As a parent time away from the kids is important what do you do on the days you have to your self and/or how do you unwind when the kids go to sleep?

I write when they are asleep. IF my husband and I go out without at least one of the kids, it's on a date.

We had five kids so it was pretty full on. Once the older ones were able to look after the smaller, we took the dog for a walk every night. That was our time to talk.
