I crochet and do my nails. I don’t have the hours to do designs straight on myself so I do them on foil and use them like stickers. And I’mcrocheting a baby mobile for when she goes from bassinet to crib

Binge shopping online

Lego sets, audiobooks and watercolours :)

I used to diamond paint and have some lego sets overdue to assemble. My family moved houses recently so didn't have time to touch any of these. But at least I'm trying to read or listen to audiobooks :)

Crochet, reading, writing, oil painting, journalling- i have too many hobbies😄 Crochet is especially fun for making baby bits, i’ve made 5 bonnets in the past month lol

I've managed to get back to the gym the last few weeks - I go at 6am before baby wakes up usually around 7.30 but partner is there if she does wake up. Love crochet and reading but we've been in contact nap phase the 6/7 weeks so it's rare I have two ha as free at the same time! Desperately trying to finish a Christmas blanket.

I started a scrapbook for baby, very good to release creativity and I just put a show on in the background. I also video game when baby goes to bed. I also have a letterboxd account and like watching movies so I can review them and add them to my account

I read and play Playstation ☺️ bit of escapism when my boy goes to bed

Reading, embroidery, cross stitch, book journaling, sewing clothes and bags, crochet, sketching and watercolour, jewellery making, plus I run a book club where we host bookish crafty events which is really good for meeting people x

Sewing machine/serger projects, crocheting/knitting, writing, reading library books, painting, dry clay making, diamond painting, church going, joining worship team, in a life of Christ seminary class with homeworks and tests. I am trying to add swimming but it’s prolly going to be only 1-3X a month max. I can’t do everything in here every month but I do most of it. I enjoy cooking and shopping too. My kids are 5 and 8 so they aren’t attached to my hip.
Thanks for all the ideas! 🥰
Any advice on getting your partner to step up more with your child?

Hey!
I’m just wondering about sending my boys to a nursery. They’re 6 months old twin boys and I’m so uncertain on what to do. Like, do I even go back to work or do I stay home and just be skint or do I go back to work. If I do send them nursery what’s the process for this? What’s the monthly cost going to look like for both to be in nursery 4/5 days a week. My partner is a high school teacher but in a different area so sometimes the school holidays don’t sync up. I do have my mother in law who will have them every now and again, same with my mum. My mind is spinning hahaha

General vibes over the years - seems to exit out of what he was looking at on his phone when I come in the room, has the opportunity with “work dinners” and things, found a hair tie in his car one time. I know that sounds bad, but no one who knows him would think he’s capable of it, and I’ve always chalked it up to my own anxiety and insecurities.
Yesterday I found a necklace.
Discreet box, ordered to the house, last night he unboxed it, put the nice cloth bag in his backpack, and left for work with that this morning. (Yes I know this bc I was snooping) A quick google shows it was a Very expensive necklace.
Took everything I had not to ask about it, but I’m waiting until this evening to see if it’s still in his backpack or not. He could be hiding it and giving it to me at some point but idk.
Thoughts?

Hey mommas, i have a almost 13 months old and he is not eating ANYTHING, he only wants to breastfeed. He used to at least eat greek yogurt in the morning, and i would add oats and chia seeds, but he is not even wanting to eat that anymore. He used to also really like fruits, like watermelon, banana, mango and kiwi… well not anymore… i dont know what to do , im getting really stressed, he barely gains any weight 🫠🫠🫠
