Did you know that it is give away time again? No? I didn’t either until I was over at the lovely Witchypoo’s place reading.
Seems that I need to work out something to give away!
Because I am in Australia, how about I give you $25 via paypal? That way I don’t have to worry about the postage costs, or remembering to go to to the post office. Also, it means that everyone can enter no matter where you are. I’m nice like that.
To be eligible for the $25 (and yes, you HAVE to read this bit) I want to know what you would do if money was no object for you.
And I do mean, if money was NO object at all.
I will be very interested to hear what everyone has to say.
Now, I do know that some people have an objection to paypal, so if that is the case, I’m sure you and I could work something out. A starbucks gift card or an online gift voucher or something. I’m not phased, as long as it is all to the tune of $25AU.
Also, you can grab yourself a second entry (because who doesn’t need TWO chances at money!) by subscribing to my feed.
Everyone wants to know about my issues with Amy sleeping and how we can’t seem to fall pregnant for a second time. Hey, you can always unsubscribe if after a week you decide you hate me.
Right?
I will draw the winner Saturday using a random number generator to pick the winner. I will then get in touch with you via email, or you can check back here to see who won. I am going to draw it Saturday because of the time differences. I mean, you would hate to get here Friday your time zone, to find out that entries had closed.
Anyway, go on and leave me a comment about what you would spend unlimited amounts of money on.

would build the house of my dreams, hire a personal chef and trainer. Then after I lost some weight I’d buy a whole new wardrobe and travel the world.

I would travel the world and learn about new cultures. There are so many countries I would like to see..go to Africa and see the animals, Australia and see the park that Steve and Terry Irwin have etc. Thanks for the contest!
If money was no object, I’d travel like a nomad–spending 3-6 months in each place.
And I’d shop. ALOT!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

If money weren’t an object at all I would like to help people more with BIG needs. We try and give when we can and it is such a rewarding feeling but sometimes I just wish we had more to give for families and those that have huge needs.
I would buy a new house, have everything in it custom designed for my family, hire a housekeeper, and give an obscenely large donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Well, I love to make people smile by blessing them with something they need but cannot afford so I’d spread a lot of it around. We already do a lot of that but I’d have a blast doing it on a much larger scale. Plus, I’d hire a professional organizer to help me finally get completely decluttered, hang up shelves for me, replace my carpet throughout the house and then take my family to Hawaii. I went there when I was 12 with my newly divorced mom and it is so beautiful. I would love for my husband and children to see it.
I’d pay for swimming lessons every summer for my children and anyone else who needed it but couldn’t afford them. I’d get a harp for my 7 year old daughter and hire a teacher for her to take lessons. Ok, I think that is enough for now. You got me going.
I’m going to subscribe to your feed and start praying for you to have another baby.

I would buy a house, a new house in the expensive part of town, right by the rose garden and creek.
I would pay off student loans. I hate them.
I would start a writing program for elementary kids to teach them creative writing techniques.

I WOULD ALSO GET A LIVE IN MAID…
Travel, travel and travel some more. I really would like to see Egypt and all of Europe.
I would of course pay off all our debts, as well as that of our families. Then I would constantly do random acts of kindness for people around me 🙂 Do some traveling, get a maid (and a cook maybe lol), buy some clothes that are actually nice.
Kara’s last blog post..Tips and Tricks
If money were no object I’d be saying buh-bye to any work for a year (or 5!), and any husband work for a year (or 5!), and go travel around the world, in high style. No crappy hotels, no dingy diners, only the best!
Jenn of The Roof’s last blog post..Carnage
1. Pay off all debt
2. Go out to dinner and talk about what to do with all the money
3. Buy houses in various great places

Grace’s last blog post..EARTH DAY give-away #2: BPA-free Thermos FUNtainers
I would take our family on a trip to Orlando to go to Disney, Sea World, Universal, Aquatica… We’ve been to Disney here in California but I want to go to Disney WORLD. We have Sea World passes, but Sea World Orlando looks so much bigger and better than Sea World San Diego. I also really want to go to their new waterpark.
oooooh, so many things, buy a new house and have it professionally decorated, send DS to best school ever or HS w/ pricey curriculums, but i bet a lot of it would go into my business, i do adoptions and i would rev up our advertising and hire wonderful social workers and PAY THEM WHAT THEY’RE WORTH!
Ebie’s last blog post..Bloggy Giveaways

Tiffany Rosson’s last blog post..How is this for frugal and green?
If money were no object I would travel all over the world.
oh If money was no object I would pay off all our debt, and all our friends and families debt, and sponsor about a zillion world vision children, and travel the world, and generously pay a maid to clean up after my family, and knock down our house and put a fun new one up in its place- one without stuff going wrong in it and one of those cool enviro-friendly ones that cost pennies to heat and stuff, and hire a special aid to go to school with my son and help him, and pay someone to come over and watch my kids when I am so tired from yet another sleepless night, and do lots of random acts of kindness… and I could go on and on and on and on.
Wouldn’t it be fun?
Tara R’s last blog post..Book Winner
Pay off debt, build a new, bigger house, send lots of money to missions, stay home with my family and homeschool the kids – already doing this – get high speed internet! Travel around and spend time with other Christians in encouragement. Would be fun!

Buy a bigger home and have daddy home with us to enjoy the kids more.
If money was no object, I would buy a home, hire someone to clean it so I could spend time with my kids and travel more. Thanks!
I’d buy a new house on 2 acres, help build my church a new building, and travel! And buy books by the dozens….
I would buy a hybrid and give to a different charity every single day.
I have never traveled outside of the country so I would travel the world
If $ were no object I would support all the microloan agencies that help to get destitute people in impoverished countries up on their feet by loaning money to start businesses.
I would also join in the programs working to provide clean drinking water to those who need it.
I feel like I sound like a beauty queen in a pagent, but that is what i’d really love to do.
thanks for your generosity.
Oh My Goodness.. NO OBJECT at all?? I’d pay off our student loans, build us a decent house that would last us and our uses until our children inherit it, fix up or replace our vehicle with one that doesn’t keep breaking and buy all the school curriculum I’d need for the next couple of years.
That sounds about right. 🙂
Amber (Imperishable Beauty)’s last blog post..Wednesday Link Love
If money were NO object, eh?
I’d pay off my mortgage and my parents’ mortgage, and then I’d set up a state-of-the-art laboratory and hire a bunch of research scientists and fund research into cures for diseases, and important things like easier/better methods of birth control for both women and men! So much research is funded by commercial interests these days, whose only goal is to find something they can sell, so it would be good to have some non-commercial research!

Rachel’s last blog post..E-tailer Review: Pacific Scents
i would buy new clothes (that acutally fit me). but most of all i would move to the country and build me a huge house and have a farm.
that is my dream.
trepilynnell (at) juno (dot) com
If money were no object, I would go on tons of cruises and go back to the British Isles MANY more times. But, most importantly of all, I would donate lots of money to help homeless animals and to uplift and support all the service men and women who are doing their part to protect the U.S.A. I would even like to have a big farm where homeless animals could be kept and fed and where service people could come on R&R.
If money were no object, I’d definitely hire someone to take over the organization and running of my household — I’m not doing a great job there! Beyond that, I’d probably go on a shopping spree, pay off loans for all my family, buy some nice things for the mum and dad, and all those clichéd things that lottery winners do. Then I’d invest a whole lot of it, sit back and enjoy life! Thanks for the great chance to get some PayPal love.
If money was no object? I’d live in a much bigger, newer house. I’d have a cleaner, a landscaper, and a cook. I’d spend all my spare time with my kids, playing with them, taking them to different places, teaching them. As soon as the kids were all in school, I’d open up my own quilting store and spend school hours playing and creating there. I’d also go on a nice family trip, and a nice husband and me trip once a year.
Rebecca’s last blog post..Bloggy Giveaways Contest
If money was no object-I would …I dont know..LOL…
There is always the side where we think of our own comforts and such-but then instantly the thoughts come to me that I am living in luxury compared to many in the world…and so I’d want to also give give give so that others could not be in need. I am so comfortable in comparison.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I work for an agency that helps cancer patients, so I would use the money to pay for treatment for everyone who can’t afford it. Plus extra to pamper them too!
First I would buy a house and update our cars and pay off our debt, start a college fund for my son and neices and nephews. Then I’d make sure my family all were “taken care of” and then I’d start giving money to charities.
Jessica’s last blog post..Giveaway #2 — Custom made fruit roll-ups
I would go on a World Cruise
I would buy a huge new house, pay a maid to clean it and travel the world!!! What fun would that be? I would probably also do something good with the money…donate to some good causes and stuff, I wouldn’t be totally selfish with it.
First, I would adopt more children. And then, I would buy a big farm and build a house.
Alaina’s last blog post..Teeth, Teeth
If money were no object I would continue my education without worrying about how I’m going to pay the bills. Part of my education would consist of taking at least a year off and traveling the world to see how other people around the world live.
I would take the time, that I don’t have now, to learn to decorate cakes, sew, glass blowing, ballroom dancing, pilates, etc.
I would spend time volunteering for the organizations and causes I feel strongly about – such as RAINN and feeding the homeless.
I would have children because I wouldn’t have to worry about trying to juggle kids, job, school, and everything else.
Jennifer’s last blog post..Bloggy Giveaway – Lavender Eye Pillow
If money were no object, I’d hire a full-time housekeeper–then I’d be able to focus on doing fun things with the kids and organizing stuff instead of trying to remember whether I have to pull another load of laundry out.
I’d make sure I had a sitter lined up for date nights with DH and start taking ballet classes again.
And I’d be delighted to give more generously to organizations doing good around the world.
Best wishes with the sleeping–as a mom of not-so-great sleepers, I completely sympathize. And I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you on #2 🙂
Take care!
i would get married and travel the world.
my dh would quit his job and I’d let him homeschool the kids 🙂
I’m sure we’d love a bigger house and all that too, but I would help friends and family with their needs and I would love to take some mission trips to Africa and tell them about Jesus!
stampedwithgrace’s last blog post..Win on the Web!
I’d buy a new house, car, furnish my house, buy a whole new wardrobe, then put it in savings!
The Pumkin Patch’s last blog post..She cleared that right up
We would set up several foundations to assist children trying to go to college, missionaries, and military families. My husband and I would both quit our jobs, finish college, and also pay off our kids student loans (they stuck it out where we didn’t). We would buy a house and property again since we lost ours when he was unemployed for several years; share funds with extended family; and travel, too.
ShawneeH’s last blog post..More Giveaways
If money was no object we would become missionaries, and support missionaries. I’d also have a working van.
Qtpies7~’s last blog post..I can’t stop giggling!
If money was no object, I’d
– get out of debt
– put aside enough to live on for the future, and
– travel the world with my family
I’d love to run an orphanage, and my husband would love to fund start up companies, but those 3 things would be at the top of my list.
Thank you!

If money were no object, I would love to travel a bit and be able to spend more time all together as a family. I would also love to help out organizations like World Vision to help kids around the world.

kailani’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #29
I’d go on a round-the-world cruise!
If money was no object then i would build a HUGE house on a large wooded property.
If money were no object here is what I would do; buy a house for my kids and myself, pay all my bills off, put away money for all my kids (4) for them to go to college, and then save the rest to live on.
I would love to be debt free. And then I would buy lots of stuff for my little girl!!! Shoes, clothes, bows, toys. She spoiled already, but if money were no object…look out!
Jenn’s last blog post..Spring!
If money were no object I’d build my dream house, travel, go to the Broadway shows and concerts I want to see. I’d do a lot more volunteer work since I didn’t have to worry about the bills being paid.
Jeanine’s last blog post..It’s Bloggy Giveaway Time !
I’d move somewhere warmer. I’d get Lasik surgery. I’d have more kids. I’d stay at home with them. My husband could go to med school if he wanted to (but I doubbt he’d still want to if money was no object) No more credit card debt! I’d love to travel and take regular vacations. oooh, I could go meet some of the wonderful bloggers I’ve been talking to online.
ktjrdn’s last blog post..Terrifying
If money were no object, I would travel extensively. I would stay here for the summer when the weather is nice, but the rest of the year I would travel the world (with frequent stops home to see family of course). Thanks for the giveaway!
Chrysa’s last blog post..Freebie Friday – Free Stuff, Contests and Deals
If money was no object first my husband would quit his job he hates and I would never clean another persons house or my house again. We would travel alot and send our sons to the best colleges. Thanks for the escape from reality. It was fun to dream:)
I would travel in style. I have always wanted to see Spain and Tahiti. I would love to snorkel around the world.
Let’s see…_BIG_ house, grand piano, cook & maid (or at least helpers), pay off all family debt (parents and siblings anyway), pay off church’s debt (maybe…I’d have to think on that one, not because I’d begrudge them the funds, but because I guess I feel that the church as a whole and not just one family should be responsible for the church’s needs), um….lots of donations to good causes…and other stuff…baby just woke up from his nap…
Awesome prize!
Princess Leia’s last blog post..Just Had to Share
If money were absolutely no object, I would make sure that everyone on the planet got enough food to eat! That’s an easy question to answer!
If money was no object–well, first thing I would do is get a housekeeper…well, actually, second thing–first I would get a house! And then I would give a ton of money to Mercy Corps, Compassion International, Wycliff, Modest Needs, etc. And I would take trips back to see my dad in California every month, and visit Korea and China and Japan and New Zealand and every other place I ever wanted to visit–and visit my friends no matter where they lived in the US or outside of the US.
Fun question!
I’d build our dream house, which would be tons of money! Then I guess I’d need to hire some help to clean, landscape, and take care of it. I’d buy every single thing that I thought was cute for my children to wear and they’d be even more well dressed! It would be fun:) I’d also donate tons of money to the causes that I think are good and help our church with whatever they need. I wouldn’t be stingy with my money!
Tabitha’s last blog post..We had a Merry Christmas!
If money is NO value.
I would give to those in need. I would bless others with homes, food, medical care. Just travel around the world locating those in need.
I would spend alot of money in advertising that I have this money to help God’s people so they would be able to find me so I could help them as God intended.
M
I would buy myself and my sister a new house. Actually I would put our homes on a big piece of property we would share and raise our families together. Then I would pitch it to a reality show. I would also travel and dress like the celebrities. And of course I would give to charity because I believe in sharing the wealth.

I love my neighborhood, and my area, but my house is small and my lot is small. So if money were TRULY no object, I would buy the houses and lots next to us, tear them down, landscape beautifully, and expand my house along with completely remodeling it. Hey, you said money isn’t an object…
If money were no object, i would probably sell most of my possessions and travel to try to help wherever I could.

Meredith A.’s last blog post..More food pictures!
I would rent, I mean BUY, a huge RV and travel through all the US with my kids and hubby. Have no time restraints and do some fun stuff in every state.
If money were no object:
I would pay off the mortgage.
Then I would buy 2 more houses and move a couple of friends out of crappy neighborhoods and set them up in peace. I would make sure they never wanted for anything helthwise or otherwise.
Then on to the kiddoes, new cars and homes of their own and bills paid forever, but they must continue their education. And keep working too. Can’t make it too cushy.
And then travel and give to whomever I saw that needed.
Being truly blessed in that way is not of much good when it’s not shared.
I’d open a ‘chain’ of foster homes across the country. They’d be self sustaining after two years. I’m slowly working toward this on my own but with if money was no object??? Oh my.
I would pay my bills, fix my car, add a second story on to my house, stop working full time and do some charity work. And spend lots of time with my kids.

Wow… I would get someone to cook all my family’s meals because I hate to cook. And I would travel the world, and take a lot of college classes just for fun!
