I would go shopping...at all my favorite stores...Red Light, Buffalo Exchange, Platos and any other second hand store. I would take my mom and Shop til will drop at Nordstroms(her favorite store)....I would buy every pair of Toms I could find..because they are my new favorite thing.

I couldnt shop for too long or I would start getting grumpy. I would then go find a grassy field and cop a squat and read my favorite book...Judy Blooms ''Summer Sisters''.....And when the alarm goes off the next morning....I would repeatedly hit ''snooze'' because after a day of doing nothing but what I wanted..coming back into reality would STINK!

I would do whatever the kiddos wanted to do :)
which would probably include a picnic, some games, a trip to the park, skipping nap time, making a fire in the fire pit and eating s'mores til our tummies hurt and snuggling up at dark for a movie.

Actually I would prefer a day with hubby and the kiddo's. We would go to the beach and have every meal there. I would teach my kids how to surf and the slow rolling in waves and how to build awesome sand castles. That night we would have a fire with music and just dance and have a good time.

If I was closer I would take the boys to the beach, but since no beach I would play in the pool all day, eat out wherever they want watch a movie on the screen outside. I actually need to do this before my oldest gets too old to hang out with mom. Next week maybe thanks for the thought

answers from Portland on

Go to a forested park with a huge picnic, a blanket, some good reading and my Audobon field guide. Let Kiddo run around and 'discover' every little thing. Oh, and I might take a skein of yarn to create a 'boundary line'. Otherwise, just chill out, listen to the birds, marvel at every little critter my son brings my way and eat good food.

That said, we are going camping tomorrow for a couple nights. Lots of that will be happening.

What I would love to do, would actually be hard to do with the kiddos with me.
If I could have a day to myself, where I was all alone, and hubby had the kids.
I would go get coffee, collect all my art stuff...
I would go outside, listen to my music, drink my coffee, smoke cigs and draw ALL DAY LONG.
I miss being able to draw, I barely have time to do it these days. It always helps me clear my head.
And I, seriously would do just that all day, it would be amazing.

You will have the kids or won't have the kids?

ETA* OK-with the kids...shopping would be a nightmare for me (with the kids) so I would get them out of the house. Swimming, water park, hike/bike, movies or childrens museum. Have breakfast at home, lunch out then home by dinnertime.

I don't see how this day is different than any other, if you're a SAHM?

answers from Phoenix on

Well, I really don't "have" to do anything on a daily basis!!! I do things when I feel like it. I work from home in the summers so I basically have this option every day! We got summer passes to the local water park so we have been going Mon, Wed and Fri. Its 114 here today so really what else can we do? But on Tues and Thurs we hang out at home and watch movies, play games, some crafts and swim in our own pool. Life can't get much better! (although I am looking forward to them going back to school! LOL!!!
