SUMMER MORNING IN MY LIFE| Cleaning, Groceries & Summer Camp Chauffeuring| Tres Chic Mama

[@ashleysalazar2012]

Soft white sheets are one of the simple things in life that just make my day

[@cherylsmotivation]

Hi girl. Love your channel so much!! Whenever I feel down and depressed, channels like these help me so much. Ever just to remind me I am not alone in the world. As a new you tuber, I hope to make someone feel good or just motivated to get this done as I can by hard sometimes. Love you and Sydney so much!!!

Can you make a video about affording life and extras as a single mom in the current climate in your particular state? Here in Western Canada, for example, a summer camp with 5 overnights would run us $500 Canadian per child. A full-time day camp for 5 days might be in the 300 range. We can't afford summer camps unless I'm making an income in addition to my spouse's full time + overtime income, or a family member pays for it. Just curious about general tips and tricks or how these things work for you in the States. Have a good one :)

[@TresChicMama]

Ours seem to be a similar pricing. I pay for them mostly months in advance & over time if some allow. It’s insane how expensive these things can be 😭 Just trying to save for them every chance I get but it’s certainly a lot 😩

[@darbirhian]

@@TresChicMama I hear that! Our son wants an 800 dollar lego kit! He's only 6! I figure I'll have to save for 15mo to afford it as his only present in time for Christmas next year! Otherwise, hopefully I'll get a job outside of the home like I'm trying to do and then it would be easy to afford! haha

[@TresChicMama]

😱😱😱 I’d have to say passssss lol ooof I can’t imagine!

[@darbirhian]

@@TresChicMama Oh believe me, my spouse has already said "no more lego." I know I have to buy any new builds that come into the home on my own! LOL

[@nikkihandley1349]

@@darbirhianWe are a huge Lego family too. We have a huge Lego city! Hard to say NO to more Lego sets. Lol. I get it

[@chanlanee]

Those are my favorite sheets been using em for years. I had a new set in my Amazon cart then seen this video. Perfect timing.

[@TresChicMama]

Great timing!! Love them & how affordable they are 🎉

[@alyonadavies7480]

[@tumintjatje3386]

Im loving the summer vlogs❤

[@samanthakwait8782]

I love those sheets! I’ve bought multiple colors for my house and I’ve even bought them as gifts for others.

[@TresChicMama]

Yay!!! I love how affordable they are and the huge range of colors 🙌

[@ruebennomura9143]

Love this video of summer camp and chauffeuring

[@april7104]

I totally relate to all the snacks! I swear summer break every hour he wants a snack. Lol

[@TresChicMama]

Hahaha yup!!!!

[@elisagal2227]

You’re a wonderful momma! Yes to all the snacks!🌸

[@TresChicMama]

So. Many. Snacks 😅

[@woodleaf09]

You are doing great as a single mom! My husband and I are still thinking on having a child or not, and there would be two of us 😅😂 Sydney seems so happy and being able to create so many fun summer memories ❤️ Also, I have heard of reusable pouches for yogurt/applesauce, etc... It may come in handy when you buy the tub (although it's just one more thing to clean...)!

[@TresChicMama]

We have a pouch filler thing & I always forget about it 🙃 I need to break it out again! Having a child is not a decision to take lightly so I applaud you thinking on it ❤️ it’s a lot but once they are here it’s like nothing else matters & you just become super parent haha

[@saradedionisio]

That little splash pad is adorable!

[@Jani28]

Your bedding looks so cozy, love a good clean white. That brick oven pizza is delicious!

[@TresChicMama]

Thank you 😃

[@morganwilson81]

Quick little tip. You may already know this, but you can freeze loaf bread. My family goes through so much bread so I buy three or four loafs at a time and freeze the rest. You just pull one out lay it on the counter to thaw in the bag as is. Easy peasy! I love your videos girl! I watch your videos while im trying to get my kiddo to sleep. I sit with her and watch these while im waiting. ❤

[@TresChicMama]

Ok does it change the texture??!!! I’ve always been curious!

[@chrisoulalakkas7935]

When someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. It's that simple.

[@kamberdomermuth4952]

Nice little family. Nice little life.

[@lisaveenstra7098]

mint chocolate chip is my favorite and my 3 kids favorite as well:)

[@TresChicMama]

Yummm it’s at least somewhat refreshing as well 😋

[@A.J...]

Love this vlog !!! 👍

[@TresChicMama]

Thank you!!

[@mommyjaslynn]

❤ excited to have lunch and watch this video

[@philippapay4352]

Thank God you are one of those nice parents who wakes her child up gently. I hate the banging doors, hollering upstairs, throwing curtains & windows open. It's a violent way to start a day. Yeah, as long as you have summer weather and are going to the beach, get the rugs up. They just add to your housework to no real avail. I adore mint chocolate chip ice cream, too! I love gorgonzola on salads, especially in summertime with watermelon among the ingredients. I love cottage cheese all year and often eat it as my dressing for salads, so that I get protein & moisture coating without having to add calorific dressings. It's practical that Sydney has a variety of activities because she will get to decide what sorts of things she likes to do/learn.

[@TresChicMama]

I am the least morning person of all persons 😂 so I completely empathize with being woken up haha

[@DraganaG777]

Thank you for being upfront about the paid promotion. I hate it when it is snuck in there - I literally skip over it, but when I know it’s coming I don’t mind listening to it. I may even check out the sheets 🤓

[@TresChicMama]

Aww legally we are supposed to! So it will never be hidden on my part 😃

[@DraganaG777]

@@TresChicMama yes but sometimes it still feels ‘sneaked in’ - I appreciate when it is said prior to the pitch - such and such company is sponsoring this video.

[@kaylinknops7854]

Where did you get the water bottle for your daughter from? I love the size and style!

[@lynnbare2742]

Hi Hayley Sydney is growing up so fast! Love her summer camp adventures especially sailing class ! How cool is that . 😊

[@TresChicMama]

Very lucky to have these experiences living here!!

[@AddieV1984]

You live in a post card! I love it!!

[@TresChicMama]

We truly are blessed with a beautiful community ❤

[@SK43996]

Hey you guys! Just wanted to reach out and say I am LOVING your videos! I found your channel recently so I’m still trying to catch up!😂 You are such a good mom you are totally inspiring me-and I’m making that chocolate peanut butter dessert this weekend:) I just wanted to say hi and ask you-where can I find the music that you play with your videos?

[@TresChicMama]

Oh my gosh I need to make that soon haha 😋 I use Epidemic Sound for music 😃

[@SK43996]

Ok so we made it last night! Super yummy thanks for the idea 💜

[@kelsbells1006]

Could you please link on the instagram where those red-brown shorts are from, please? 😍

[@TresChicMama]

Unfortunately they are a couple years old but we’re from Abercrombie 😃

[@jennywelch252]

It's 2am and watched your quick vlog. Isn't Sydney growing up so fast- more a comment than a question I guess. She is such an outgoing little girl. You are such a great parent Hayley. I have huge admiration for you. You put Sydney first, which I believe parents should, but don't forget to have some downtime for you too. Even just sitting reading a book or magazine, or watching a DVD or a movie on TV. Maybe I should pick up a facial kit just for a bit of something for you to enjoy. But no housework! Just time for yourself. I have thought of something 😁 take care...

[@TresChicMama]

Aww Jenny you are so sweet. I need to plan something for me soon for sure! I hope you got some rest haha

[@victoriawilson3147]

I love your videos just wondering if you live in Massachusetts or New England

[@heidimargaret306]

She lives in Maine 😀

[@TresChicMama]

Yup! I live in Maine 😊

[@janaklimtova9356]

[@hollyshaw825]

You are a great mom yes, but how do you feel you are over extending yourself? Do you have a job besides youtube? Just wondering because I know a lot of single moms who work 40 to 60 hours a week and do all the things.

[@TresChicMama]

Her camps so far are not all day so I have been driving back & forth multiple times a day. Not complaining, grateful really. But just not able to get into a work/life balance. Moms, dads working outside the home, sah, single etc. we all do it all. It’s ok to admit you are tired lol I’m also introverted so these things suck the life out of me in a way that extroverts are the opposite

[@lisaerin85]

@@TresChicMamaI’m with you 💯. I too am a single mom to a 6 year old, almost 7, boy and it’s sooooooo unbelievable draining. It takes a village and we just don’t have that village that some people just cannot relate to unless they’re in our shoes. I stay at home with him and have been a single since his birth. I also homeschool him and I can tell you, as an extrovert, that we do get burnt out no matter how we refuel. It’s because kids depend on and drain you, and I find that I can actually give him so much more when I get a break. It’s the most demanding job out there. Running errands alone is a break because you get to collect yourself and get away from the noise. My son is the same to me as Sydney is to you, a complete blessing that I love so much my heart hurts, but we also need those breaks. So I feel you mama! We also have one child, I’ve been told by moms who have 2 or more how much easier it became after adding at least one more because our children are looking to us for so much more when they’re the only child. And you’re right, we really do have to do everything on our own, other wise it won’t get done, at least not until our kiddos get older and can handle more. We really do have to manage everything on our own that people who aren’t single parents just don’t get. Even if you had a job outside of the home 40-60 hours a week, which is crazy really, it’s still a weight and management task that’s really impossible to do that moms with spouses just don’t understand. Not trying to be mean to anyone on here who reads this, but I get your struggle. I know that if I had some help with household chores I would be able to rest and enjoy my sons age a lot more. We just don’t get this time back and it almost feels like as a single parent you’re being robbed of it. And yes! It’s ok to admit it!! 😊❤

[@lisaerin85]

Another thing is, I often think the American culture forgets that being a parent is indeed a job, your biggest one actually and it gets so overlooked that we think if people aren’t working a paying job, they’re not working. It’s the hardest, most demanding, completely underpaid, draining job we can ever have that I think our society needs to look at it as a job. It’s also the most rewarding and irreplaceable one can ever have. I think you’re doing great and I share much of the same struggles with you.
