At 18 months I'm finding some time for some things. You're smart to not commit in advance - you may have a lot of time and energy, or you may not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653950 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:07:30 +0000 autumnlove 653950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I haven't crafted in ages... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653920 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:00:39 +0000 mediagirl 653920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much. I have crafted once since having the baby and haven't read much. I have just recently gotten back into my scrap room and will be doing a little bit in the coming weeks to make a gift for a friend. I really want to get started on her first year scrapbook, though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653913 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:58:05 +0000 littlebittyhouse 653913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still knit but not as much. mostly because I usually did it at night and now it is prep for the next day + manage LO wake ups. Its ok though, babyhood is fleeting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653890 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:49:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 653890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have kept up with my hobbies, but I have to manage my time more closely and there is less time. My husband and I really make an effort to give each other dedicated free time each week so that we both have time to focus on our hobbies; or just have some down time to ourselves to read, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653888 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:48:30 +0000 MaisyMay 653888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read so much less now! And I watch so much more tv. It's a bad combo, but it is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653875 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:45:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 653875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did after charlie -- i loved blogging and photography. but post two kids it's just impossible for me to keep up with any hobbies. maybe when they are a little older i can pick it up again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653858 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:38:27 +0000 heffalump 653858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hobbies were art/crafting and going to the theater. At first I stopped everything completely. I just didn't have time. Any free time was spent sleeping or showering. </p> <p>Now that lo is older I do art and craft during her naps and when she goes to bed. I don't go to the theater nearly as much, I used to go like every weekend and now it's just not a priority. I don't like leaving lo, so I have to love love love the show if I'm willing to leave her to see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-up-with-your-hobbies-post-baby#post-653837 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:30:20 +0000 Boheme 653837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night DH was talking about signing up for softball this spring and basketball next year, and I told him to go ahead but I declined. I just don't know what life will look like post-baby and I feel like we're busy as is! His sports are minimal - 1 time a week, no practices really - so I didn't mind at all but I didn't want to commit and not show up.</p> <p>So tell me... Did you keep up with your hobbies post-baby? Did you pick up any new ones? Drop any old ones? </p>
