what would you do...

[Leigh]

I'd spend every day with my own kids exploring the world around us. People envy me because I "get to be home with them", but really, they don't get much special when other kids are around. I wish I could just be with them!

[Josiegirl]

Pack up and travel. I never really wanted to travel much while my kids were growing up. Plus we really didn't have tons of money. But now? Of course, if I didn't have to work for a living, I'd just get in the car with my 2 dogs and go. (ok, maybe I'd buy a bigger car first but hey if I'm going to dream, I need to do it my way).
I'd walk more. Garden more. Read more. Be outside more. Go to bed later and sleep in later. I'd take all the stupid child-proof locks off everything. And get rid of all the daycare stuff asap.

If I didn't have to work I wouldn't. I would totally be the perfect house wife and pta mom! Oh to dream haha

[AmyLeigh]

If my income was not needed and money was not a hurdle....

I would go back to school. Physiotherapy and massage therapy. Then yoga therapy.

I would teach yoga. I wouldn't even charge.

I would take more yoga classes with my favourite teacher (they are like mini workshops, I learn so much from him). I would be able to volunteer in the yoga clinic again.

I would turn what is currently the daycare area into part yoga studio and part craft workshop.

I would read and craft and do yoga.

So, I'm guessing you kinda like yoga.

Oh, that dream. I would reopen my Etsy shop, travel, write, work on my house (it's ca. 1880, and there is always a to-do list) and garden/can/make jelly. First though, I would get back into BookCrossing. I miss it so very much, but it's hard to be a BookCrosser if you rarely leave the house.

Okay, I hope I'm not the only one who had to Google BookCrosser! Very cool concept!

[Sunchimes]

I've been doing it since 2002, but had to slow way down after I started daycare.

[Josiegirl]

Ok, guess I'm going to have to google it too. Since you didn't share what you found out.

Ha ha. Yes. I miss having time to do it.

My mom did something similar to this. It is so neat. She discovered a great bunch of books this way.

I may sign up for this, too

I would set up a little "urban homestead" around the 1/3 acre my shop is on, complete with an aquaponic greenhouse. Spend my days making knives in my shop, travel with my wife and kids to her races, and maybe help with the restoration of a 1830s stage stop/ abandoned settlement a little ways away being slowly restored as a living history setting.

[Bookworm]

Me? If I didn't have to work?

I'd be a career college student. I have several degrees/interests that I would love to pursue. I just haven't figured a way to do that yet.


I would definitely need to stay busy though. I would garden every day (I love my flower beds) I would volunteer somewhere. Probably a nursing home or some program that assists the elderly in maintaining active lives.

I would read. Every book in the library.

I have a millions things I would love to do if work and financial obligations didn't get in the way

Same here. I would have so many degrees there'd be no place to hang them. I would also volunteer at the library.
