  1. I love to sew and make quilts. Being a homeschooling mom of 4, that doesn’t happen often, but when it does…Yay!! 🙂

  2. Thanks for the chance to win! This would be so helpful! With 3 kids fringe hours are hard, but I do try to make time.

  3. I want to get into the subscription services for cleaning stuff. Target with 3 girls is a little crazier than I can handle 🙂

  4. I have been challenged by these posts. i made a chore chart for my kids so they could take over some of my cleaning and I had more time to do something creative!!

  5. So excited for this book and “movement” in my life. I waste a ton of time every day and with the gentle reminders I am finding ways to use those minutes and sometimes even hours, so much more productively. Now that doesn’t mean I am cleaning more, cooking more, serving more. I am taking time to read, organize MY spaces, complete LOAD215 (a scrapbook layout every day in February). I am happier and that translates VERY well for my family.

  6. My favorite thing to do in my fringe hours…read. I have so many books, devotions, etc. that I seem to never have time to read – including the Bible. I also love to paint, draw, craft but have not figured out how to make more time for that. Hopefully this book will give me some ideas!!

  7. Ideally, I love to read, knit and crochet. More often than not though, I don’t allow myself to get started with any of those things (not sure I would be nice about putting it down to take care of life you know?) So I tend to play words with friends, solitaire etc.
    Perhaps, if I did give myself permission, to do more than games it wouldn’t be quite so hard to set it aside after an hour or so….
    Great giveaway.

  8. I homeschool 4 kids and my husband and I both own our own businesses. My business happens to fulfill my creative side, so during my fringe hours, my favorite thing to do is sit in the hot tub and catch up with hubby!

  9. I just told my sister-in-law yesterday about how I was using ePantry and Amazon Prime Pantry for so many household and some grocery products … and how I loved that it gave me more time at home to do what needed to be done there and what I wanted to do. Sums up #FringeHours right there! So it’s fun this is your giveaway today – what a fabulous prize! In my #FringeHours, I like to read or scrapbook.

  10. Read just for fun : ) It doesn’t happen often in our current phase of life, so I love when I can make time for it!

  11. i love a fun sewing project – rare, but rewarding when I make time for it.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway and ePantry offers!

  12. My fringe hours — are my loves too many or my hours too few???
    Piano, running, gardening, reading
    taking photos and documenting life
    making quilts, making cards and connecting with friends
    loving my family and friends and spending time together

  13. My favorite thing to do is READ!
    I love books…. or sometimes its just as simple as browsing a magazine
    I got in the mail, like the Pottery Barn catalog.
    I need to make this kind of time more intentional in my day.
    I can’t wait to read The Fringe Hours!

  14. Read, read, read! (With a coffee alongside is even better). I recently tried to pick up crochet again but with every row I kept decreasing my stitches and got discouraged so set it aside for a time with more fringe hours to remember how to do it.

  15. Would love to catch up on some of the books I’ve stock-piled, work on the scrapbooks for my sons, and play around with some furniture painting.

  16. I am so excited about your new book, Jessica! Thanks for all the great info on your blog and fun giveaways! I love to read, sew, take pictures and scrapbook in my fringe hours.

  17. My absolute favorite thing to do is….READ. 🙂 With a 3 year old, I don’t get to spend as much time doing that as I would like.

  18. I am not sure what “fringe hours” are Jessica. Sorry. I am very much looking forward to reading your book and doing another bloom book study with you and Angie. (sniff, sniff) Sad to hear you lovely ladies are stepping back from the book club but totally understand.

  19. I want to take the time to do FUN stuff for me! Not shopping for household items, cleaning, etc. 🙂 And not waste the free time that I do have and probably don’t realize it.

  20. I love to read! I recently discovered the e reading app at our public library and I’m having a blast with it

  21. I just bought an old (as in over 100 years old) house and so my fringe hours are spent with fun house projects. Thankfully I actually enjoy these types of projects – painting, sawing, sewing, decorating… I burn through fringe hours like they are going out of style.

  22. I have so many things that I love to do in my fringe hours. Sewing, quilting, making jewelry, stained glass. I try to take advantage of those 5 and 10 minute spans. The little things do add uup.

  23. I’ve started crafting again, and I love it. I sew during naptime, knit while my toddler is plying (because it’s the easiest to put down and pick up again) and if I’m not exhausted after bedtime, Im learning to spin.
