I'm a terrible napper! I do miss cuddling him every time he napped while I was on maternity leave :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713853 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:23:02 +0000 pinkcupcake 713853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chores and meal prep. Baby girl gets cranky if she wakes up and her next meal isn't ready :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713852 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:22:25 +0000 jetsettermomma 713852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he used to take 2-3 hours naps (as a newborn), I got to work (WAHM), cook, clean, and some projects that I wanted to get done around the house. Nowadays (he is 6 months), he only takes 35 minute naps so I am much more efficient. I take a shower, have breakfast, emails &amp; phone calls during his first nap and work during his subsequent naps. Not much time to do anything else anymore! Some cleaning throughout the day, and laundry. Cooking gets done on the weekends :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713848 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:19:27 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 713848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week I worked in the garden a lot! I was proud of myself for not spending the whole time doing basic chores or internetting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713839 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 23:56:37 +0000 sarac 713839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not do chores. My daughter often goes to bed so late that I just have to go to bed right after her, so her naptime is often my only break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713823 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 23:16:18 +0000 twoofeverything 713823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Yup.

More the first three than anything else. </p> <p>ETA: hb &amp; blogs &amp; iPhone games go without saying ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-naps#post-713753 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 21:47:14 +0000 StbHisMrs 713753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Housework and if I'm really on the ball I prep stuff for Ebay.
