Daily Routines Living In A Van As A Single Mom in the Forest 🍁🌲

[Music] drift wood of ice something like that good morning you guys it's been so such a lovely day today the sun is out um we woke up kind of cold but I can feel the warmth sleeping in I'm hoping my solar panels charge from this angle because my battery is like halfway over the night so there's a lot of shade here and a lot of trees so that's kind of not a good thing I kind of want the sunlight to be seeping in but we're going to see how the day goes and hope for the best for our Sola panels [Music] I am so happy to be at our campsite it took us hours to get here and now that we're here I am Overjoyed with how beautiful this place is we immediately got outside to play and started painting and drawing and I noticed this is really something that keeps King busy for quite some time I like to have slow days where we just kind of keep ourselves busy with drawing and painting and he really enjoys [Music] it [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] [Laughter] oh hello T SL I just want to take a quick second to discuss how I make weekdays easier as a single mom I feel like being a single mom my schedule is always so busy weekday mornings are normally really stressful trying to get everything ready while also like trying to manage everything that I have found to help busy mornings is just allowing myself to I already moved my van three times today and it's only 1:00 sun is just hitting in so many different like spots in our campsite so I'm trying to make sure my solop panels are charged we need one more Notch before it's fully charged and it's kind of stressing me out I'll be pretty honest here I get pretty tired I mean I make time to exercise and eat well and relax but I completely get that I have a very busy life even though I live in a van I'm just sitting here basking in the sunlight and being around nature and just just being very happy that we're [Music] here [Music] the [Music] work [Music] go eight times to be exact and I am kind of stressed two more days here at this Campground I did pay for this Campground which it's very nice it has showers it has the restrooms it has trash which is really good not have sunlight I need sunlight I have solar so that's been a big problem I'm having can't keep moving it's already going to be 5:00 p.m. I think what's going to happen is I'm just going to go back to my campsite I'm going to charge all of our devices while our batteries are okay and shut everything down for tonight I may not have to do that I may be being dramatic but that's the overall plan just finished up dinner and it's about that time to go back to our camp spot but this is Van life reality for you worrying about when next time you're going to have electricity and if you're going to have enough electricity so there's that I think I'm going to leave this place on Monday and we're going to head to another campsite um where it's more open and not so fory so it's looking like the desert being back in the van after traveling abroad getting used to like hotels and a bees and like you know the easy things it's kind of a lot to be honest so I huh I smell a campfire okay so cream and I have just wiped down in the van we have our sleeping clothes on we're currently eating our fruit for our snack before bed I'm going to recream a bedtime story and then we're going to crawl into bed and watch a movie possibly and call it a night it is 7:00 p.m. we usually are in by 6:30ish just because it gets really dark and there's no need to be out that late unless we're watching the sunset or we're around a fire or something so yeah so this is good night I'll see you guys in the morning here she's tasking at what is called the Lucas Tower good morning you guys G and I just woke up I got breakfast going and it feels really nice outside we're literally in our pajamas we're probably going to walk in a little bit and have a good day so how how was your morning [Music] sleep good let see the it's they everywhere huh yeah do the campire now W do it the campfire I do it I don't know if we can do a campire [Music] babe living in a van everything gets dirty pretty quickly which I've stressed a numerous amount of times on my channel and I think you guys get the picture but it's actually very therapeutic when I do clean I love having a clean space and a clean home especially living in such a small space it's very very important that I keep my area clean so that my thoughts aren't jumbled and Kareem isn't losing his mind as [Music] well and the shower was really nice it was hot it was only 3 minutes so I just put in a quarter each so we took a six minute shower it's very fast cre and I are thinking of getting our tent out as you can see the sun looks like it's out I have no sign for my silver panels can be my bud I'll be a more okay guys Kare and I just got done playing in The Meadows we played basketball we played tag and what else did we play we played soccer yeah we kept getting like those little Pokey
