Show and Tell – Show Me the Money!
It’s Show and Tell Tuesday and I’m joining Andrea with Momfessionals to share what I would do if I won the lottery! Eek..it’s a dream come true right? Winning millions of dollars….FOR FREE! How many times have I said something like “I don’t need millions, just one million would work”.
And of course, as anyone would, I think of some of the good I could do in the world. It becomes a little overwhelming to think of all the possibilities and all the ways money could help others.
I’m not going to lie, I would also be giving my 2 weeks notice at work. Okay, okay maybe I would wait it out the next 4 years until I could retire but you can bet not working would definitely be on my wish list. While I do love my job, I also feel like I’ve been blessed to have it in order to provide a chance in the future to do something working with and helping people. So maybe, just maybe a second career would be in my future if I won the lottery. Maybe even a masters degree? Who knows.
One thing for sure, I would want my dream home. The one my family would gather in every holiday. The one my grandbabies can come spend weeks with over the summer. The one Keith and I can rock on the front porch in. Can you see it?
There would be a porch like this! You can bet I’d be lighting that fireplace even when it’s only 71 degrees outside in November!!
Loving this open floor plan and I would love to see my family all hanging out while I cook something up in the kitchen.
But I would totally want big tall ceilings maybe not exactly like this but would lined with beams would be on my wish list.
Granted, it wouldn’t be this view but a view would be amazing!
And of course, who would I be if I didn’t include a dream closet? Lordy mercy I do not even know what I would do with a closet like this.
Let’s be honest, most of us will never win the lottery. If we could all choose the one thing worth more than all the money in the world it would definitely be to never live without those people who mean the very most to me! When I’m surrounded by my people I don’t need luck to be a winner!
So what about you? What would you do if you won the lottery?
Great minds think a like because you just shared my dream house, as well!! I would just make sure I had an AMAZING craft room:)
Happy Tuesday!
Oh that closet!!!!
Love that open concept. And that closet is beautiful! But I agree with you, once my family is happy and healthy those are the most important riches to have!
If I had a closet like that I would host girl night parties in it :P. I can totally see it lady.
I want that fireplace area!!
One of the quotes from Present over Perfect that I read last night – if someone gave you a completely blank calendar and a bank account as full as you wanted, what would you do? Definitely got me thinking!!!
That porch is phenomenal! I'd probably have to hire a personal shopper/someone to do errands for me if I lived there because I would never want to leave!
true story: our friends brother in law and sister won the California lottery many years ago! They travel, built a gorgeous home out in the country and both quit their day jobs! They are in their late 60's now and loving life! Can you imagine ????
Did you just say "grandbabies"?!?!??
Girl…I can hardly wait to be a grandma! I mean my oldest is 26…I had two already by then. 🙂
I CAN imagine Kim!! So awesome
Right Donna? That is what I want for my dream home someday. I want it to have everything I need to relax and host my family and not have to leave.
I would definitely NOT be doing what I'm currently doing. 🙂
Isnt' it fabulous Deena?! I seriously love a great outdoor space.
Yes! PJ party in the closet. 🙂
Heather I would DEFINITELY have a craft room! My other dream is to have a huge area with bunk beds built in for my grandkids. I'm totally planning on a bunch haha.
Right? Maybe I would be able to make an easier decision if I could see everything!
Mine would definitely involve an RV and the open road!
That closet…what dreams are made of…and yes to a big house for the kids and grandkids…:)
Right! And she wants them to spend "weeks" with her! Goodness! Nana of the year!!
Haha…girl I am dreaming of the summers when I can host "Honey Camp" and they can all come stay with me!!! Hopefully I'll still be in good enough shape to handle it!!
When my family is all at home with me I don't even worry about the lack of space we currently have…I'm just so happy they are here!!
Right? I can only imagine how long I would stand in a closet like that trying to pick an outfit. lol
A dream home would be at the very tip top of my list.
