If you could do any job in the world

for just one day, what would that be?

My nanny and I were chatting over lunch about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I admitted I love too many things, and that I'm doing what I do now just cuz I sorta fell into it. I'd love to be a professional chef, or teach or lots of things.

Then I realized that I'd just die of the thrill if I could prepare for a Royal dinner party. I want to be the person who polishes the palace floor with polishing pads on my hands and knees. Like seriously, I want to measure the table between each fork, water goblet and place setting on the table, and I want to help the Queen with her seating plan and work with the chef on the menu. I would honestly not be able to control the anxiety within me if I ever had an opportunity like that. Cheesy, but true!

MIDWIFE. Deliver babies, work with pregnant women. It's my dream to someday go back to school, get out of banking, and get into what I'd really like to do: Help women cook and deliver healthy babies lol!

I'd love to be a Doula. I don't want the responsibility of being a midwife but I'd love to support women through birth. If I was independently wealthy I'd love to offer my services for free. I loved working as a photographer as well, but it didn't work well with my large family. Doing weddings every weekend was too much time away from the kids.

That said, I really do love my job as a life insurance underwriter. I know it doesn't sound exciting but it provides for my family, allows me to work at home and I feel like I'm helping people who want to protect their family.
