When the BLUNTmoms writers realized we were about to surpass a million views on this here website you’re currently reading, we all jumped up and down and gave each other big, squishy, celebratory boob hugs. Well, everyone except Anne, our copy editor, who stood on the sidelines with her whip, ready to crack it at the first person to improperly place punctuation outside of quotes.

Once the hugging situation was under control, Magnolia, our beloved editor-in-chief, posed the following question: What would you love to have a million of, and why? (And we agreed no one was allowed to say “dollars.”)

And here’s how the BLUNTmoms answered:
