  1. I am definitely bookmarking this post as I’ve been looking for hobbies to do with my kiddos especially now that I have them home full time. You are so right, hobbies improve health – mentally and physically. It’s amazing how something as enjoyable as thrift shopping and listening to podcasts can actually be a hobby that you can share with your loved ones. Love this reminder to pause from the stresses of life and to enjoy it! Thank you!

    1. Thank you! I hope you find lots of ideas for fun activities you can do with your children. I know when I had all 4 of mine at home full-time I was always looking for things they enjoyed that we could do together too.

    1. Thanks! I hear you. When you have small children it’s hard to find time for yourself. When our children were little my hobbies revolved around things I could do with them like spending time in nature, going on walks, baking, and reading books together.

  2. These are some fabulous lists. My hobby is reading–I do it daily. It helps keep me sane. I guess eating could be one as well.
