When we’ve had a hectic day of attending the needs of small children, most of us want some time for ourselves to relax in a bit of peace and quiet (chance’d be a fine thing eh)?! The evenings (once the children are actually IN bed) are the only real ‘me’ time many mums get to indulge themselves with a bath, magazine or television programme that doesn’t air on CBeebies; it’s also the time for hobbies and interests so there’s a lot to be packed in!

How do you relax AND take up a hobby? Well, sitting down with a lap top sounds good to me so what about one of these five fun online hobbies you could explore…

Online Shopping

How easy is it? Online shopping is very easy. All you have to do is set up an account with the site you want to buy from and you’re ready to shop. (Who doesn’t like a touch of retail therapy?)
Time consuming? Setting up an account with an online store is straightforward, however, you might lose the odd evening exploring the wonders of Ebay!

Online Education

How easy is it? You need to pick a course and college of your choice, but sites like BestSchools.org help with that.
Time consuming? Depends on the course and college you pick but if you aim for one with a course of study that fits your circumstances then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t study in the evenings!

Online Casino Gaming

How easy is it? Like shopping, you just find a casino online on your smartphone or tablet with the games you want, set up and account and start.
Time consuming? It can be, when you find a fun slot game or get caught up with the cards, but set time and money gambling limits for yourself.

Watching TV Online
How easy is it? Nowadays you can access top television from around the world, through streaming service TechRadar.com.
Time consuming? Yes, if you get caught up in the latest HBO epic.

Blogging
How easy is it? Setting one up is easy, thanks to templates like WordPress, but winning an audience will be more of a challenge. As long as you’re prepared to keep writing in the beginning and not get disheartened if no one is reading while you build your readership then you’ll be fine! .
Time consuming? You can spend as little or as much time as you want writing for it so it is entirely at you.

The internet really is your playground these days, offering you thousands of different ways to unwind without even having to leave your house!
