What kind of hobby do you have?
Do you usually do it alone, with your DH, with a friend/family member?
Re: Hobby Poll
I don't know if it qualifies as a "hobby" but I volunteer. I have a steady volunteer gig (which you know about) that is usually just me- sometimes DH comes to the family friendly activities as well as E. I also regularly read to a 3rd grader (weekly) on my lunch hour through Power Lunch.
I also do crafting, which is usually just me (but at home so DH is usually in the room with me doing his hobby- video games).
Blogging? Does that count??
Considering I spend hours blogging and editing pictures, I feel like I can count blogging and photography.
Before the baby, DH and I were running together...but now we have to run apart. We're still planning on training for a marathon together, but it will be tough to get the time in.
I want to learn to sew in the new year!
Hiking, walking, running, and working out is one of my favorite hobbies. I love being active! I do it alone, but sometime DH comes too but he does his own thing.
I also love to take pictures and videos, mostly of my kids.
I also volunteer for RESOLVE and I get a huge amount of personal gratification doing that- it is my passion to help raise awareness about IF and help people build families.
And shopping...does that count? ; )

TTC Journey Over~ Not By Choice
I like to read, i haven't had as much time as before the baby so now I listen to audio books when Im in the car doing errands or on my commute to work.
I like doing crafts. I just learned some sewing this past summer so I make some stuff for the baby which is fun.
Oh and i am on the internet a ton...pinterst, the boards, facebook etc....
My hobby has taken a serious backburner since having kids. I used to volunteer every Sunday morning at the Arizona Animal Welfare Leagues shelter (I am a HUGE advocate for adopting shelter animals and donating to rescue groups), working with the dogs. Now I am lucky if I even get to take my own dog for a walk
I also love to draw, but havent done that in AGES. Maybe when the kids turn 18? LOL
I've recently started sewing and I've made a few diapers and wet bags so far. I'm not great at it yet but I'm learning. I'm also learning to knit! It's definitely been hard to find time to devote to it with a toddler running around.
BLOG
Oh boy, I have a lot...lol
Read, crochet, finish/refinish furniture, computer IT stuff (hoping to be a career), any type of crafting, blogging....thats all I can think of for now.

My hobbies are reading, crafting, baking, cooking, I want to get into sewing more. CJ and I will cook and bake together but the rest I do by myself... usually we will be in the same room me doing my hobby CJ doing his playing video games. I will say that since having Zach the amount of time I have for my hobbies is less but I still find time to do things I like to do while he is napping, or i like reading before I go to bed, it gets me nice and relaxed for a good nights sleep.
I volunteer with Sunset Kiwanis in town. We just threw a party for Helping Hands Food bank kids and had Santa give them all presents. Next month we're going to try and get back down to the Ronald McDonald house and February is the Great Fair again...
I love to listen to audio books, read real books, occasionally I do a little cross stitch and then there is always watching TV and surfin the net.
