While my youngest is napping, my oldest (9) knows that it is quiet time and that other than emergencies, she's got to find something to entertain herself. I get a lot of work done that way and a quietness recharge at the same time! Barbi / Danelle @Kate: I’m with you.

That way when they go to bed, you have one less thing to do before your quiet time. Also- even when they stopped napping daily (between 18-24 months for mine) I still encouraged daily quiet time - where they are expected to read or play quietly in their own room for 30-60 minutes. This did wonders for their own moods, and for Mommy's sanity! Even now, at 9 and 4 years they both enjoy quiet time on most days. I find it so nessesary to get a little time to myself during the day since they rise early with us, and now that they're older, they are up later in the evening. @Michelle: When my children were toddlers, I would get them to help with the chores (they still think it’s fun at that age).

LOL I have a toddler who sleeps about 1 hr more than I do and does not take naps anymore. Unfortunately, that one hour at night is filled with cleaning up from the day and/or checking emails. Some days I wish I was NOT a SAHM. LOL These tips may be great for a new mom to know about, but they dont help me much anymore.

My son is napping, and I'm not only reading blogs, but also drinking my coffee (and nibbling on chocolate)...I'm multi-tasking during my "mom-time" :) How timely!
