Once a week I send my children to a writing class for 2 hours. I use that time to take a walk and shop ALL BY MYSELF!
We have a YMCA membership and they offer free childcare to members. I drop my kids off and (depending on the day) go workout, take a yoga class, walk the track or dance my cares away at zumba. After I am done I grab my kids and head to the pool feeling rejuvenated
There has always been bedtimes in our home. My kids have had a 8:30p.m. bedtime. Not sure how I could handle my schedule if I didn’t have this time in the evening for unwinding and relaxing. Since I’ve started homeschooling, it was hard to find time for myself. We all have our favorite hobbies and all need to time to just set and meditate for a period. This after bedtime is my time. I love working on stained glass. I have a workshop and I work this in my home. It’s such an art and I can put my favorite music on, relax and see God working through my fingers into my glass. This is most favorite time to wind down and be thankful for all I have in my family and home.
Being a real night owl, has its benefits for me. I fit me-time into the early hours of the morning, when hubby & my boys are sleeping. I usually grab my laptop & do digi-scrapping to relax.
Our older two children go to Awana on Wednesday nights. I leave my toddler at home with my husband, drop the older two off at Awana and sit at Starbucks… all by myself
I have recently began going and receiving a deluxe spa pedicure every two weeks…all.by.myself! It is wonderful!
I read in a quiet house for an hour each day. I’ve started going to a late morning movie, so no trips to the bathroom with kids, or fighting over popcorn. I meet a friend for breakfast or lunch twice a month too.
I’m part of a handbell choir, and I go to a 2 hour practice once a week, plus a few concerts every couple of months. It’s my one thing I do without the kids.
I am usually up at 430am every morning. I use the quiet morning to work on my hobby of beading or just sit read a book with my tea. I live in the country so not much else I can do without driving 25 minutes. This is a cheap and easy way to have me time.
Every Wednesday my friend calls and we have a great conversation and pray together on the phone. My little one is sleeping and I let my two older ones listen to there favorite audio drama. It is so recharging.

I try to fit in reading breaks throughout the day – sometimes it’s only 20 minutes while my daughter watches a show on tv, but I do it every chance I get!
I love to do counted cross-stitch. I can do it with the kids or without the kids but when I’m working on a bible verse (and no one is around) it is definitely my time with the Lord…then I can talk to Him out loud if I want to while I’m praying or sing along with a worship song I might have in.
I try to find some “mommy time” every day to read a book or watch some tv.
My mommy time is watching tv or reading a book behind the closed bathroom door.
I usually get up early and enjoy my quiet time while everyone else is sleeping. I am most productive early in the morning!
I put my little one to bed at 8 p.m. and then have 2 hours for myself everyday!
I work full time, so it’s REALLY hard to find time but I- go to the gym during lunch a couple times a week and play my iPOD REALLY loud and try to have fun with it, every once in a while I call out of work sick and go for a bike ride or a quick hike nearby but get back in time to pick up the kids for school. I also meet my girlfriends once a month for a glass of wine and some laughs. I’ve really been working on finding more time for myself, it helps me to be a happier person and thus a happier mom!!
My honey takes the kids at least two days a week for “daddy time”. This gives me a much needed rest!! I spend my time scrapbooking, taking a walk, reading a book or just taking a long hot bath!! Amazing how just a little time to yourself makes you feel like a whole new person.
While I respect (and admire) SAHM, I’ve chosen to also work out of the home. I find that for me–this is a good fit!
I have some chronic health conditions and have finally realized that I need to take care of myself as well as my family. I’ve joined a medically supervised exercise program, so three mornings a week, after I put my younger child on the bus, I leave before my 7th grader goes to school and I go to the gym. I work over full-time (through three part-time jobs) so it’s not easy to fit it in, but I know it’s something I have to do for myself because my health depends on it and I can’t be a good mom if I’m not healthy.
Nap time it my time. I refuse to do housework but read or take a long bath.
Every Friday night, my closest friend has an artist come to her house to instruct an art class for our children. While they are in the studio, we have tea and knit. This is such a special time for us to connect and bond as moms and have a creative outlet. I homeschool my 8 year old son, and am pregnant with our 2nd child, so I really appreciate the time with my friend to regroup.Having strong female relationships is so important to keep each other going
You guys have some great ideas. I really struggle with finding time for myself. I try to get up a bit earlier than the kids and enjoy the peace with a book and coffee. Occasionally I will stay up late for some quiet peaceful time.
I enjoy my “mom moments” by blogging.
I also find other “mom moments” by enjoying my first cup of coffee (and sometimes my second) before the kids get up.
I also love my “mom moments” when I’m snuggling with the kids during our weekly movie nights.
I enjoy snuggling with my daughter as I wake her up each morning! That is a true “Mom Moments”!
