What do you mom's like to do for fun?
What's your "idea" of fun?
What do you like to do to pamper yourself when the situation presents itself?

I like to walk, jog, shop for something different when I have a little extra money to spend, meet up with friends occasionally to have lunch or for dinner & a glass of wine, meet a friend for coffee for an hour, pick up a video to watch at night, treat myself to a
mocha now and then.

Love to hear your ideas.

What can I do next?

When (and I'm talking very rare snippets of time here) I have time to do *me* things, my idea of a good time include...

AT HOME:
Crafting (scrapbooking, drawing/painting, crocheting)
Gardening (I putter around my garden like an old lady--and LOVE it)
Reading (my go-to for relaxation)
TV (if hubby is joining, we catch up on our faves, if not I watch HGTV or DIY stuff)

WITH FAMILY:
Camping (really, anything outdoors)
Hiking
Local Attractions
Yard Sales/Flea Market
Arts & Crafts with my daughter

PAMPER MYSELF:
Haircut (alone--I really only do this like 1-2 times per year)
Massage (I've been going every 3 months just to treat myself)
Window Shopping (alone--just to get away from the house, walking, looking at interesting stuff)
Lunch/Coffee out with my work-girlfriends

I love to have sex with The Man, we have hit our groove in the last few years and impress each other all the time how even after 16+ years we still really enjoy each other and have fun! It's really kinda cool actually!

I am also a huge reader.

We LOVE to camp.

Just hanging out in the backyard at either our house or my sis' house, relaxing by the pools with a nice adult beverage is my go-to summer activity!

~Currently packing and getting ready to move to NY in the next 36 days...so unfortunately none of the above will be possible for awhile! Sucks! The Man flys out on the 12th to start his new job...the kids and I are going to miss him like crazy! :(

In addition to that I have become addicted to pinterest and have made several cool home and garden projects that I have found there, mostly things to do with plants, cooking, home decor and photography.

Good question! I like to swim, travel, read, dive, surf and snorkel. I like to watch television and listen to music. I like hanging out with my boys on the weekend.

I am a bit of an introvert, so don't have many friends. If I didn't work full-time I would volunteer at my boys' school, do more exercise, and renovate my house.

I like to make love to my wife, go on cruises, garden and watch happy ending movies (like Halmark has).

I like to play games (scrabble, canasta, Ticket to Ride, etc) with my kids and their families.

I love to swim at warm water beaches like 7-mile beach in Jamaica. I love good BBQ prepared by experts, whether they be well paid or amateur backyard cooks.

I really like helping those in need, like the good people here on mamapedia.

Good luck to you and yours.

Well I don't think I pamper myself enough, because I am having a hard time thinking how to answer this. I do like a glass or two or three of wine now and then, and I do go out to lunch with friends occasionally. I hate to shop, so that is out. My sister and I have plans to go see the movie The Heat when it comes out. Have you seen the previews for that movie? It looks hilarious. Oh, and I love to go to garage sales.

Fun? Lots of things are fun for me:
Gardening (most days, sometimes achy work)
Crossword puzzles
Funny movies, esp. old comedies or BBC costume dramas. sigh. how lovely!
Wine, beer, or a nice gin drink in the evenings.
Getting together with a girlfriend for drinks
Trying out new restaurants on a date night with my sweet husband
Writing
Reading
Trash tv. (think Hell's Kitchen or Master Chef)

If I had my druthers, most of the time I'd go to the pub with a good book or the paper for a fine glass of some fancy-shmancy microbrew and sit in the quiet, chat with other regulars if they're around and enjoy a bit of 'me' time. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's awesome!
