Life is Cool: What do you during nap time?

I stumbled upon these beautiful images a while ago and they popped into my head the other day... Take a few minutes to enjoy this lovely YouTube clip, then continue reading on....




Did you enjoy that little multi-media interlude....?

Now back to me....


Nap time. That glorious time when the house is quite and I can finally do something for me. Aahhhhh.... Thankfully, Miss Z still naps when she is at home and Baby Cool can't help but fall asleep after lunch.... 


I sometimes check email, check in on Facebook, read blogs or write some blog posts. More often than not though, I am in my work out gear sweating it out on the Wii Fit... I love it. 
I also tackle things like this during nap time....


Kid's stuff all over the place...
Stuff left in the wrong places...
Overflowing baskets of 'important' paperwork...
A disastrously messy kitchen...
Shoes, shoes, shoes, left everywhere....
A bomb site of hair bands in the bathroom....
and then CRUMBS CRUMBS EVERYWHERE....*


I cannot imagine having the time, creativity or imagination to do what Adele Enerson does with baby Mila... But, it is lovely. I was amazed by how clean her carpets were! I was amazed by how Mila just sleeps on the floor.... It is very very sweet... 

I cannot help but to wonder how much therapy Mila is going to need when she is older though... ('I cannot sleep in a normal bed, I can only sleep on cream loop pile carpets, and I NEED to hold a felt carrot and wear a purple turban to fall asleep') But I am a bit cynical...

Adele Enerson writes a very lovely blog... 
You can take a peek here... 





*I post these photos of my messy house for my friends who tease me, yes tease me, for having such a tidy house... One kindly friend insinuated that I should not write so many status updates on Facebook about how I SHOULD be cleaning the house. In reality, in March, I only mentioned cleaning 5 times. Yes, I went back and checked. That is the kind of person I am.

What things do you do during nap time?

Today fell asleep in front of the fire, so cosy, wrapped in my mink blanket..after feeding the family with pasta salad with garlic+olive oil dressing, sausages on the bbq and then a gluten free fudge brownie..

Sometimes I nap too! Like you I check FB and my blog roll....like right now it's obviously nap time. Tidying ranks pretty high. Once in a while I read a little. Am inspired by Tracy's idea...although a fire in CQ is a bit of overkill.

Kirsty, you can get one of those fake ones - just for the effect!

Your lunch sounds amazing Tracy! Yummo!

OK. You make a good point. You can be on a par with me sometimes. But I can never get every area of my house tidy at any one time, I've always got to leave doors closed somewhere. I suppose you will have to win the messy house challenge, because I'm not brave enough to prove how bad I am by putting all the photos of my messy home on my blog. (Oh yes, I waste way too much time on the computer too.)

LOL :) My house looks very similar to yours right at this minute!And most of the time but not always,the house only looks VERY tidy when I am getting a visitor...(is that bad?)Oh well oops. Well, tidying does not rank high on my list of things to do at nap time then. Usually I nap too(just a little one), but at the moment I am chowing down a HUGE bowl of popcorn and reading your blog :). Most days I do the slow cooker, exercise for 20 mins, BBM my sisters, email my family and I do this whilst drinking lots of mugs of hot drinks because its cold. :)
