***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.

Ann Scott says
AGE ME! I would like to be 32 again, the age I was when my first child was born. Would love to relive those years, and really slow down and enjoy them again!
Suzann says
AGE ME!
I’d stay at 33, my kids are at fantastic ages now, life is so fun!
Kristin Staley says
AGE ME!
I’d love to go back to the 18-22 college time, just relive those years and experience the joy and freedom that came with them.
But I’m loving 28 and the life of a mother of a toddler, too. Wouldn’t trade that for the world.
mandy says
Age me. I’d re-do the career path choice stage…
Corynn says
AGE ME! I would go back to 24 when I met my husband of twenty years. It took us two more years after we met to actually get together. I would go back and savor those two years – otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing :)
Tara says
AGE ME!
I’m 26 and I can’t think of a time when I was enjoying life more! Ok, maybe when I was 7 and got to dress up as Laura Ingalls for Halloween.
Miranda says
AGE ME! Happy Birthday Sherry! I think
my current age of the 32 is turning out to be pretty sweet
Ashley says
AGE ME!
I’d love to go forward a few months….. home inspection done, purchase and sale signed, closing over, and enjoying the summer breeze from the cape cod canal from my new house!!!
Though….back a few months to before Christmas….or to Oct 10th 2010 to take more photos with my now passed grandmother would be a blessing…….
no particular age…minus the grandmother passing, life is looking amazing from here on out! :)
Aknapoli says
Age me!!!

Danielle says
AGE ME!
I’d probably stay the age I am now because I’m the happiest I’ve ever been!
Mary Ellen says
Hi Sherry,
Many Happy Bday wishes-Hope you are the queen of the house for the day.
AGE ME: Back to 18, with all of those important early decisions ahead of me that have shaped my life today. What would it be like to have the knowledge of a 41 year old at 18 :)
You are the best and I love your blog. I recently discovered your bff Katie and she is great but you are still better, dont tell her I said that :)
Stephanie says
AGE ME…I like being 31, but if I could go back and teach my 18 year old self what I know now then I wouldn’t mind going back.

AGE ME!! Happy Birthday Sherry, and many, many more.
I loved being 17, I have some really happy memories from that year.
Kathleen says
AGE ME – I’d go back to being 20 when I met my husband in college and there was that excitement of discovering everything about each other. We stayed up all night for months talking, sitting on the shared back porch of the duplex that we lived in (he lived on one side, I lived on the other). We’re still together 13 years later and have two great kids, so while I’d like to go back for a little while, I’d miss the here and now to be gone for long. Happy Birthday, Sherry!

AGE ME! I would go back to 29 or maybe just early 30s. Have a great birthday, Sherry!

AGE ME back to 19 please! Everyone always says it’s nothing special but I just had the best year! I’d love to do it all over again!
Nicole S. says
AGE ME!
I’m looking forward to 30 in just over a year, because my plan is to hit it kicking as much ass as possible!
Christine says
AGE ME … enjoying my current age of 33, but feel like I learn so much each year so I imagine 43 will be pretty great too!
Erika says
AGE ME
I’ll go with 3. Everything was so simple.
Elizabeth says
AGE ME!!! I think I would go back to 28. We were married and pre-kids and I would choose to travel a lot more.
Lauren says
AGE ME
I can’t wait to be 35. I’ll regret that one day, I’m sure. But for now, I want to be older and settled.

AGE ME
I would love to be a kid again, when everything in life was so magical & new. I would love to be 4- when you can just draw and play all the time.
Jenny A. says
Age me! My birthday is this Thursday and I’m turning 39. I’m okay with that. I didn’t dig my twenties at all and my thirties have been the best decade of my life, so far, so really I’m just looking forward to the journey as it comes.
Jeannette C. says
AGE ME! I would go back to age 20- it was a great year!

AGE ME
I’d go back to my early 20’s – college was easier then real life in so many ways!
Bethany says
AGE ME, I don’t wanna go back in time for sure, I’ve come too far. And I don’t think I wanna go forward b/c who knows what lies in the future. So I just wanna be 32, now!
LM says
Age Me!
I want to be 18 again but only if I know what I know now. :)

I’d like to fast forward a year–I’d be done with grad school, getting married, and the fiance would be home from Afghanistan.

Age Me! I would love to be 23 again – still naive and innocent – so tons of fun – but also on the cusp of learning all about yourself.
T.D. says
AGE ME- I would like to keep turning 25.
