I like to curl up with some nice music (Runrig or Loreena McKennitt) and either stitch or read.
I can't go for a nice long bath as if I do I can't get out again as I seize up and it is so painful so I have have nice baths but no longer than 10 minutes (not really super relaxing)
I find baking helps me relax as well but not with my DD (enjoyable but 5 yr olds and kitchens harly make for relaxation)

An uninterupted Shower, which means no kids barging in on me. Another thing is a cup of coffee when everyone else is asleep. Sometimes a book if I can manage some alone time.

I really dont have the time to relax at my house...I have 4 kids to take care of and a husband...I am on the go all day long..without a break for the most part..I wake-up to kids and go to bed with them...

Oh man! A nice hot shower! No kids being loud. Not dogs growling and harrassing each other. No phone ringing. Wait...no kids asking me a million questions from different directions! LOL But that never happens.
So I will settle for a nice hot shower and hopefully 20 minutes of no one knocking on the door.
But I also have one thing that relaxes me after my kids go to bed.
I read. I stay up reading with only the sounds of the house or an occasional child talking in their sleep. When I am done reading, I will climb in bed and push play on my mediation cd. Once that cd starts playing, I am relaxed enough to go to sleep. Ahhh! Nice!

New age music, candles, my dogs snoring and my cat burping on my head. Coffee and good book = haven :)

For me it's a nice cup of coffee with nobody to disturb me while I drink it.

Lying in a long, hot bath scented with lavendar, or playing with my cats. Listenng to music also helps me relax. I like Enya too!

Many things-- listening to soothing music, taking a hot bubble bath, getting a back rub from fiance, playing outside with my daughter, going for walks, reading alone or with daughter, watching a good movie.
