Just ME! The first is reading books that take my mind completely off my life. Often these are books that I might be embarrassed to tell others I am reading (i.e. trashy novels!) but they are the best. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to read a book that you hate just because everyone else is reading it or it is cerebral. Somehow knowing that when I get in bed at night I can't wait for the no brainer novel that is waiting for me! My second hobby that I have taken up as of light is dance classes at the gym. I can squeeze this into my week atleast once a week and I feel like I am 20 all over again! Super fun and no judgement attached.

It is a great way to relax at the end of the day and I can make gifts for the people I love. An added bonus is that my daughter plays with the bots of loose yearn left over and thinks she is "helping" mommy with projects so I don't always have to wait for a nap or bedtime to do it.

In the evenings, after my son has gone to bed, I like to just flip through quilting books and magazines for inspiration and relaxation.

I take as many cooking classes as I can at the Williams-Sonoma on 59th St. The classes are at night and generally start well after my daughter has eaten her dinner and is getting ready for bed, so it's not the toughest sell for my husband to take over the bedtime process so that I can have some "me" time. And of course, the entire family benefits from what I learn when I make the recipes at home!

Having children is great but expensive. I have a 19 month old daughter and a 3 year old son. I alao know with everyone having kids or they are pregnant they have no time to go out to work and not everyone is financially stable well ladies I have a solution.

As far as hobbies, I love designing and have recently been making custom printed books out of photos, starting with the baby shots of course. But I have a long list of other books I want to make, from vacation, events and honeymoon. We are also in the process of buying a home, so I can't wait to decorate it. I used to play a lot of tennis and I miss it now. Maybe I'll start it up again this Spring if I can find people to play with. I enjoy taking yoga classes for exercise and relaxation.

At the moment, I'm in a homey phase, repairing and restoring all the things that need fixing and have since the pregnancy. As for when, naptime is pretty much go time. As soon as she's down, the table is covered in scraps of whatever I'm working on... I try to change hobbies every so often.

Plus when the little one is older, she will enjoy helping.
