I used to scrapbook and have not done it all since J was born. It takes a lot of time and space, I'm limited on both. Do you have a hobby or something you'd like to get back into doing?

I sew, or I used to. I haven't touched my sewing machine since LO was born, except to set it up downstairs in the basement for when I actually have the urge to get back into it.

My main 2 hobbies are genealogy and ballroom dancing. Unfortunately there is NO place in this stupid town to ballroom dance and the genealogy has taken a backseat to having 2 kids at this point.
I used to play indoor soccer once a week up until I was several weeks pg with DD... I miss it. And I really enjoy reading - I don't really get to read for fun anymore (at least books that are at my reading level and don't have big colorful pictures on every page )
No but this reminds me of a story. When we first started dating, my dh told me that he thought we were spending too much time together and that I should get a hobby like building card houses.
I used to read all of the time. I was never without a book and was obsessed with buying them. When I got pregnant all of a sudden I had no desire to read. It was so strange. It hasn't returned, either. I miss reading for pleasure but I don't really have the inclination to get back into it like I was.
DH and I fish. April 1st is the opening of trout fishing and March 31st at midnight we always go. We got with a bunch of our friends and have a fire, grill food and hang out. I really want to get into scrapbooking and back into reading though.
I did a lot of scrapbooking too, but haven't done much since DD was born. I did create pre-made pages for her first year though before she was born, but all I've done is stick the photos in the page protectors. I have started focusing more on taking nicer pictures though, so photography is one hobby that I've been keeping up with. I also liked to cook and bake, but I don't really have time to do that much either. I miss it. I'm SOOO sick of frozen dinners.

Having kids is related to genealogy.
I'm boring. I like to read, and run. I read when I pump or sometimes when I'm breastfeeding, and I just started running again this week.
I cross stitch, but have done very little of that since G was born. ?I am going to learn how to knit next week.
ETA: I read a ton. ??

I knit, and luckily, I've managed to keep that up somewhat. I've also have started reading when I pump first thing in the AM before anyone is up and last pump of the night when the kids are in bed.
I play the French Horn. Totally lame I know but its just what I do. I have a device that goes into the bell of the horn and muffels the sound into headphones so it doesnt bother LO, or anyone else for that matter. Ive been playing for years in and out of some local orchestras, and when LO is older id really like to get back into it.
I also have a huge collection of antique comics and figures. Its a costly hobby and I cannot keep it up anymore since I am being a SAHM right now, plus, that money I was putting towards that is now going to LOs things. One day he will get them though and they will be worth much more money then they are now.
I love to read! My grandma, aunts, and I all pass around books. It's great bc I rarely have to buy any. I usually read when I pump.
When I was pg I started doing a lot of crafty projects for DD's room. It was a lot of fun. I'd like to do more of that. I am in the process of making my first diaper cake for my friend's shower.

I think that's awesome. I played the clarinet in high school and I wish I could still play well - I sound horrible and all my reeds are over a decade old, and I'm not going to go out and buy new ones just so I can mess around.
For example: I went to Rite Aid this week and bought: a Jumpo pack of Huggies, my foundation (neutrogena), two tubes of mascara, and 2 packs of Kotex. I spent $1.65 and will be getting $4 back in rebates. I am a religious ebates shopper and will be getting a "big fat check" for nearly $50 this month from my Christmas shopping.
I have a notebook organized with all of my coupons, special store discount cards, etc. And an email that is solely used for coupons, rebates, store emails, etc. I have to spend about an hour a week (I shoot for Sunday evenings) to keep up with it.
Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
I cross stitch, but have done very little of that since G was born. ?I am going to learn how to knit next week.
I used to do counted cross stitch when I was a teenager. I know, I was so cool LOL. I miss that, maybe I will try that out again.
I love it! ?I have made cross stitched x-mas stockings for dh, G and I. ?Its so nice to have handmade x-mas decorations. ??

I love to read. I volunteer a lot (Junior League and church committees - working with the youth and as a deacon). I love to cook and entertain (I don't do the second one nearly as much as I'd like too - I did it much more when DH was in the Army). And I consider wine a hobby - I've taken classes (and want to take more) and love going to tastings.
I used to play the piano and I'd love to pick it up again. And I wish I liked to exercise - I need to find the time somehow.

Before baby I used to teach group fitness and decorate cakes for people as a fun side job.
Last fall I got into another hobby with a friend and we started making hats and hair clips for kids and doing some craft shows.
I also do websites on the side, but I do not consider that a hobby anymore because I am sick of it lol
I'd love to learn to sew!

just blogging.
I love event planning & etertaining, but I don't get to do that very often. I wish we lived closer into the city.

Wow, it is so cool to get on here and read about everyone's talents and hobbies!
I have never really had hobbies, or thought I did at least, but I love to read, entertain, and travel.
