here in Arizona and have that same experience. Thank you.
I'm 100% Finnish, but I don't really feel like it as I was born in Australia. I'm learning from you more than I have from my parents, as you speak English so well. I have lost the ability to speak Finnish, but I did understand a few words you spoke here. It just warms my heart everything about your life. Thank you for sharing.
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
You're right, her English is excellent with a very fine vocabulary of many words. Many English people can't match it!
I've just discovered you last night and I have to say I'm quite impressed you and your husband have a calming effect on me I feel a sense of Serenity and peace so I will continue watching and I am very thankful for the effort you put into everything to make it possible like to introduce myself my name is Kenny I'm irish-american living in the USA ☘️🇨🇮🇺🇲☘️ and I want to thank you and your husband for allowing me into your life thank you 😊
You are talking about very important things of human being in the world. Thank you.
Alicja from Poland
Hey Alicja🌹🌹
Can i ask a cool question please??
Yes
In the mountains of North Idaho, they have Tamarack trees that have the same Yellow hair that you call Saava, growing on the ends of the branches. There, the folk call the hair Bears Hair. Skal
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
Привет Санна у нас тоже много снега но я уже посадила на рассалу цветы. Помидоры чуть позже посажу. А пока во дворе оттаял рододендрон и из сугроба показались веточки гортензии.
Greetings from Upstate South Carolina(Westminster), in America! Our Spring has begun! Winter was very mild! We had no snow. I never wore a coat…only a sweater. Yellow Forsythia & Jonquils have just finished blooming. RedBud trees are beginning to put forth their beautiful pink blossoms. They are now mature, 15+ feet tall; I began growing them @ 12-18” tall. They’re my babies! Have a blessed day!
Дякую за це спокійне, приємне, цікаве та гармонійне відео!
Як би я хотів вести такий спосіб життя!
Enchanting, I’m a fan of slow living, I don’t go out much and am happy to potter around my home and spend the summers in my garden growing food and flowers and creating a new forest type garden ( teeny tiny in comparison to your forest ). Thank you for sharing your love of your forest and home. I am so envious of your knitting skills. I used to watch my mum knit when I was little but alas,I have never been able to master this, my mum was so creative.
Hey Sandra 🌹🌹
Can i ask a cool question please??
Oh Sanna, this was the loveliest video to enjoy with my very own cup of evening chamomile tea! 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. Greetings and much love and appreciation from my little home in New Zealand! xx
Meraviglia di vita....profumi della natura, musica del silenzio, quiete dell'anima...ti invidio tanto!!!
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!
MUST BE BEAUTIFUL THERE DURING CHRISTMAS SEASON.
We also have Naava, in Cordova, Alaska. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks Heaps.
I find your vlogs to be very calming and healing. Its quite difficult to articulate exactly how I feel, but I wanted to say 'thank you' for sharing such natural beauty, earthly wisdom and a sense of peace. Wishing you every success with your business - I hope that us/we - your new TH-cam friends - will be able to help it grow and grow :-)
I love this girl ❤ Wonderful life; wonderful video - thank you for sharing, Sue in the UK x 🇬🇧
I found you today and have watched two of your videos and they are charming. What a beautiful way of life.
Beautiful snow beautiful landscape beautiful life Greetings from Romania With love Rody❤❤❤
I was smiling all the time while watching your video! I love your smile and your energy and it's so nice to see you being happy and living your life. I feel so inspired and would love to have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake with you! I'm looking forward to your next video! You fulfilled my fridaynight! I wish you a nice weekend! (Your dogs are sooo damn cute!!!)
Thank you Sanna! I love your videos.
You have a wonderful life Sanna and I enjoy it,but can you please make a video on how you make bread,how you got your dogs,where you and your husband met etc
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.
Sanna, Absolutely lovely and cozy videos from you in Finland! I like your style and your heritage/culture! Your sweaters that you knit are gorgeous! 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,. You have a very nice way of articulating English, very kind and thoughtful. Take Care and Bravo with your youtube videos‼ 💟☮☯🕉
I wish you had a sweater shop online. A lot of people would buy from you. You have such a talent with the needle!
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. ❤
Such soothing relaxing videos. Your voice is very calming and mesmerizing. Look forward to your videos. You do a splendid job!
Thank you all the way from from Texas!
I just found your channel…. love it!
I grew chamomile for the first time last summer, harvested the flower heads, dried them, and make my own chamomile tea. It’s so easy, and so good! You will love it!
Thanks for sharing, this was very lovely 😊
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. 🌈☮️☃️❄️🧶
What a ✨Beautiful day! ✨Thank you, Sanna, for sharing and greetings from Kainuu Region! 🍀
Relaxing videos! I found your channel not long. Also, slowly learning some Finnish. I think it’s been about a year since I started.
Kiitos for the videos!
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
And leave the house with the front door open. Wow. I have never done anything like that in my entire life. I wonder what it is like to do that. Amazing.
Thank you for your channel. The quiet stillness and beauty of your soul, your home and your land is enchanting and wonderful to watch. 🕊🙏❄️
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! It seems so incredibly peaceful ♥️
I’m so glad I found this channel !! I absolutely love it !! Keep making these wonderful videos !!
Thank you. You are a blessing.😊
So happy to see you again ❤
An absolute beautiful video. Thank you for sharing! We love watching from Wisconsin, USA.❤
❤❤❤
I heard Finland 🇫🇮 is top country on peaceful places ( and happiest ) list .
I agree .😊
Dear Sanna, thank you so much for your sharing for these beautiful video!
Super! ❤❤
I have just found your videos and enjoy them so much. Thanks for sharing🙋♀️
You are living a beautiful life. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Please keep posting. I’m originally from Finland. I moved to the US 36 years ago. I love your videos. They have made me think of life and how I can simplify everything.
Again, you have brought a beautiful picture of your life to us. Thank you. It was beautiful ❤️
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life. Your dogs are precious.
This video was so interesting ! So peaceful 😌. Thank you for sharing your daily life with us ❤
Ni lever ett så harmoniskt och fint liv! Kram från södra Sverige ❤
So beautiful! Thank you.
thank you for your content, and congratulations for all! you are so sweet!!
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks for the insight into your day your videos are so inspiring and refreshing to watch thank you take care and stay safe ❤❤❤
Thank you for another amazing video! The beauty there, tugs at my heart. Have you ever tapped into the birch trees in the spring? I have seen it done, but have never done it myself. But I have tapped maple trees. Stay warm!
Fantastic experience, thank you, I love it and so relaxing! I love your country and your life!! 🙏
Thank you for showing us your day. It was so lovely to follow your slow pace of life - and to see Esa speeded up in the rocking chair, which was so funny!
Just lovely. :) I wish I could hear that silence in the snow but I can imagine it. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful area of the world with us. It is such a magical where you live!❤
Your life is beautiful and the silence! So rare and breathtaking!
Your energy is so calm and soothing. Thank you for sharing perfectly simple and full life with us 🥰
Your video is so therapeutic! It's very calming to watch and helps me to de-stress. Good work!
Ihana video ja teidän aamiainen tiivisti suomalaisuutta, kiitos! Tulee lapsuus mieleen Suonenjoella.
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.
Sanna, what a wonderful and awesome life that one you have!!! It is so nice to see you so very happy in that peaceful village. I am glad I found you up there in Finland. I am writing from Chile on the other side of the World. I love your videos, and your beautiful house. Thanks for sharing such a marvellous life, the one you have in the wood. Congratulations , thanks, and lots of love. Rose
This was a Dimond....Thanks for this down to earth simple country life. Would love to visit Finland... It's beautiful!!
Great! I like people of few words. Like the landscape as well. Beautiful place , a lot of snow.
Bellissimo video,ti seguo mi piace vedere dove vivi la foresta è fantastica con la neve, un saluto dall'Italia ❤
I just watched your video after a very stressful week in the IT job I work. Your videos really never disappoint!
You built such a beautiful and nice home from the old house. Seeing Papu lying on her back reminds me of my own shepherd mix dog. Mine also loves this. You are really blessed to be surrounded by this silent landscape. While it might seem boring I'm sure many people would give a lot to live such a life. Whenever I want to experience silence like this I have to go very very far and deep into some forest or mountains.
And still one meter of snow ... wow. I went into the local woods today to brew up coffee. I brought a cell foam pad and lay in the sun for over an hour. It's basically spring here already.
Take care and thank's for sharing!
I would love a tour of your house! Specially that fireplace/baking owen looks intrested. Wery nice to follow you for a day! Thank you! Spring is just around the corner so… Tsemppiä!
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. 🚛🚜✈
New subscriber here. I love your simple cabin life! It's so beautiful!
Hello - I am enjoying your videos very much! I too love the silence of the snow. I am in Pennsylvania in USA, and we did not have much snow this winter - I missed it. I love how you talk about “who owns the Forrest” .
I love the quiet, simple, beautiful life you live. It seems like a treasure in this chaotic world. Thank you for sharing.😊
Greetings from Brazil, I really enjoy watching your videos and seeing life in Finland, a country that I really like, I wish you Sanna Vaara and everyone all the best! 🇧🇷👋🏻🇫🇮
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.)
Thank you for this nice,calm and rich day full of true life...❤
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 ;)
What a beautiful, fulfilling, contented, stress-free lifestyle. And a lovely privilege that you get to enjoy a real winter. 😊
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.❤
Thank you I stumbled across your beautiful window into your peaceful life and it fills me with joy
Your videos always bring me so much joy 🤗🫶
Really enjoyed this one! I think you need to let go of what others are doing and enjoy the process of sharing your life. You have many followers and they love you. You have a quality TH-cam channel. Thank you so much!
I have been your videos frequently since I discovered you on TH-cam. I feel so relaxed and peaceful when I watch them. Your comments about the beauty of nature and silence resonate with me. I also love to go to road trips alone. In one of your videos you said that you just got on your van and started your trip with no specific plans. I love that! You also mentioned that having no plans relaxes you and comforts you. It is the same with me. Keep making videos. You are doing a fantastic job. 🙂
