Time!

When do you guys find time to read? I love reading but never can seem to find the time. I have an almost 6 year old and an almost 5 month old. I own two boutiques, so in my free time, I’m cleaning, cooking, working or attending to children.

Try audiobooks. It's not the same as physical books or kindle but you can listen to them as you clean, cook etc. Get some nice Bluetooth earbuds/headphones.

Audiobooks are how I consume almost 90% of my books since I had my 5.5 year old and now with two very hyper kids. And there's a lot of free audiobooks through libraries. Kindle Paperwhite is how I can somewhat get actual reading done without having someone losing my bookmark or my 15 month old being rough with my physical books. Again libraries have a lot of free ebooks.

I read to sleep every night 😴 part of my bedtime routine!

I do Audiobooks when cooking, cleaning, or working out. I read physical books when my daughter is playing sometimes if it's an appropriate book I read it outloud and she just listens (for 30min). And I use kindle when I'm out and about having to wait in line, or before bed.

I read while nursing my baby, whenever I get a chance when he’s napping. And right before I go to Sleep

After I had my son I had no time to read and when I did I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish a page bc I was exhausted so I tried audiobooks. 4 years later I am hooked. I now have a 4-year-old and 6 month old and I do the audiobooks while I am cleaning, cooking whatever, and reading at night. I tried to map out time in my day for things I love after losing myself in motherhood

@Calloway same here- I find both the audiobook and ebook on my library apps

I read while I hold my napping son. 🤣
