Before my 2nd child was born, I made stained glass windows, painted Norwegian rosemaling, cross-stitched, and collected wild edible plants (a good excuse to be outdoors and in the woods). Didn't have a chance to do much of anything once she came along. I also read everything nonfiction that I could get my hands on. Today I still read all the time; my favorite area to read and apply is Myers-Briggs personality theory. Oh, and I used to collect old cartoons on VHS, none older than mid to late '50s.
