Obviously, you love spending time with your children.  That does not mean that you don’t feel a certain amount of joy when that time of day comes.  When dinner has been eaten, when they have had their bath and you tuck them up into bed for the night.  If you are like most parents, this is a highlight of your day.  The only problem you can sometimes have is how you are going to spend this time.

Not being able to leave the house without a babysitter can make certain activities out of the question, but as you will see below there are plenty of other things you can do from the comfort of your own home.

Catch Up On Some Reading

If you are a bookworm, it can be hard to find the time when you have kids to allow yourself to escape between the pages of a good book.  This is what evenings at home, chilling out in front of the fire or tucked up in your bed, are all about.  After your kids have gone to bed, kick off your shoes and read that best seller you have been meaning to.  Not only will the reading help you relax and wind down before your own bedtime to help you sleep better; but it will also provide your brain with a workout.  You don’t even have to buy shelves and shelves of books if you invest in a handy and portable e-reader.

Have A Little Fun Online

Mobile phones and now tablets have really revolutionized how we live our lives, interact with people and entertain ourselves.  You can now even gamble on them, meaning that from the comfort of your own home, you can get the same experience you would if you went to a casino or bingo hall. Bingo Extra is a great and easy-to-use website that gives you the chance to while away the quiet hours in the evening while your kids settle down, chatting to other players and trying to win one of many cash prizes.

Take A Long Bubble Bath

If you have been running around busy all day – cleaning the house, working, feeding, and spending time with the kids – it can take its toll.  Why not use the time you have to yourself in the evening to pamper and indulge yourself a little by having a relaxing, warm, and very bubbly bath?

As you can see there is more you can do in the evening than just spend it in front of the television.  Whether you try Free Bingo, one of the other activities mentioned above, or something else, the rest and “you time” will help you to feel refreshed and ready for the next day.
