1). Implement and enforce an early bed time for the kids!
For us, that was the single most important ingredient to getting back into it! If the house was quiet, then we felt as though we could focus on each other. (Our son is 16 and he still has a 9 PM bedtime during the school week).
2). Go to bed at the same time your partner does.
This was the second ingredient that jump started our sex-life. I went to bed with him, even if I was not tired (suffered terribly from insomnia); snuggling can lead to awesome sex. If I still couldn't sleep, I would leave after he fell asleep.
Other than that, I can't think of anything else. It has been a long time since our son was small. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I don't have much to offer. I think my wife was as ready to get back to it as I was. I just tried to be patient and wait until she was sure she was ready. I tried not to bring up the subject and just tried to help out with the kids as much as I could.

I agree with the bed times for the kids. They need to get their sleep, more then an adult needs. Also limit the TV time for you and your partner. Set some time aside for yourselves. I know, it is hard; and it might start to feel like a chore or something you have to do on a schedule. But mommy and daddy need their time too. Relationships need work. Relationships with kids need a lot of work. It is just the way it is. Having kids is hard. Raising kids to grow up to respectable adults is hard. Sit down, just the two of you and talk about what each of you expect out of the relationship. Sexual and emotional. How many times a week you would like to make love. How long each night you would like to sit and talk. ect... That way you are both on the same page and can help each other achieve the goals set.
