***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
First off, thanks for all of the birthday wishes everyone. Second, random.org has selected our winner as… Lee (who just turned 31 and is so far happy with it). That’s good news for us too, since we’re both staring down at 31 now. Congrats Lee!
Guess what today is? Sherry’s 30th birthday! And to celebrate, Crate & Barrel is gonna give one of you a Benjamin to spend for every decade that Sherry’s been alive (that’s $300 in case your math skills are in a post-lunch slump). And that’s not the only thing Crate & Barrel is giving away these days. They’re also in the midst of their Pick Your Page sweepstakes where one winner will score all of the items featured in any spread from their new Spring catalog. That could earn you up to $15,000 worth of crate-y, barrel-y goodness! So feel free to pop over there to get in on that giveaway too.

Angie says
Age me!
I would love to be 6 or 8 again. I was so naive & truly didn’t have a care in the world!
Amy H says
AGE ME!
I think I’d stay this age (26) forever if I could.

Carrie says
AGE ME! I would absolutely love to be 6… like Elouise.
Becky says
AGE ME! While I’m liking 29/30 a lot, I wouldn’t mind going back to 26. I just got married and was finally feeling established in my job, but not working crazy hours.
Happy Birthday Sherri!
April Bible says
Age Me!!!
Believe it or not, I am loving 29 (but I’m having a little bit of trouble getting my head around the big 3-0, which happens in two weeks!)
Anna says
AGE ME…this year, 31, has been wonderful. Happily married for one whole year and birth of my baby girl.

Sarah says
Age me!
My mother was 29 for about 8 years anytime someone would ask my mother’s age as a child I always said “29” and I think that sounds like a pretty good age for me too!
Happy Birthday Sherry!
Laura says
AGE ME!! Would it be totally corny if I said I would stay right where I am right now? First house, about to get married, with lots of great people in my life… :-)
Caitlin says
AGE ME
I think I’d try to re-do my awkward teenage years, so I think I’d go back to 13 since that’s when I started high school.
I mean, at the very least I’d hope to catch an embarrassing photo of me wearing my night-braces (what I called my bedtime braces head gear)…because lately I find myself wishing I had a photo of that to remember (and giggle at) how ridiculous I looked! :D
Lindsey says
AGE ME
Happy Birthday, Sherry!
I’m 28 now and loving it BUT I’ve heard from many people that their 30’s are better then their 20’s…we shall see ;).
Skeeter says
AGE ME! I would love to go back to being 25-26. My husband and I spent a year backpacking New Zealand that year, and I miss it so much!
Denise says
AGE ME! My favorite age was 40. My kids were 7, 11, and 15 doing some cool things in school and sports and our life was full of fun and activities. They’re all graduated college and out of our house now, so life is definitely a slower pace! I might be among your older readers based on the ages mentioned! Great blog to read!
Kim says
AGE ME
I’m pretty happy with my current age (28), honestly. But if I had to pick a different one, I think I’d try something in my 30’s. All of my friends say that their 30’s are the best. Happy Birthday!
Shadi says
Age me! Tough question…I’d go back to 22 (knowing what I know now), but 34 isn’t so bad :)
Jill says
AGE ME!!
I would love to be 22 again! I was still in college and didn’t have any real responsibilities like I do now (car payment, mortgage, job etc.). It was honestly the best time of my life :)
Brooke says
AGE ME! 8 sounds good…warm weather days like today were spent riding bikes and in hood and then it was time to come inside and watch classics like the Cosby show!
Stephanie T says
AGE ME…
I think I would want to be 11 again, so I could go to camp in the summer… I love camp!
Melissa says
Age me. 28. The year I got married!
Gretta says
AGE ME!!
Happy Birthday Sherry! Hope your day is full of happiness and Joy.
Kari says
AGE ME!
I would love to be a child again…probably 5 years old(not in school and old enough to be doing stuff on my own)…just be carefree and no responsibilities!
Marisa H says
AGE ME!!! I am super happy at the age I am right now. 27 is great :)
Jamie M. says
AGE ME
30 is allllll gravy Sherry (speaking from my 4 months of experience)! Happy birthday!
Jan Gilsdorf says
AGE ME…I would probably relive the college ages of 18-21. But only if I can keep what I know now!
Erica says
Age Me!
I don’t think I’d be anything other than what I am right now, 26! =)
Kaitlin says
AGE ME!
Angela says
Age me! I’d go back to 15, as long as I could still hold on to all the things I know now. (Happy birthday, Sherry!)
Amanda says
Age me! I just turned 30 and am actually enjoying myself quite a bit. I am way more secure and happy than I was at any other point in my life, so I’m not sure I’d change that. :D
Kristen says
AGE ME!! I would love to relive those college days!
Allie says
AGE ME!
I’m 25 and having a pretty good time, so I’ll stay this age!
quyen says
age me! I really liked the age of 27 for some reason. I was “in the real world” making money, and could enjoy buying things (rather than my broke college days) but didn’t have the big adult responsibilities just yet.
Kelly D says
AGE ME! I would love to be in high school again but with the knowledge I have now. We didn’t have much to worry about besides each other and what we were feeling and it was so much fun. And I would love to fit back into those jeans! Happy Birthday, Sherry!
Scott says
AGE ME!
I’d have to say 24. Not for any specific reason, but it’s the first number that popped out at me.
Emily says
I think it would be fun to be 5 or 6 again. Just big enough to think you’re a “big girl” but still having lots of little kid fun.
Toni Smith says
AGE ME!
You may think I”m crazy, but I love being in my 50’s! I guess if I had to choose another age though, I would go back to 32, the year I had my son, my only child. Happy Birthday Sherry!
Megan S. says
AGE ME! I would love to see what early thirties are like….settling into a family with kids and seeing my friends start theirs :)
Allison says
Age me! I love my age (27). For once I’m not in a hurry to be older. I am embracing that.
Adrienne says
AGE ME! i would love to go back to being 25, which was only 5 years ago. i loved my twenties! here’s to hoping 30s are just as great – happy birthday, sherry!!!
Vicki says
AGE ME!!
I think I’d like to be 18 and try to doing college again.
Amanda says
Age Me–I would love to go back to being 22, right as I was graduating college. I’ve never felt as accomplished as that. Also, that was before the student loans kicked in ;)
Stephanie Kowalski says
AGE ME!
I would go back to my early 20’s…I had a ton of fun, and I don’t feel like real “adulthood” had began yet.
Erin Evans says
AGE ME– I am 28 right now and wouldn’t change a thing! I am loving having 2 young children (3 yrs and 8 months). I love being home with them right now, but since that won’t last much longer, I would like to stay right at this stage of my life:)
Lucia says
Age me! We’re expecting our first kid in a few months so yeah, I’ll stay 30 for a while longer :)
Jackie says
Age Me! I am only 27 but it would be nice to go back in time to high school where I met my husband and relive those fun early days!
