When do you find time to read? It is one of the things I miss most after having the babies, but I only find time to read roughly 10 or so pages in a day.

you are doing better than I am- 10 pages a day and with twins. lol ~ right now i am lucky to make 10 pgs a week with 1 kid.

i used to LOVE to read (still do- just no time)- and I know I need to MAKE the time- but it just never seems in the cards lately. And I used to be an English major... sigh. oh well.

I don't watch tv, so at night after Ben is asleep, the computer and reading are my entertainment. Also, his new thing is when he's playing he'll often tell me that he doesn't want me to play with him. So I get a couple 15-ish minute chunks of time and I'll sit near him and read while he's playing. I will sometimes read for a little bit when he's napping too.

Pretty much the same as seans_grl. I do read a lot (1-2 novels a week, depending on how busy school is). I don't really watch too much tv (probably 3 hours of dvr'ed shows a week). I read while she plays, and usually stay up til 12-1am. I read while DD takes a shower. I drag a chair in there and read while she plays. She won't get out until the water turns cold, lol.

I think your boys are still small, right? I didn't read near as much when she was younger.

I read while DD is asleep (naps and night). And I will also read a little bit during the day if DD is playing well independently. I read 1-2 books a week.

I read mostly at night after they are in bed and sometimes during nap time. I also have a few minutes sometimes while they are playing together but I try to use that time to clean and straighten up, make phone calls, etc. Your twins are still young and I didn't have enough time to read when mine were that little either. For me, I have more time now that they are older.

The only place I ever like to read is in bed late at night. My goal is to read something every day, even if it's only a page.

My girls seem to take their best naps in the car, so if I have to run errands I grab a book and put them in the car at naptime. To some it may seem like a huge waste of time, but I'm totally ok with sitting in the Target parking lot for an hour reading while they sleep.

It gets better when they got older. I was always a 1-2 book a week reader before kids, and when Finn was born I was lucky to get through a book in under two months. Now that my kids are past the infant stage, I get a lot more reading in. I take a book outside to read when they're in the yard, and I don't have to crash at 8:30 at night because I'm going to be up three times before 6:00.

Mostly at night when everyone is asleep. I stay up until about 11:30 or so. And we don't really watch TV (just sports games, etc) so after the girls are in bed.

Your twins look young. Once you're on more of a routine it'll get easier to read.

BTW- I'm a twin I have a brother. I'm sure you get a lot of people saying that to you now.

In the evening right before I go to bed........I'm in a book club that's part of my mom's club and so I only get to read one book a month, but I think that's okay for now.
