I know it's hard as a sahm to find time for yourself. Some nights I'm lucky I even get to shower in peace. But I also try to remember if I don't take care of myself first, the kids suffer. You can't pour from an empty cup and all that jazz. So when you do finally get the time, or make the time, what do you like to do? Need some ideas lol 💕

When they go to bed. I sew. Sometimes its for then, sometimes the house, sometimes myself. The creating part is whats for me honestly

On Sundays my husband will watch our son and I game with my long distance friends online for a couple hours. And every other month I try to get a pedicure. I used to get acrylics too but stopped that because financially it's something I can cut back on and having little ones it's easier with my normal short nails haha.

I'm trying not to doom scroll. I want to get back into songwriting. I know I love it, but the hardest part is getting started (and that's the case with anything). I have also dabbled in painting a little bit. More like painting quotes and things like that, though, cause I don't draw super well.
Otherwise, once in a blue moon, I'll paint my nails or try to schedule something with a friend for after the kids are in bed.

I go out for Karaoke after all the kids go to bed and the husband is asleep.

Crochet and reading during nap/bedtime!

At home I do my hair/nails/cluster lashes, garden sometimes read, and I go salsa dancing every Friday not only is that my social life it keeps me fit PP and will continue to the longer I go. Hubby is home w baby when I go- he has no desire to learn how to dance lol so I go alone

I edit photos/make things in photoshop and play video games when I can 🥰

Play video games, diamond paint or clean the house when the kids are at school or bed
