After LO goes to bed during the week, I work out and DH and I eat dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-532183 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:21:23 +0000 sarac 532183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NOT housework. Her nap is the only real downtime I get, since I'm usually half asleep by the time she goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531769 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:13:33 +0000 mrskc 531769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my kid won't nap longer than 25-30 minutes, I usually use the time to eat and go to the bathroom and get online. Sometimes I'll do the dishes or do laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531718 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:57:02 +0000 hilsy85 531718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>go online, do chores around the house, shower, get dressed! i love long naps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531714 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:55:30 +0000 twinmama 531714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>priority 1 right now is running. then shower, chores, pumping and so on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531665 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:40:39 +0000 BelugaBean 531665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll eat a meal while she's napping, usually clean up, and sometimes just relax (catch up on TV that DH doesn't like or go online). If dinner needs to be prepped ahead of time, I'll do that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531664 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:39:29 +0000 littlecasita1122 531664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>morning nap - I sometimes work-out (should be better about this every day), take a shower, get ready and then usually do one or two chores. Afternoon nap - I catch up on blogs, Hellobee, and then log into work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531661 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:38:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 531661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the day. Today for the first nap I made granola, wrote a blog post and checked email/FB/IG/HB etc.</p> <p>For the next nap I'll probably fold some laundry, unload the dishwasher etc. </p> <p>I usually do: computer time/TV, housework, cooking/baking/prep, phone calls, bills, meal plan, etc. So much to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531654 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:37:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 531654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I love The West Wing...I've been watching it a lot on Netflix lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531621 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:25:03 +0000 Weagle 531621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I try to shower and clean or cook. LO skipped her morning nap, so I'm just going to watch The West Wing while she's napping this afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531585 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:10:26 +0000 bunnylove08 531585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean, take a shower, catch up on my tv shows.

I can never tell how long he's going to stay down! Usually I get an hour but sometimes I have to spend that hour cooking.</p> <p>During his afternoon nap, I try and do something around the house to help DH out but my energy levels have been lacking a lot lately. Guess that's what happens when you're dealing with a twelve month old and nearly 35 weeks pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-is-napping#post-531469 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:36:15 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 531469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: haha right?

Right now I'm catching up on the internet and having a second cup of coffee, but I've been using my sudden free time to catch up on housework or prep dinner. </p> <p>What do you do when your LO naps? </p>
