Your a phenomenal mom. Your so intentional about maximizing you and your daughter's lifestyles. The healthy diet, low screen time, being outside, it's all just great!

[@TresChicMama]

I’m so excited to go back to simpler times ❤️🙏 Hopefully I don’t regret it lol

[@E-Nicex2]

Thanks for your content. As a single Dad with a daughter, I appreciate your ideas.

[@wildflower4380]

I’m also planning on buying a dvd player from Amazon and borrowing a movie from the library for once a week to do a movie night ❤

[@danielleb724]

Awesome job! She’s going to look back at her childhood and I doubt she will say “gee mom, I really wish I watched more tv!”. She is going to make so many great memories.

[@TresChicMama]

Haha I love that! You are so right! I hope she makes amazing memories this summer 🥰🏖️

[@danamulligan892]

I love how you are doing this. So so important. I love how in general you treat her as her age and not older. My daughter is the same age and so many people especially on KZbin treat their 7 year olds like they are so much older so it’s hard to relate. You’re doing an amazing job😊

[@TresChicMama]

Ooof even amongst her peers I see lots of levels of maturity & interests! Let’s hope she doesn’t grow up any faster than she needs to 😭

[@longashl]

100%. I cut back about a year ago, my daughter only gets 1 hour per day. She’s actually fine without and really doesn’t ask about TV, unless my mom is here and mentions a show

[@RobinOree]

Your are such an awesome mom! I applaud you for what you are doing. Keep up the beautiful work you are doing in raising your daughter.

[@TresChicMama]

Thank you so much! 🫶❤️❤️❤️

[@SavannahHoskins]

Oh my goodness. I am SO inspired! Thank you!

[@gwenhaklin6037]

More videos like this please! It's like cozy hangout with a coffee chit chat vibe but useful and inspiring too. Definitely going to borrow these ideas !

[@TresChicMama]

Will do!! I love filming this style of video 🥰🩷

[@mv-ip5ov]

Great video, Hayley! You're so inspiring🥰 I totally agree with limiting screen time and am trying to do that for my six year old. That way she spends more time playing outdoors which is great. I love the activity bin idea too. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!!♥

[@FujiNicole88]

Love these ideas! I have been letting my 5 yr old son have waay too much screentime, so these ideas have really helped me to cut that back without him having a complete meltdown. One thing about painting the rocks for your neighbors garden, make sure Sydney does not use washable paints lol. This probably seems like a no brainer to most people, but my son painted some really nice looking rocks for our garden and I did not think about the paint washing off when I water my plants or in the rain.

[@amym4991]

Such good ideas! I need to implement some of this for myself 😂

[@Bookworm_Bex]

Girl!! I have been trying to do the same thing with the screen time! I loved this video. As a single stay at home mom, I understand completely 😊 balancing that time can be tricky! We love our library as well❤ they always have activities for the kids!

[@hailee632]

Great advice!!! Will try to implement lesser screen time for my daughter and be present in a moment. More art works and play outside! ❤

[@nancyramirez-almanza]

Even though Sydney is 1 year younger than my daughter I still get good ideas from your videos!! THANK YOU🎉😄

[@TresChicMama]

I’m so so glad 😄

[@saraibr411]

I feel what you just said in this video is what's playing in my head.. this is definitely useful ideas... less screen and more mindful activities❤

[@i5263sweets]

Hayley I think this a wonderful way to send the summer…. They grow up so fast, you can let help you make summertime brownie Friday….?

[@abby12345_]

I crave simpler times! we live in the country and enjoy being outdoors, picking wild black berries, Riding dirtbikes, fourwheelers, opening our windows, going to Church, parks, etc. We do choose to have screen time but i am definitely 💯 percent for a simpler life. I love the slow living! We live about 30 minutes from the nearest walmart, if that gives you an idea. on the other hand dollar generals are everywhere 🤣🤣

[@TresChicMama]

Me too! I just love going back to the simpler days & being more present 🩷

[@meravech]

Great ideas for the summer , loved it❤ thank you😊❤ always inspiring !!

[@jenell6463]

You are an amazing mom! Thank you for wonderful ideas.

[@TresChicMama]

Thank you so much!

[@katherinedunker4628]

Love this! Always so happy when your vlogs drop!

[@TresChicMama]

Yay! Thank you! 🫶🫶

[@queenanhle1258]

Agree with your screen time and tablet mindset

[@ruebennomura9143]

Wow you made a lifestyle change on this video

[@elsarodriguez2140]

This is a great video always looking forward for more recommendations to keep my daughter ❤❤❤

[@TresChicMama]

❤️❤️❤️

[@christenford3864]

Great ideas as always Hayley! I feel like libraries are starting to get so much more love these days. Our library system put on a demonstration with small reptiles. Kids got to pet them and learn about conservation efforts. 3 free times for the shows and tickets were gone in 5 minutes 😅 libraries rule!

[@TresChicMama]

Ahh Sydney would have absolutely loved that! I think libraries offer so many amazing activities for kids so I’m glad they are getting more recognition now 🙌

[@KS-JBM]

Absolutely love this video!!

[@TresChicMama]

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@laffycathy1]

Thanks so much for these ideas!!

[@TresChicMama]

You are so welcome!

[@seasonalliving2881]

can you do an update video on this? My daughter is 12 and because I work so much we really struggle with this during the summer!

[@juno2013]

Growing up, my siblings and I were not allowed tv during the week. We were allowed some on Saturday mornings (cartoons). We played outside most of the time.

[@TresChicMama]

Days we can’t be outside are my least favorite haha

[@Sk8tergirlmo325]

Good job mom. At that age they will lose all the school work lol. I work at home and my daughter will be going to summer camp,so no need for the tablet. Keep up the good work; as always love your channel. Till next time!

[@TresChicMama]

Thank goodness for summer camp offerings!! They will have a blast 🏖️

[@hayleyheindel3465]

Yes! My kids get sooooo cranky the more screen time they have. It’s like they can’t regulate and function. I try to limit it to basically if I need to squeeze in a shower or something. Besides movie nights and need to situations I try hard! I will say, I find myself slipping in and out of sticking to it and then leaning to hard back into it until I’m fed up again 😂

[@TresChicMama]

I am just like you!!! It’s been “hard” to limit that’s why I’m just canceling it altogether 😆 I want to go back to simpler times like when she was a toddler & didn’t watch tv. Although I know there will be hard days when I want a moment 😭😬 I’m hopeful

[@samanthakwait8782]

My 5 and 2 year olds have never had tablets. I know they’d become addicted and it would be a constant fight.

[@TresChicMama]

Good idea!!! We use ours for travel & that’s about it these days

[@lisahamilton1568]

Great video!! ❤

[@ChrisMatik]

Great job having a video presentation on quiet time for older kids! Would cuddling a dog or a cat count as quiet time as long as neither bark or meow?

[@TresChicMama]

Hahaha a Dream 🤗

[@humbledaughter2219]

Will Sydney be in summer camp full time this summer? Great ideas thanks!

[@TresChicMama]

Not full time! Most are going to be half days & she will have some weeks without camps ☺️

[@mirroronthewall6995]

Does that also mean you won’t be watching any tv or anything like that either? I feel like that’s where I struggle if I do limited screen time for my toddler then I limit my own or cut back because I’m like well if she sees me seeing something it’s kind of like pointless for me anyways. And then she’ll ask me to watch it since I’m watching it which is why I limit it or wait until she’s sleeping. But let’s be real I’m so tired I end up sleeping immediately after lol

[@TresChicMama]

Yes! I actually rarely watch anything these days besides on KZbin or a quick show at bed but I fall asleep after 10 minutes anyway 😅 I never watch tv during the day so nothing changes for me in that regard. I want to be more present & bond like we did when she was younger 🥰 I’ll be up late getting work done so I have more time throughout the day.
