Hobby mamas

Ugh I struggle with this. Especially because I hate starting something and not being able to finish it or get far with it like books and crochet 😩. I sometimes do hobbies at nap time or I ask my husband to keep an eye on the kids in the evening for a little so I can have some uninterrupted time for myself! That's rare though because I always feel bad asking for time for myself 😅

Girl I need to know. I'm trying to get my life back together slowly but surely. I feel so darn boring is crazy. I have a 1 and 3 year old at home. My old therapist told me to take an hour to go sit down and work on some things for myself during the week. I sometimes sleep when they nap bcus I'm tired sometimes or something needs to be done in the house. At end of day I don't want to do anything but try and shower lol and watch TV with some snacks. I miss my freedom sometimes but I know as they get older it will get better

I like fitness classes better and also because 1 I wanted to make more friends and 2 I wanted to get in shape more toned more fit and 3 that freedom of me picking up me keys and saying “I’m going to my dance” and not come home till 2hrs later is bliss. Easier for me to keep up when I have classes on at set times set days like Tuesdays, and Fridays at 7 every week is my dance lessons and have been for years. From 4-18m I took up Pilates and Zumba, from 18m I was actually looking for a heels class but stumbled on free salsa/bachata so I’ve been doing that for 3yrs. At home I do skincare/cut dye my hair/cluster lashes/nails. Reading, I do while he’s napping he’s usually napping in the car otw home from wherever we went so as I wait for him to wake up I grab my book. But yeah my dance classes keep me sane as a sahm. I have 4m left of Level 3 salsa and then another 8m of level 3.5 (last level) from there, I’ll be starting kizomba classes when my Tuesdays are free again.

I eat dinner and sort the house out whilst babe is awake sometimes with her strapped to my back in the Carrier if she's clingy 😅 she's usually down by 7:30, then I can do teeth/face get in PJ's by 8 which gives me around 1.5hrs before I go to bed to do things for myself, when it's nice out we will lay in the grass and she can play with books/toys whilst I crochet or I'll sit with her inside where she plays and craft whilst she does her own thing granted it's very interrupted x
