I lock myself in my bedroom sometimes if I need half an hour to myself and I either spend the time mindlessly browsing the internet, reading, or watching netflix to recharge myself

Nothing really I dont have any friends to go out with for a coffee so I just stay home do housework and cook

I catch up with my friends. I don’t see them often, so I really enjoy it when we catch up.

Coffee with friends

I love baking, crochet, knitting and sewing but have little time these days. A couple of minutes in the sun, gardening, a phone call / coffee with a friend, a good book before bed and going alone to the grocery store in the weekend whilst my hub looks after the kids is my time out at the moment.

I love to crochet so if I had a chunk of time to myself that is what I would do. In saying that I have a 6 month old at the moment, so I’d be happy with an uninterrupted bath/shower and a nice cup of tea.

I do a few different things. I attend a work out class in the park once a week. I get a monthly massage and occasional pedicure.
I also try to have a kid free outing wether it be lunch, coffee, movie, tea, trivia nights etc at least once a month with my girlfriends. Date night out of the house with the husband will be a thing of the future (have 8 week old boob fed Bub) but we still manage date night at home. Once the kids are down we have a nice adult meal and then us time

I love photography so enjoy time out by walking to the local park and capturing some of Mother Natures beauty … sunrise/sunset, trees in full bloom, the resident magpie, dew on the grass – relaxing yet inspirational at the same time!

I love to go and have my eyes done wax and tinting and a look around the shops.

I do crosswords or read. I’ll also go and have coffee with my girlfriends, even if we all have our kids, they amuse themselves and we can chat.

I find I like to relax when I have me time. I don’t make plans, I just go with the flow and do whatever my mood dictates

Go to a movie with a friend. I also enjoy reading a great novel.

It can be going to my weekly aqua aerobic classes or if my husband cant get home in time I’ll head up to the local 24 hour gym. Or else if i need to “tap out” as such I’ll go to a movie. Sometimes by myself and sometimes with a friend

Gosh often time alone is so functional… I’ve recently tried to have some evenings out like catch up with a friend for dinner with NO KIDS! It was so lovey to have time to chat. Also went to see a movie at the cinema, that seemed like a really treat

Often it’s a frame of mind I’m in… I can have time out doing activities like swimming or jogging and not really ‘appreciate’ it… conversely I can be on a ‘family walk’ and manage to lag behind and switch off and get my time out in mini bursts as I need it!!

Like some of the other MoM answers to this question being on this site is time out!

During the cool weather I tend to go for walks to escape to a quiet spot.
I love curling up with a book. If I fall asleep while reading I get more peace because the family know better than to wake me. If I know the shops will be quiet I may indulge in some shopping without bored whinging kids.

Catch up with friends over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Go to bed early (I have an electrical adjustable bed) with a good book

I love reading or watching a movie

I don’t do this well so am very interested in the answers.
