As a stay-at-home mom, it’s often assumed that I have all sorts of free time during the day to do whatever I want. In actuality, I don’t have much free time at all. Between taking my son to school, cleaning, cooking, going to after school sports practices and events, etc. the only “me time” I have is during my twin girls’ nap time. This 2-3 hour stretch is either spent cleaning or blogging. I rarely have any time to do anything else. Some days I wish I could just be lazy and watch movies all day or read a book, but I just don’t feel like I have time to do those things even though I know I should every now and then.
Social media has really taken off in the past few years and it seems like many people prefer to spend their free time interacting online through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, or playing games. I have noticed that many of my friends and family have really been into playing all of those Facebook games. I have never really played any, but I have heard that they are addicting!
My mom and sister love to play online games. While they enjoy playing all sorts of games, bingo is one of their favorites. As a teenager, I remember going and playing bingo with my sister at a local establishment. I ended up winning and it was a lot of fun, but since then I haven’t played. I just discovered partybingo.com, a website that allows you to play bingo and earn cash from the comfort of your own home. The next time I have some free time after the kids go to bed, I might just have to get cozy with my laptop and start playing!
What do you do during your free time? Do you ever play online games?

I have 3 kids and work outside of the home. I even take my youngest to work with me so I am never alone! I used to be able to craft during my free time but for now that is a thing of the past. Free time for me is watching tv or reading blogs late at night.

I usually catch up on some of my tv shows and search the web in my down time. When I get it:)
