A few notes on your evening routines:

Loading the dishwasher: Finish filling the dishwasher with the dirty dinner dishes. Be sure to turn it on before bedtime.

Fold Laundry: Remember that load you washed this morning? Now is the perfect time to fold that load while relaxing in the living room, maybe while watching a show or movie.

Exercise: My favorite time to work out is in the evenings. If this is the best chance you have for some quiet time, by all means try to move your body for a little while (at least 30 minutes) in the evening when the kiddos go to bed!
