Blake Lively's got babies on the brain!

Just weeks before the actress said "I do" to Ryan Reynolds, she opened up to Allure about her desire to have kids—lots of 'em.

"I've always wanted a big family," she said. "Oh, I'd love 30 [children] if I could."

In the meantime, though, she's perfectly content. "Right now, I'm so peaceful," she explained. "I've never been happier in my life."

And while Blake, 25, and Ryan, 35, recently bought a house in Bedford, N.Y., they won't necessarily stay in one place forever. "I think I'll always flutter all over," the Gossip Girl star said. "I'd like to live in different parts of the world—I'd love to live in Tuscany for a few months."

Traveling the world and having lots of babies with Ryan Reynolds? Blake Lively's living the dream.
