What would I do… I think read without interruption!
Lynn says
I am pulling together some trainings on self-care and having a better quality life, with the same sources of stress – mainly for foster/adoptive mothers. This book sounds like it addresses a huge part of that. I am so far removed from what I enjoyed in my youth, that I don’t even remember what they are. I have six kids from 7 to 31.

Read more and create memory books

I love to read, but don’t make a lot of time for it. I’m going to do better about that!
Kmosel says
took off 3 days to”get stuff done” around the house, specifically my attic which has become the dumping ground for anything we don’t want to find a place for or throw away -just a little hoarding tendency. Anyway, very frustrated that a majority of my off time was spent vegging with TV…lots of…who am i kidding…way too many fringe hours there!
Holly says
I might get myself outside and take more pictures. . . enjoy God’s creation!
Rebecca Suarez says
I would give myself time to write. It is always so therapeutic for me, and as I age, I find myself feeling much more confident in my writing. That is something that I certainly want to continue to foster rather than allow it to fall by the wayside.
Natalie O. says
Painting!
Sue Colburn says
I think I would go sit by the river and just reflect – without guilt. And read the myriad of books I have from my friends on (in)courage!

I’d read a book.
Courtney says
I would read more, for sure and just enjoy the simple things in life that are often overlooked when I’m “busy” or in a hurry.
Susan says
I would write for Dayspring. God gives words, but.. my schedule fills up with the demands: loving husband, loving children, serving family, serving ministry, teaching, teaching, teaching, work-part-time, and (did I mention) cleaning house..all to HIS GLORY (of course),
Audrey Day says
I would read something, anything that doesn’t have to do with work or raising boys!
Robyn Jones says
I would read more! 🙂
Beth Williams says
First of all I would rest & relax. Then I would made home-cooked meals for hubby. Would love to have tons of hours and, of course, money to be a local missionary–cooking and helping the less fortunate in the area. Would spend a lot more time with my aging dad. 🙂
Stacy says
read more
Elizabeth says
I would love this chance to win! With two little ones not in school yet, finding those fringe hours is tough, but can be possible. Looking forward to reading this book and making time for myself, by reading more books, painting and gardening :o)
Jenna Worthen says
I would write. I know the Lord has placed a burden to pen the words He has put on my heart but as a tired mom the energy and motivation is lacking. The spare moments I have go to a quick rest or a work email. I am really excited to dive into this book discussion

With fringe hours, I plan on painting more furniture to sell and proceeds to help student mission trips from our church

Cheryl Jacobo says
Take more time for myself by reading, crocheting, gardening!
Lauren @ Ordinary|Awesome says
Honestly, I haven’t had a “hobby” in a while… I can’t even think what it would be!! Isn’t that depressing?!? I love to read and I write… but that’s not exactly what I’m thinking of when I think of something fun and creative just for enjoyment… Must think on this more.

I’ll probably try to read more books vs surfing social media.

Johanna Iwaszkowiec says
I’m a SAHM to a 2.5 yr old and 4 yr old, no naps, no school. If I could reclaim some time for me, it would be to read and study for the board exam that will allow me to work in a field that has become a passion and that I only discovered after my kids were born.
Anna C says
Honestly, I feel like I have forgotten what I love to do. I am not going for martyr status here, just in life as a single mom of sweet strong willed 5 year old girl and need to remember I need to fill my cup so I can give better to her & others.
Nancy T says
Time for myself…I am really anxious to begin working on ME. I’ve been working for and with others for the last 45 years, and so, it is now MY time with the Lord. Thanks for making this all possible with your new book…”Fringe…” Am trying also to figure out how to do all of this computer manipulation. tried to comment on my own, but couldn’t figure it out…so I am just adding a reply to the last entry. Hope that works.

Tiffany Lingg says
I love to read but something I would love to make more time to do is draw, paint and craft. I love doing creative, artsy, crafty things. I grew up always drawing and coloring and even made time for it as an adult. But after getting married and working full time and then becoming a mom, the artistic side of myself definitely got pushed down on the priority list – way, way down.

Jessica says
so eager for the book study to begin – already I have been blessed and helped by Jessica’s book
Jill Z says
I think that is part of my problem-there are too many things I would do with any fringe hours and can’t decide what is best: read, paint, draw, knit, shop, pray, go for a walk, just sit, sing, play guitar, organize-ok maybe not the last one?!
Kim says
Spend more time reading,curled up with my heated blanket 🙂
Susan says
What I would do – how does one choose? I ache to do something creative, make art, write, play the piano; but I need to find time for exercise, learn to cook healthy, sort through the detritus of too many years and downsize. I long for simplicity – the time to watch snow fall, breath in candle scent, and freeze-frame “moments” of peace.
Amy Grable says
Read more!
Liesl says
I would love to do more reading, or even treat myself to regular mani/pedis every few months 🙂

Myra Wells says
I’d spend my fringe hours sitting at the beach, watching the waves roll in and remembering a blessing with each wave. When I used to crave out time to do this once a week, I rose from the sand a strong woman and found I could squeeze much more out of my days.

Beth Richardson says
As a full-time college student, with a full-time job, and a mom… I would like to find a little more time for “me”. My craft room is sitting sad, and lonely, and I would love to get some scrapbooking in, or sewing, or painting. I knit when I can steal a few minutes, or when I am watching a half hour of TV with my husband at the end of the day before bed, but that feels like I’m cheating him out of quality time as well. Right now, just joining this study to read a book for pleasure is going to be using my fringe hours… can’t wait! <3
Stephanie Hinz says
I would read and just sit still, maybe journal, and definitely take more solo walks! Trying to remember how important it is for mama’s tank to be full!
