good no ritalin! Unless you are completely unable to function in life without it, there is no reason to take it. Ritalin was given to subdue and control children and to stop their wonderful, limitless enthusiasm for life and creativity. Consider get a ninja blender it can take a beating and keep on spinning. Sometimes you can find them almost new at thrift shops. Your fur baby is coming along beautifully...will you get it a friend? will you get it fixed? Be Blessed forest child!
Matt and your lives actually has nothing to do with any of us. That's how relationships mess up, they add others to it. But I've seen him many times helping you. Just being there for you is a job well done
Han! Despero is getting so big! I have to say, at 19:21 her skin looks a little irritated. The pine shavings might be a bit too rough for her baby skin. Kay Cob is often used for gerbils, and its natural to boot! I'd also recomend paper pellets. I love seeing her, and mean no ill will by this comment. Y'all keep thriving
I was more under the impression that Matt respects your capableness, self-sufficiency, and individuality. I notice that he helps when asked rather than assume you need or want help, in that way not depriving you of the satisfaction of knowing your own worth and abilities. I think you've got a real gem, there. Ultimately, all that really matters is that your relationship works for you and Matt. No one else's opinion matters. I do want to say that this is probably your all time best video from start to finish, to date. I don't even know where to start except to say your mouse habitat is the best I could ever imagine! What I can't figure out is the container. What did you use to make it? I hope you made a video.
Oy oi oi, here I sit being lazy at 10AM and I'm a mere 7 minutes into the video and Hannah's already got me outta my chair to do some chores. Bless you Hannah. Anyone else get inspired/motivated to GET UP while watching Hannah? I swear I can not watch her and stay seated the entire time lol
Body mirroring is a really common thing. Whenever my friends and I need to get something done, we FaceTime, talk about the things we want to accomplish (also see whine) and then finally someone starts doing it and then the other person does it too without noticing. It’s really helpful for adhd and executive dysfunction and task paralysis.
You inspire me more than you know. I'm older, 56 and struggle with motivation ...my girls are in their 20's, busy with school, life, jobs, out doing their own thing...and at this time I'm on my own...and it's been a challenge ..I love your zest for life! Your ideas. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
I wish someone would write a children’s story about you and your little mouse. Your cabin life and mouse adventures would make an amazing series of children’s books. ❤️ 🐭
Loved this video. I’m curious to see if the moss grows on your driveway. That would look so good. What a great idea. Sweet baby mouse is doing well and I LOVE his house with all the latest decorations and activities.
Often times if my husband tries to get involved in my things I’m like “What’re you doing? Please stop. That’s not how I wanted that” because we tooootally have our projects together but genuinely I do love doing a lot of things myself and I feel like we’ve watched you for so long that it’s unfair as hell to try to say Matt doesn’t help when 1. I’m sure the time you spend together is not just the little glimpse we see on videos because you’re entitled to your privacy and it would be silly to think we see it all and 2. You’re two different people who have two different lives that you’re living independently together. 💙 don’t let them be butts to you guys. You’re great.

Hey I just wanted to let you know that rats/mice should never be kept in a tank. They are animals that need proper ventilation. Plus since they have no bathroom they pee where they stand. Rat/mice pee has a lot of ammonia in it which can build up in the tank and cause serious health problems. Most are respiratory diseases. It’s best to get a wire cage that has less than 1cm gap between bars so they can’t escape but can still get proper ventilation.
Despero is so cute 😍 you could make her "tunnels". You could use wood and 1/4 in hardware cloth. Make LONG rectangles, 2 to 3 in tall, and the same wide. Mount them high on the walls.
“I don’t really know what I’m doing but I wanna get a start on it” - adhd anthem always Funny last night I was thinking is my “impulsive” decisions really a problem, it’s often labeled negatively but like I’ve gotten so much done and so many new things done when I started listening to them.

None of this was weird tbh. I'm someone who's into gardening and going outside to just do what needs to be done is something every productive person does.

Honestly being without a cellphone helped my adhd A LOT.
"Why am I ignoring all of these? Many good things would come if I just give in to all of them." Áaah, so relatable. Since I've been diagnosed with ADHD, I understand my scattered thoughts, motivational holes and chaotic persona better. It's a process though, and it's not easy. But watching you doing all of those amazing projects shows me how it's possible for me, too! Wishing you a sunny day, Hannah :)
I took ritalin for ADHD when I was younger as well. I got lucky and found a job that lets me handle 5 to 15 projects at once so I can bounce around and not get to board. Embrace ADHD it is from our hunter gather days, we are the hunters, we notice everything and react. It is a huge advantage.
I love this comment. I have ADHD too, and my brain is so happy doing lots of different things. I can really relate to what you wrote. I tried Ritalin for a week, but it just wasn’t a good fit for me.
I’m so glad you found your balanced life! I unknowingly lived with ADHD my whole life, it always was hell on earth and I thought a lot why should I live this way when there’s no joy, only suffer, now at 26yo I slowly start to dabble into medication after I got diagnosed. It seems to help a little, although my dose is very small still. I hope I can live with it in peace one day
@@wellhello1603 Good luck finding your balance. It was not until I was 33 that I found my place at my current job. Before that I never stayed anywhere more then a year or so. Love the passion and focus when you take on new projects, then don't worry when you lay them aside for the new all consuming project. Each thing you do teaches you something new and makes you more balanced and complete, not less. It took me time to realize and accept this idea and I hope you do so as well. Good luck and keep watching the squirrels:)
@@wellhello1603 just remember to never let anyone tell what you should or shouldn't put in your body. Adhd medicine isn't for everyone but others prefer to use it. There will always be that one person telling you that you should or shouldn't use it. Just find what's best for you.
Hi Hannah, I am 52 years old and have ADHD. I am sure of this after watching you live your life out here. I have operated similar to the way you do. I am extremely impulsive, spontaneous, creative, love changing my clothes often, and love new things, experiences and challenges. It's hard to fit in sometimes in this society. I have found my path with my gardening career. Thank you for sharing this and having the courage to live the way you wish!
Honestly as someone who was diagnosed with adhd from a young age and has been struggling major lately accomplishing things, its so nice and kind of funny to see lot of the content creators I follow pretty frequently, talk openly about it and handle their shit and live life
Finally got my Hannah "fix". You inspire me... and always leave me wanting more. My routine: Go pick another random Hannah video from the past and then get busy as inspired by you. I love that you love your sweet mousey and I cannot wait to see if your moss experiment comes to fruition. Thanks for uploading sweet girl! xo
hannah, i already commented on this vid like 3 times but i cant express how much peace your videos bring me. it is truly like an escape from reality for me and i love how you thrive when you have a lot of things to do (or youre very good at making it seem like you do) im similar in that sense i enjoy responsibility bc it brings me some extra purpose. i hope youve been doing better and feel less stressed with filming 🤓
I’m also super adhd and I absolutely love this idea to just do follow my impulses !!! This is great! I’ve never thought about this and I’m a horrible procrastinator I leave my self to many projects I end up extremely overwhelmed with nothing done. This is definitely the best adhd challenge I’ve seen yet. Thanks Hanna !
Hannahhhhhh this just made my life! I recently found you and watched some of your videos and loved them so much and thought “I bet Hannah has adhd!”. I also have adhd and I live alone in the forest. I’m a new RUclips creator and told my friend I feel so inspired by your videos because they’re so authentic and not as super perfectly curated as a lot of creators I see (which isn’t relatable for me). So excited to follow along more 🥰
i was just thinking about how the one thing to make my day perfect would be one of your videos, and i got to doing my chores while considering rewatching an old one... then as soon as i decide to take a break i see this, lucky me! thank you for the video
Hello Hannah. I was so happy to see your post today and wanted to say thank you for letting us into your home. You are ray of light and truly an inspiration as you’ve helped me slowly get back into the swing of things so to speak. My Daughter (my only child) passed away and it’s been very hard to be productive these days. The Christmas tree is still up ( I did take off the decorations though!). I thought about decorating it for the different holidays. It’s now bare and looks a massive plant in my living room. It actually looks pretty and I don’t have to worry about watering it so that’s a good thing. Then there’s the bag of potting soil that’s been sitting on the patio for a couple of months now waiting for me to repot my plants. After watching you plant the seeds and make your moss concoction I now feel motivated so I’ll repotting tomorrow. My plants will be so very happy for that. I must say you’ve done a beautiful job with your cottages and property. I also really liked what you decorated your van. I bought a 19ft Motorhome a couple of years ago and have been wanting to do a DIY makeover on it. I got some great ideas from your decorating and DIYs. Hopefully my makeover will start sometime in the near future. Your baby mouse is so adorable and looking very healthy....You’re a great Mouse Mom!!Now that I’ve written a book I’ll stop here and say thank you for the video....I’m looking forward to your next one. Enjoy the rest of your weekend !! 🌞🌷
Hi, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for the loss of your Daughter. I can't imagine the pain. My heart is sad for you and you are in my thoughts. 💐💛🌷 It's very normal that you would feel unmotivated after such a loss. I am an only child and was brought up by my Mum. A few years ago I came close to losing my life (I'm in my 30s) so your story touched me. How are your pot plants doing now? What sort of plants do you grow? I was late getting my seedlings in this year - vegetables and flowers- for health reasons. My Mum helped me plant them and some were shooting up after only a few days! Sending love and prayers for healing and comfort from Above 🕊💗 Blessings from Australia 🦘 Kylie 😊
I was just coming here to comment the same. I was involved with a small animal rescue for years and I was a mouse foster mom (among other titles). This has to be the best example of caring for a mouse I have seen on RUclips to date. ❤️
Hello! Your friendly biologist here! Spreading the info because I used to do this too! We actually don’t have to rake out leaves! Especially so early in spring. The bees and bugs live in there and when we rake all that up it’s kind of like tearing down their homes! So make spring easier on yourself and don’t rake the leaves 🍃 🌟 btw I loved the moss ideas and I’m going to have to try it haha
a forest note..no need to rake a forest unless you are going to develop the area.. the duff is what protects the area for habitat and feeds the soil and keeps it moist... Soil in nature is never bare... about the moss .. the buttermilk idea works best on brick or stone in a shaded moist area.. that is what it likes .. to get on soil it needs to be pretty moist location and can transplant or buy spores...
It's sending me how many people are calling her Desperado or Despero instead of Despereaux. Highly reccomend everyone read the book by Kate DiCamillo, it still holds up now even as an adult!
Does anyone else get super-involved with Hannah's videos -- like screaming "No!" when you think something's about to go horribly wrong? Or "Yessss!!" when she finishes something that's a real PITA? I'm like a dude watching football
Hi hanha I live in a mobile home lodge I have one of these little washer you just add a bucket of hot warter to your wash everything thing comes out clean and bright love your videos blessing and happiness to you from Scotland 🏴 😊🌈🌻🌈🌻🙏
Your home is beautiful in the spring with all the 🌸 Desparo is so adorable I am so happy you have her to keep you company in the woods. My son has ADHD and never took the medicine, it’s a struggle either way. I have missed you and Matt can’t wait for the next video
Honestly I'd love to hear more about your ADHD in a video, like a quick chat about it. I was recently diagnosed with it and am 25 this year. So it's been quite late in life for me too. It has explains so so much about what's happened in my life. On a separate note, I've always thought we would get on irl (lol I know I sound like a total loser), but I have this theory about adhd people liking other adhd people. I think cos our minds work at a quicker, jumpier pace and we care less about social rules and what others think, you just get this affinity. But yeah. Would love to hear more about it one time.
I only found out this year too! (im 28) I'm honestly just continuing living life like I always have, but it's nice to understand why i do somethings the way i do, and also have access to some "focus" meds- i only use them when i need to really sit down and crank shit out for a couple hours, and not on the regular cause i genuinely like the way my brain works and it's served me well thus far 😊
I was just thinking back on what this place was like when you first got it. I love how you've made it YOUR place. Transformed. Still transforming and wonderful. Plus now you have an adorable baby mouse. so cute.
Hannah, you are NEVER lazy. You always seem to be doing something. I'm 73 and so enjoy your videos. sort of living vicariously through you! LOL You are such a sweet girl and I hate to see you down. You change as many times as you want! Please take care and say hi to Matt. He's such a cutie! Hugs from Canada!!
Having a persistent impulse to get work done is a great thing, but don't forget that your enjoyment of life is the purpose. Schedule time for completion of things that make you happy, then relax!
I so love your videos. I've lived in my forest for 25 years and enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately, 2 years ago nursing caught up with me and I'm virtually unable to walk. Now, I enjoy my forest from windows and live, vicariously, through you. Thank you for being a younger version of me. You're so special 💗.
I will pray for you in JESUS'S NAME AMEN. I use a walker, I am slowing down. 68. Love, hugs and PRAYING. I live in S,E, MICHIGAN 👍🀄🌻🌹🤟. BLESSED MEMORIAL WEEKEND. CHOW 🌻🇺🇸🤟🤟🤟 love the smells of forest and fire 🔥 wood. Just gives me more breathing problems. I stay away. Love the miss idea. Hopefully it'll Work.
Just came across your channel......OMG Love your vibe, humor, determination, and zest for life. " If you want it done, then get it done" is a perfect motto. Thanks for the inspirations. 😇
My days are like that every day. I make to-do lists and by the end of the day I've done a lot of things and have nothing crossed off of my list! I've learned to live with it. Stuff gets done but in a round-about way. Love your style.
yes! I love when it rains (I live under the roof). Unfortunately, I have a busy road right in front my apartment, so I can't really enjoy it that much. But hearing it in Hannah's video made me very happy
Despero is the sweetest little girl, just loves a cuddle with her mama! So nice to see you allowing yourself to do whatever spring projects come to mind, it's a nice and carefree way to be especially when you worked so hard on so many big projects up til now!
Hi Hannah! The morning cuddle with little one was so sweet! I’m not sure if you answered somewhere in another video, but were you able to test the mice for any viruses? I hope you’re safe! ❤️
Fun fact! You don't need to get rid of the leaves (unless you really want to). The leaves will naturally decompose to make dirt and provide habitat for creatures, bugs and little plants.
My favorite video of yours of all time! Don't know why; can't explain it; maybe because you were smiling so much throughout this video because Desperó gives you so much joy. It made you glow. And yeah, why not follow your instincts and be spontaneous and go with the flow of the day?!? No rules!
You can’t release a domesticated mouse. You are a Mouse Mom for life 😀 Also poor Matt I’m sure he does his bit as Hannah said he didn’t sign up to become a RUclipsr also. Great vid as always x
HI Hannah! Thank you Thank you. Thank you. Watching your videos makes me feel like no matter what happens, everything IS OK! I also love watching you take care of your mouse, Despero. She is so lucky!
My great grandma raised a lost baby bird in her bra and there are many stories shared amongst family members how from time to time that bird stuck his head out of her bosom 🤗☺️🐦❤️
Build a compost pile , then when you are raking random parts of the forest you can claim it is to refill the compost bin. Mine is about 12 foot across, mostly roundish in shape, made of post and box wire. I fill it to over flowing each fall (about 5 foot deep), and it all rots before the next fall.
Ahh, I knew you had ADHD! Ever since I watched my first video of yours (and hyperfixated on your channel, oops) I just felt so certain you were a fellow ADHDer. I love how you embrace how your brain works and live a lifestyle that suits it. It’s definitely comforting and inspiring.
15:52 but your viewers respond, “Hannah always manages to figure it out and get it done!” You worked so hard on the driveway, I cannot wait to see the beautiful results! Of course Despero loves you! You are a great Mom. She is yours for life now.😊
Hi Hannah. I just graduated college and bought a van. I’m about to start van life. Do you have any tips and how do you deal with the people doubting you or judging you for the choosing van life?
Hey Aaron! You’ll find that people who are not into that lifestyle will judge you based on your choices but the truth is that you only need to focus on finding the people that do have the same interest as you, which in this case are other van lifers!
Hannah you have never stopped doing and moving forward. Take a look around yourself. You did it all yourself. You deserve a lot of credit. Necessity is the mother of invention and you prove this all the time. 💝 watching your videos. Love the little🐭 too💝

Really? I've never heard of it. I'm so excited to see how it works out!
It won't work at all, for many reasons.
Not sure about the rest of you all, but I’m extremely invested into Desperado and the moss. Really rooting for both to thrive!
Han! Despero is getting so big! I have to say, at 19:21 her skin looks a little irritated. The pine shavings might be a bit too rough for her baby skin. Kay Cob is often used for gerbils, and its natural to boot! I'd also recomend paper pellets. I love seeing her, and mean no ill will by this comment. Y'all keep thriving

Pine and cedar are actually not good for rodents. Pine is safer if kiln dried but cedar is never safe.
What happened to the rest
@@jinlin8087 Sadly, they passed away. Hannah did an amazing job nursing them all.
You could also just use sand or dirt.

Hi! Hannah did show how she made the habitat for the mice a couple of videos back. I Believe she used a glass display table or something!
@@sarahjohnson3747 Thanks. I must have missed a video. I'll try to find it.
People and there opinions.. just opinions…not truths

Loved this video. I’m curious to see if the moss grows on your driveway. That would look so good. What a great idea. Sweet baby mouse is doing well and I LOVE his house with all the latest decorations and activities.
The mouse could probably hear your heartbeat. Very soothing, and warm - a natural spot for a baby to snuggle.
this might just be my favorite video on youtube. its chaotic, its comforting, adhd cottagecore is definitly the superior genre

Matt also has a job everyone. Hannah is also is very independent one of the reasons we love her so much. 💕
Another inspiring video...the message I get..."I will allow myself..."
Hey I just wanted to let you know that rats/mice should never be kept in a tank. They are animals that need proper ventilation. Plus since they have no bathroom they pee where they stand. Rat/mice pee has a lot of ammonia in it which can build up in the tank and cause serious health problems. Most are respiratory diseases. It’s best to get a wire cage that has less than 1cm gap between bars so they can’t escape but can still get proper ventilation.
I think the cage has wire on the top part
the upper part is completely wired
it is wired... and I'm sure she keeps the cage clean
i am so invested in desperaux you don't understand😭😭
Despero is so cute 😍 you could make her "tunnels". You could use wood and 1/4 in hardware cloth. Make LONG rectangles, 2 to 3 in tall, and the same wide. Mount them high on the walls.
You and Matt are seriously relationship goals. How cute you two are with each other is so adorable it’s stupid.
very intrigued about how the moss is gonna turned out :D...also glad Desperado is well, she is so cute!

@@wellhello1603 just remember to never let anyone tell what you should or shouldn't put in your body. Adhd medicine isn't for everyone but others prefer to use it. There will always be that one person telling you that you should or shouldn't use it. Just find what's best for you.

Hi Hannah,
I am 52 years old and have ADHD. I am sure of this after watching you live your life out here. I have operated similar to the way you do. I am extremely impulsive, spontaneous, creative, love changing my clothes often, and love new things, experiences and challenges. It's hard to fit in sometimes in this society. I have found my path with my gardening career. Thank you for sharing this and having the courage to live the way you wish!
Honestly as someone who was diagnosed with adhd from a young age and has been struggling major lately accomplishing things, its so nice and kind of funny to see lot of the content creators I follow pretty frequently, talk openly about it and handle their shit and live life
Finally got my Hannah "fix". You inspire me... and always leave me wanting more. My routine: Go pick another random Hannah video from the past and then get busy as inspired by you. I love that you love your sweet mousey and I cannot wait to see if your moss experiment comes to fruition. Thanks for uploading sweet girl! xo
hannah, i already commented on this vid like 3 times but i cant express how much peace your videos bring me. it is truly like an escape from reality for me and i love how you thrive when you have a lot of things to do (or youre very good at making it seem like you do)
im similar in that sense i enjoy responsibility bc it brings me some extra purpose.
i hope youve been doing better and feel less stressed with filming 🤓
I’m also super adhd and I absolutely love this idea to just do follow my impulses !!! This is great! I’ve never thought about this and I’m a horrible procrastinator I leave my self to many projects I end up extremely overwhelmed with nothing done. This is definitely the best adhd challenge I’ve seen yet. Thanks Hanna !
The getting sidetracked like that is so me! Gotta love ADHD! 😀
Hannahhhhhh this just made my life! I recently found you and watched some of your videos and loved them so much and thought “I bet Hannah has adhd!”. I also have adhd and I live alone in the forest. I’m a new RUclips creator and told my friend I feel so inspired by your videos because they’re so authentic and not as super perfectly curated as a lot of creators I see (which isn’t relatable for me). So excited to follow along more 🥰
god the cabin looks AMAZING!!!!!
Coming along nicely isn't is?
Shes a very hard worker
i was just thinking about how the one thing to make my day perfect would be one of your videos, and i got to doing my chores while considering rewatching an old one... then as soon as i decide to take a break i see this, lucky me! thank you for the video
Hello Hannah. I was so happy to see your post today and wanted to say thank you for letting us into your home. You are ray of light and truly an inspiration as you’ve helped me slowly get back into the swing of things so to speak. My Daughter (my only child) passed away and it’s been very hard to be productive these days. The Christmas tree is still up ( I did take off the decorations though!). I thought about decorating it for the different holidays. It’s now bare and looks a massive plant in my living room. It actually looks pretty and I don’t have to worry about watering it so that’s a good thing. Then there’s the bag of potting soil that’s been sitting on the patio for a couple of months now waiting for me to repot my plants. After watching you plant the seeds and make your moss concoction I now feel motivated so I’ll repotting tomorrow. My plants will be so very happy for that.
I must say you’ve done a beautiful job with your cottages and property. I also really liked what you decorated your van. I bought a 19ft Motorhome a couple of years ago and have been wanting to do a DIY makeover on it. I got some great ideas from your decorating and DIYs. Hopefully my makeover will start sometime in the near future.
Your baby mouse is so adorable and looking very healthy....You’re a great Mouse Mom!!Now that I’ve written a book I’ll stop here and say thank you for the video....I’m looking forward to your next one.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend !! 🌞🌷
Hi, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for the loss of your Daughter. I can't imagine the pain. My heart is sad for you and you are in my thoughts. 💐💛🌷 It's very normal that you would feel unmotivated after such a loss. I am an only child and was brought up by my Mum. A few years ago I came close to losing my life (I'm in my 30s) so your story touched me. How are your pot plants doing now? What sort of plants do you grow? I was late getting my seedlings in this year - vegetables and flowers- for health reasons. My Mum helped me plant them and some were shooting up after only a few days! Sending love and prayers for healing and comfort from Above 🕊💗 Blessings from Australia 🦘 Kylie 😊
So happy your mouse baby is doing so well! Good job!
“I am an adult with a mouse child” was the best line omg
Your property was so beautiful & white during the Winter and now it's Spring and how lovely and green and lush it looks.
you're truly a great mouse mom!! :) glad you're doing good!! thanks for the video
I was just coming here to comment the same. I was involved with a small animal rescue for years and I was a mouse foster mom (among other titles). This has to be the best example of caring for a mouse I have seen on RUclips to date. ❤️
Despero is so cute 🥰 I’m so glad you were able to save her, you worked so hard for them all. She’s a lucky little girl ❤
Hello! Your friendly biologist here! Spreading the info because I used to do this too! We actually don’t have to rake out leaves! Especially so early in spring. The bees and bugs live in there and when we rake all that up it’s kind of like tearing down their homes! So make spring easier on yourself and don’t rake the leaves 🍃 🌟 btw I loved the moss ideas and I’m going to have to try it haha
Yes!! Thank you for sharing this important information!💓
a forest note..no need to rake a forest unless you are going to develop the area.. the duff is what protects the area for habitat and feeds the soil and keeps it moist... Soil in nature is never bare... about the moss .. the buttermilk idea works best on brick or stone in a shaded moist area.. that is what it likes .. to get on soil it needs to be pretty moist location and can transplant or buy spores...
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
It's sending me how many people are calling her Desperado or Despero instead of Despereaux. Highly reccomend everyone read the book by Kate DiCamillo, it still holds up now even as an adult!
Does anyone else get super-involved with Hannah's videos -- like screaming "No!" when you think something's about to go horribly wrong? Or "Yessss!!" when she finishes something that's a real PITA? I'm like a dude watching football
Hi hanha I live in a mobile home lodge I have one of these little washer you just add a bucket of hot warter to your wash everything thing comes out clean and bright love your videos blessing and happiness to you from Scotland 🏴 😊🌈🌻🌈🌻🙏
Your home is beautiful in the spring with all the 🌸 Desparo is so adorable I am so happy you have her to keep you company in the woods. My son has ADHD and never took the medicine, it’s a struggle either way. I have missed you and Matt can’t wait for the next video
Honestly I'd love to hear more about your ADHD in a video, like a quick chat about it. I was recently diagnosed with it and am 25 this year. So it's been quite late in life for me too. It has explains so so much about what's happened in my life. On a separate note, I've always thought we would get on irl (lol I know I sound like a total loser), but I have this theory about adhd people liking other adhd people. I think cos our minds work at a quicker, jumpier pace and we care less about social rules and what others think, you just get this affinity. But yeah. Would love to hear more about it one time.
I only found out this year too! (im 28) I'm honestly just continuing living life like I always have, but it's nice to understand why i do somethings the way i do, and also have access to some "focus" meds- i only use them when i need to really sit down and crank shit out for a couple hours, and not on the regular cause i genuinely like the way my brain works and it's served me well thus far 😊
I was just thinking back on what this place was like when you first got it. I love how you've made it YOUR place. Transformed. Still transforming and wonderful. Plus now you have an adorable baby mouse. so cute.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Hannah, you are NEVER lazy. You always seem to be doing something. I'm 73 and so enjoy your videos. sort of living vicariously through you! LOL You are such a sweet girl and I hate to see you down. You change as many times as you want! Please take care and say hi to Matt. He's such a cutie! Hugs from Canada!!
Having a persistent impulse to get work done is a great thing, but don't forget that your enjoyment of life is the purpose. Schedule time for completion of things that make you happy, then relax!
I try telling that to my husband.😟 His go, go, go all the time wears me out since I'm more laid back.
also 13:29 JOHN BUTLER TRIO??!!! Hannah ur taste in music *chefs kiss*
I never thought I would watch someone make a moss-smoothie in the woods
Hi, what.s the purpose of that smoothie ?
Great video! The cute little purple flowers in your intro with the daffodils are invasive and can rapidly take over thee. Woods
It’s called vinca vine, or periwinkle, it’s super easy to remove but spreads so easily and chokes out native plants
I so love your videos. I've lived in my forest for 25 years and enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately, 2 years ago nursing caught up with me and I'm virtually unable to walk. Now, I enjoy my forest from windows and live, vicariously, through you. Thank you for being a younger version of me. You're so special 💗.
I’m in a similar situation and I like your attitude. It sounds like you’re pretty special too.
I will pray for you in JESUS'S NAME AMEN.
I use a walker, I am slowing down. 68. Love, hugs and PRAYING. I live in S,E, MICHIGAN 👍🀄🌻🌹🤟. BLESSED MEMORIAL WEEKEND. CHOW 🌻🇺🇸🤟🤟🤟 love the smells of forest and fire 🔥 wood. Just gives me more breathing problems.
I stay away. Love the miss idea. Hopefully it'll
Work.
I always wondered about putting moss in a blender, but I figured if I just waited long enough you'd get around to it sooner or later. Thanks!
Hanna
I marathon-ed all your videos these past two weeks,
Your place is so nice and serene Hannah. Daffodils and violets add a nice touch to your backgrounds.
"it's me doing weird shit in the woods again" killed me 😂👌
Just came across your channel......OMG
Love your vibe, humor, determination, and zest for life. " If you want it done, then get it done" is a perfect motto. Thanks for the inspirations.
😇
My son has just been diagnosed with adhd. If he ends up doing half the things you have done I’ll be so proud of him.
My days are like that every day. I make to-do lists and by the end of the day I've done a lot of things and have nothing crossed off of my list! I've learned to live with it. Stuff gets done but in a round-about way. Love your style.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
The rain pattering on your roof just sounds so relaxing. This doesn't bode well for finishing my essay. 😅
yes! I love when it rains (I live under the roof). Unfortunately, I have a busy road right in front my apartment, so I can't really enjoy it that much. But hearing it in Hannah's video made me very happy
I was so happy she didn’t upload the weekend I wrote my thesis 🤣 I nap long and hard after these videos.
You are never afraid to try or do anything! Very Excellent quality. Not everyone can go there. Very gutsy.
Somehow, I dont think that mouse is ever going to get a ride in the car and dumped in the woods like all the others.
Despero is the sweetest little girl, just loves a cuddle with her mama! So nice to see you allowing yourself to do whatever spring projects come to mind, it's a nice and carefree way to be especially when you worked so hard on so many big projects up til now!
It’s definitely a pet mouse. Congratulations moma 🙌 so glad she survived!!
You are such a kind gentle soul. God bless you.
Hi Hannah! The morning cuddle with little one was so sweet! I’m not sure if you answered somewhere in another video, but were you able to test the mice for any viruses? I hope you’re safe! ❤️
Oh I'm so glad you are keeping her. she is so sweet.
I really wish you would post more often, it always makes my day :)
That Matt is so dang HELPFUL!!
Fun fact! You don't need to get rid of the leaves (unless you really want to). The leaves will naturally decompose to make dirt and provide habitat for creatures, bugs and little plants.
My favorite video of yours of all time! Don't know why; can't explain it; maybe because you were smiling so much throughout this video because Desperó gives you so much joy. It made you glow. And yeah, why not follow your instincts and be spontaneous and go with the flow of the day?!? No rules!
You can’t release a domesticated mouse. You are a Mouse Mom for life 😀
Also poor Matt I’m sure he does his bit as Hannah said he didn’t sign up to become a RUclipsr also.
Great vid as always x
HI Hannah! Thank you Thank you. Thank you. Watching your videos makes me feel like no matter what happens, everything IS OK! I also love watching you take care of your mouse, Despero. She is so lucky!
My great grandma raised a lost baby bird in her bra and there are many stories shared amongst family members how from time to time that bird stuck his head out of her bosom 🤗☺️🐦❤️
Build a compost pile , then when you are raking random parts of the forest you can claim it is to refill the compost bin. Mine is about 12 foot across, mostly roundish in shape, made of post and box wire. I fill it to over flowing each fall (about 5 foot deep), and it all rots before the next fall.
The leaves make free fertilizer for the trees. Always good to keep some leaves at the base of the trees for this.
Its none of anyone business what Matt does.
I ACTAULLY love this girl omg she needs to post everyday for my satisfaction
Ahh, I knew you had ADHD! Ever since I watched my first video of yours (and hyperfixated on your channel, oops) I just felt so certain you were a fellow ADHDer. I love how you embrace how your brain works and live a lifestyle that suits it. It’s definitely comforting and inspiring.
Beautiful video! Every shot was so gorgeous. So happy to see little mousy is doing well. 💓
Why do I want a mouse…. I literally own a snake 😭😭😭😭
😂
Keep her! Despereaux will be loved and cared for and safe from snakes🥰
Hun excuse me but you’ve been thee cottagecore aesthetic before it became a trend lol 💁♀️🔥👑
😂😂😂♥️
15:52 but your viewers respond, “Hannah always manages to figure it out and get it done!” You worked so hard on the driveway, I cannot wait to see the beautiful results! Of course Despero loves you! You are a great Mom. She is yours for life now.😊
And no one is going to mention how Hanna rocks that bathing suit and her little dance at the end. Pure marketing genius..
Don’t worry the moss smoothie was much weirder than having a mouse in your bra… 🤣😂🤣 Just kidding I LOVE your videos ❤️
Try growing sunflowers, they grow so fast and it is so satisfying when the bloom!!
Hi Hannah. I just graduated college and bought a van. I’m about to start van life. Do you have any tips and how do you deal with the people doubting you or judging you for the choosing van life?
Hey Aaron! You’ll find that people who are not into that lifestyle will judge you based on your choices but the truth is that you only need to focus on finding the people that do have the same interest as you, which in this case are other van lifers!
March to the best of your own drum. You’ll be happier, you’ll never please everyone. No use trying. You just do YOU! Have fun and stay safe.
Hannah I love your little baby girl. She is so cute, the way you tucked her in to keep cosy . You are an amazing human by keeping her well.
Wait... Siri responded with "huh?" LOL
Loving the mouse content, you’re such an amazing person for caring 🤍
Hannah you have never stopped doing and moving forward. Take a look around yourself. You did it all yourself. You deserve a lot of credit. Necessity is the mother of invention and you prove this all the time. 💝 watching your videos. Love the little🐭 too💝
The shot setup during the ad was absolutely beautiful and so so serene!
Maybe the jeans were part of a scarecrow?
I love watching hannah pour brown smoothie on her drive way
