HOW TO SELF CARE AS A MOM| Tres Chic Mama

[@MichaelaAnnaMarie]

Having a clean home makes me extremely happy!! There’s nothing like a nice, tidy and clean home💕

[@TresChicMama]

Michaela Anna-Marie Yess it feels so good!!! Currently decluttering & it is incredibly liberating haha

[@hermarie07]

Us with husbands also feel lonely and sad. I think is a feeling that everyone has once in a while specially during these difficult times. Hugs! You are a great mom and woman ❤️

[@TresChicMama]

Hermarie ABSOLUTELY!! 💗 It’s normal 🤗

[@WhattheFatisHappening]

I totally agree! Even us with husbands feel lonely!!!

[@linaalsaedi224]

Watching your videos feels like talking to a friend.. God bless both of you and the cute Cydney 💙

[@hillcountryhands6604]

Love how you talked about how self care doesn’t have to be about beauty routines. I never thought about it that way❤️

[@TaylorMadeMom]

My Mom always says brushing your hair everyday helps it grow quicker too ❤️

[@TanyaA82084]

A mixture of taking care of myself, exercising, and a clean and organized house makes me feel so happy!!! The messy house makes me the most anxious!!! Lol

[@Heather73090]

Self care is maintaining a tidy house, eating well with some delicious treats thrown in, waking up before my toddler in the mornings, and getting to bed at a decent time.

[@elizabethchurch9720]

"Happy Mothers Day. I need to talk to you!!" Yes Sydney!! Auntie loves talking to you.

[@amandabay8262]

I always look forward to your videos! You and Sydney are too awesome! Happy Mother’s Day! You definitely give me motivation for my 16 month old son. Thank you!!!

[@TresChicMama]

Amanda Bay ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you had a wonderful day!

[@lanired2702]

I was just thinking of uploading a self care video as my first post! And now I will. You reminded me that I have to care for myself in order to care for my children. Thank you.

[@TresChicMama]

Lani Red You absolutely do!!

[@hailee632]

Bought some plant starters and indoor plants for Mother’s Day. And did some cleaning inside the house made me feel relax this week. Your a great Mom Hailey! Hugs to Sydney. Take care. ❤️😍😊

[@ChristinaH333]

Love your videos so much, you motivate me so much! I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday and mothers day 💗

[@patitaiciarte]

Happy Mother’s Day 💕 self-care to me means waking up before my baby every morning and do my time alone with God (prayers and devotional). Take care :) and thanks for your videos

[@TresChicMama]

patricia iciarte That is my favorite thing!!! Quiet time before the little one wakes up, hot coffee & the news haha

[@TheXxallieox]

This Mother’s Day was extremely hard for me also. I had a miscarriage last month. Even though I have four living children who I love more then anything Mother’s Day was so difficult. I cried a lot and felt so empty cause the baby I was supposed to be carrying was no longer with us. You are so strong and doing an amazing job raising your beautiful daughter.

[@caseygriffin1555]

Happy belated Mother’s Day and happy belated birthday! You deserve the best, girl! You’re such a positive inspiration and a bright light for all of us mamas. I loveeee your videos. They keep me uplifted, for sure. You and little girl are the cutest mama daughter duo ever. ❤️

[@TresChicMama]

Casey Griffin Awww I’m so glad they uplift you!!! Thank you love 💕

[@angelbaby31091]

I used to work at Starbucks & was so proud while watching you make that caramel macchiato exactly how Starbucks does it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@kimlefferts6506]

I’m a few days late but wanted to wish my favorite vlogger Happy Mother’s Day! 💕 I just think the world of you & enjoy all your vlogs. Sydney is blessed to have you as her Mom. You are doing an amazing job. Take care & sending hugs to both of you.🥰

[@TresChicMama]

[@TresChicMama]

Jenny Basil It’s certainly a marathon & not a sprint haha 💗💗

[@krittikalahiri8142]

Happy Mother’s Day! Just wanted to let you know that I feel so let down and sad when I have to do everything alone...all household jobs, looking after the baby with my husband being super busy at work and not having any time for us. At those times I think of you..the way you do so much being a single mom...and then I muster up all the energy and get back to work and try not to feel bad. You are really an inspiration. More power to you💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻...and to all the moms out there❤️❤️ Sidney is so so sooo cute. 💕I so wish she and my daughter could play together ...my little one just turned two😃

[@TresChicMama]

krittika lahiri Aww But you are allowed to feel that way, it’s ok. I’m so so happy to know I can somehow lift you up though 😭❤️

[@nickischroeder6048]

Happy Belated Birthday and Mother's Day❤

[@katieadams310]

Shopping and time alone makes me happy! I want to cook like you but it’s so hard with a toddler. My daughter constantly grabs at my leg and wants me to play. How do you cook so much with Sydney?

[@Life_by_valentina]

Some more tips for your hair care: use a natural wooden brush for your hair. And you can put some coconut oil on your ends and sculp before you go to bed, so it can nourish your hair at night

[@brittylea12]

I am so glad that I follow you, I needed to see this today. Thank you.

[@TresChicMama]

Brittany Lea Awww thank you so much love 💗You’ve got this!

[@WhattheFatisHappening]

[@francerivera9558]

[@TanyaA82084]

[@TresChicMama]

Julia Cincotta Hahaha relatable though 😃

[@emillierobichaud4748]

My self care is a long hot shower,then cream my body, at night. Finally jumping in to a nice clean bed. My favourite thing ever. Love your videos, can’t wait for your next video. She is so sweet God love her little heart, your a good mom.

[@TresChicMama]

Emillie Robichaud OMG YESSS jumping into clean sheets after a nice shower is THE BEST lol 🙌🙌

[@philippapay4352]

That salad in the opener made me hungry. I find it helps me to make sure I hit all the marks in self-care over the course of a week. Daily is not possible. Over a month can be too long a wait. Does she understand that you know it wasn't an accident and that she cannot do it again and that it does waste food? She was funny trying to make excuses for herself. It is so hard not to laugh sometimes when you are trying to use the situation as a teaching moment. Oh hair. Oh woe is me. I have had thin, fine, poker straight hair all my life. As a kid my barrettes and bobby pins and ponytail bands would slide out of my hair. But the care I have to give it always makes me feel like Sisyphus because I do not come out of whatever I do looking like Julia Roberts with lush, wavy, dark hair. It remains thin, fine, limp, blonde, poker straight unless I put it in a bun or braid or chignon. It's pathetic. I had strawberry blonde hair as a kid that has darkened into a honey blonde. But my mother had flame red hair in her youth that darkened into auburn and it was thick and curly and coarse and she could do anything with it. We always want what we didn't get in terms of our looks, I fear. Food is one of my love languages probably because it is so important what we put into the bodies of our loved ones, especially developing children. HERE'S AN IDEA: when Sydney goes to school for first grade which is more like 8am-2pm daily, maybe you could do more recipes as a nutritionist/dietician (I forget which you trained for) and that could expand your channel because you'd have time to work on preparing foods on camera and not have interruptions. You could keep your weekends for family, friends, church, special events and maybe do a bit of Sydney here and there (depending on how she feels about being filmed at that age when she will be coming up on the age of reason @7-8yrs) and the other days of the week do recipes. And then your cooking would be done for dinner before Sydney even got home, so you could focus on her afternoon snack, catching up, homework and not have to do anything but heat supper. Don't know what you'll do about proteins if chicken, eggs, cheese et al are all you eat. But by then who knows if we will all be eating the artificial proteins and plant proteins due to the mess in our abattoirs and meat packing plants and food chain. Her being at school all day will give you time to experiment. What brand was that sugar-free French vanilla syrup? Is it your birthday? HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are a good example to others. We cannot offer ourselves to others if we are not whole within ourselves. We cannot expect others to complete us if we have not found ways to be the most we can possibly be with what God gave us. We cannot expect others to make us happy since happiness is something that is always fleeting and shared, perhaps amidst ongoing contentment. We must offer sharing our good life fully developed with spouses and children and cannot expect them to provide what we cannot manage. We are all a bit sad for what was lost. We are going through a grieving in understanding what will never be as it was again. You are showing people how to live into that with its moments of sadness and give full effort to the creativity to make life the very best it can be with what we've been dealt. We are still way better off than most people throughout history have been and we are not sacrificing anything compared to what people in WWII did. Your remaining honest and positive about it all is a help to others to live with these conflicting tensions in life. Perhaps by the time Sydney is in first grade we will live in a much better world that will be more secure for her future because of the lessons we have learned during the pandemic. Not all of the way things were had been good. You are right: self-care is like maintaining a healthy metabolism all day everyday. I take it that it did not occur to Sydney's father to do anything for your birthday or Mothers' Day even if on her behalf. He could have planned something with her to begin teaching her and left it outside.

[@TresChicMama]

Philippa Pay Oh she knew right from wrong & knew mommy wasn’t impressed. After I stopped blogging of course I had a chat & made her help clean up. She gets the words accident & on purpose mixed up haha ❤️ I definitely hope the world is a better place by the time she’s in grade school 🙏

[@philippapay4352]

@@TresChicMama I thought from her rambling explanation of what had happened that she absolutely must have known she was in the wrong. Kids don't realize what things they do that are the "tell" for their parents/elders.

[@lindsayslagle9523]

I’m really considering splurging on an nespresso machine.. I feel like I would save money in the long run!

[@TresChicMama]

Lindsay Slagle It is so good haha

[@eveseveska5473]

My husband never buys me nothing for mother's day. He said I'm not his mother 🤷‍♀️. So I buy my own mother's day gift.. mother day is every day

[@carissathompson7698]

Link for Sydney’s stool?

[@TresChicMama]

Carissa Thompson It’s in my Amazon store 😄

[@WhattheFatisHappening]

Arent there 5 love languages? And what is food under? Cause its like touch, acts of service, gifts, etc.. did you mean your love language is gifts?

[@TresChicMama]

What the Fat is Happening I guess I didn’t know the technical terms for live languages haha whoops. I just meant it’s how I show love & what makes me feel loved ☺️
