I used to be a work-a-holic but recently turned homemaker. As a woman who used to work 70 or more hours a week, I LOVE FREE TIME. And now I have tons of it-- it was very overwhelming at first.

Now some of these will sound very wifey and antiquated, and it still sounds weird to hear me say them compared to how I used to be a modern day working woman.
cooking - I've always loved to cook but now I actually have time to do it every day and actually enjoy it.
baking - I'd beat myself every holiday for not having time to make cookies or fudge but now I can and I went overboard and bought a cute apron and come cookbooks
crafting - I've always been crafty but now I can actually do it for fun instead of just using my creativity when it was needed at work. Much to my mother-in-law's delight, I'm going to become a scrap-booking junkie.. I can feel it.
shopping - It feels so good to take time to shop and not be rushed. I could be in the same store for hours, just browsing. Love it!

I'm also going to try my hand at painting and see if I'm any good.
