Honey baked muffins completely independently on Sunday and it really made me realise how much help she could be. visit the library once a week with the kids read more real books plan a family holiday for late this year allocate specified times for specific online tasks including emails/research/blogging/facebook/admin/itunes and the like. learn a new skill; this could simply be taking ballroom, cooking, photograph...
