Naptime when they were little, reading or looking at books when they were older. <br /><br />It wasn't easy training them, but I did it. It was child abuse prevention hour! <br /><br />Naps until they were about 8. As they grew older, it was time for an hour of reading.<br /><br />As a result, all my four children love to read!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LauraMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-68807236333802459572014-08-12T07:28:03.674-06:002014-08-12T07:28:03.674-06:00"I am, in general a very quiet, keep to mysel..."I am, in general a very quiet, keep to myself kind of gal."

I know in my young mom days, a little noise was the acceptable level. Too loud or too noisy is trouble!<br /><br />Take that cup of coffee up to your room, or on the porch, and drink in the silence with the beverage. We all need that, I agree.<br />Thinking of you,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-13996584424457611942014-08-11T04:10:32.093-06:002014-08-11T04:10:32.093-06:00Its always nice to have some time to your self - i...Its always nice to have some time to your self - its just my husband and I now and the house is much quieter without our boys, I play music to break up the silences sometimes :)Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-54154567784954738372014-08-06T08:28:39.180-06:002014-08-06T08:28:39.180-06:00It is so true Amy.

It is such a mixed thing when you are raising kids... you do need that quiet time, and then if it is too quiet, you can't relax, because something seems wrong, and often is; haha. Did you see Himilce and Nathan's video they made for Mops? It was so cute, and pretty much pictured what you just described. You ought to pop over and see it on facebook. But yes, you must have that quiet time. I know that I always had a quiet time for all of us when the kids were growing up. It helped settle the kids down as well as myself, and gave me enough strength to finish the day; I still like my quiet time, even though I don't have little ones anymore. Just a need of my own personality, which is a little like yours. Love seeing you post, and have missed you. I will see you tomorrow with dinner.<br />Love and Blessings,<br />PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-8747873790908359392014-08-06T06:57:41.851-06:002014-08-06T06:57:41.851-06:00Good Morning, I remember babysitting my nieces/nep...Good Morning, I remember babysitting my nieces/nephews and being really suspicious when they were quiet!<br />Even with just the two of us, we often "go to our separate corners of the house" to have quiet time.<br />I especially value the early morning quiet time with the Lord.<br />God bless your day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-44215366906391739642014-08-06T06:12:02.724-06:002014-08-06T06:12:02.724-06:00Yes, we do need quiet time, I had 3 girls so it wa...Yes, we do need quiet time, I had 3 girls so it was not too bad.
