So many of E's naps and our evening time gets used up that way.

But the gym DH joined doesn't have childcare and his schedule isn't reliable so I'd never be able to go with any regularity. The gym DH is a part of is like 5 minutes from our house and I don't think he'd be willing to change and we can't afford two separate memberships.</p> <p>I'd also like to cook/bake more but I just done have the time. Or the desire to clean up after myself lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-could-do-but-know-you-dont-have-time-for#post-2111670 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:56:32 +0000 littlebug 2111670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise.

I made a few modern quilts back in college after being inspired by a textile arts class, and then my sewing machine broke and I never fixed it. I know I don't have the time or space to invest in reinvigorating that hobby, but someday I'd love to have a sewing room and a great fabric stash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-could-do-but-know-you-dont-have-time-for#post-2111583 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:08:41 +0000 Torchwood 2111583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to learn to work with polymer clay!

I miss having a night where I can go and knit. Part of it is that I had a falling out with my previous yarn store for a few reasons. I haven't found an alternative to it. Also, I want to be there for LO at bedtime because I work. So, it'll be awhile until I find something new like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-could-do-but-know-you-dont-have-time-for#post-2111509 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:41:42 +0000 pinkcupcake 2111509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Garden would be awesome. Every year I buy a few plants and dream of getting fresh produce from my backyard all summer, but I can never devote enough time to it. Maybe if we didn't have three dogs...</p> <p>I really wish I could sew, but every time I bring out my sewing machine, my LO goes nuts and wants to stick her fingers everywhere. She doesn't nap anymore and needs me next to her in bed to fall asleep, so I just don't have the alone time for it right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-wish-you-could-do-but-know-you-dont-have-time-for#post-2111506 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:39:49 +0000 twodoghouse 2111506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few of my friends are joining the Junior League, but it's a huge time commitment the first year. With two kids who need me to put them to sleep every night at 6:45, I just can't try to join right now. </p>
