***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.

AGE ME!
I think 30 might do it for me. It was a good year!
Happy Birthday $herdog.
Ashlee says
AGE ME! Happy birthday, Sherry!
Twenty-two and 16 were my two favorite years so far, but I’m pretty pleased with where things are at 28. I can’t pick a year I’d go back to, and I’d hate to fast-forward and skip part of the journey (or ruin any surprises!).
However, I’d definitely NOT want to return to 24. As a newlywed, seeing your husband leave on a 15-month deployment to Iraq and having to adjust to a whole new routine while pretending you’re not ridiculously stressed 24/7? Definitely not my favorite year. I was glad to see that one come to a close — especially uneventfully so!
Emiles says
AGE ME! I think I’d go with 30s…even though I’m not there yet. I’d just like to be through the whole “beginning of your career” stage.
Robin O says
AGE ME
Happy birthday Sherry! Hope you celebrate the big 3-0 in style!
I turned 31 a couple of months ago and although it still kinda shocks me when I see that in print, I don’t think I’d want to be any other age. Every age comes with its pros and cons and I love the life I have now!
Denise says
AGE ME – I would only go back 2.5 years to 24. It was a good year for me.
Lindsay says
AGE ME!!
I’d stay 26 like I am now forever. It feels good. But I’d like to also be six years old when it was easier to make friends…it is hard making adult friends.
Suzanne says
AGE ME!
I’m 42 and would hate to go back to the days of insecurity and lack of confidence!
Angela says
AGE ME!
molly says
AGE ME!
I think I would go back to 21. Still in college and having fun, and young enough that I didnt have to be too responsible.
Happy Bday Sherry!
bdaiss says
Age me! I’m afraid I don’t want to pick. Every age so far has had something wonderful about it. While I’d love to be younger again, I’d miss my kiddos so much I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.
Happy Birthday Sherry!
Brei says
AGE ME! I’m 29 and loving life with my family…. but my 22 was a fun & carefree year!
Sarah says
AGE ME
I wouldn’t mind trying college again and actually study abroad… not just attend the informational meetings each semester. haha

AGE ME! I’d go back to 25 – relive the marriage proposal, wedding planning, and celebration!

Andrea says
AGE ME!
I’d love to be 21 again and relive my college years with what I know now.
PS– Happy birthday, Sherry!!
Kim Mc. says
AGE ME
I think I’d go back to 17 when I registered for college and declare the right major instead of suffering through what I thought I wanted for the entire first fall semester and then switching majors. I would’ve saved myself 2 summers of summer school!
Carrie says
AGE ME! I love where I’m at at! 30 with 3 kids and 1 on the way! Life is great!
Laura says
Please Age Me!
Christine H says

Gwen says
AGE ME!
I’d be 28 again…
jessica b says
AGE ME – I’m perfectly happy at 30. :)
Shelby says
AGE ME!Make me 20 again. I’d just started dating my now husband. I was thin and could run and run. I lived my tiny but well loved efficency apartment next to the park in the place where my heart will always be-Auburn, AL. I also had just started by Building Science/Construction management classes and was in love with learning. Oh please make me 20 again!
Tiffany says
AGE ME!
Sherry says
AGE ME! – I’d love to relive the first few years with my husband, so let’s say 26-30.
Teresa S. says
AGE ME!
I actually love my age right now -44! My high school students would always ask me if I wanted to be a teenager again and I would reply “not in a million years.” I am happy where I am right now, and wouldn’t change it for anything.
Abby says
Age Me!
Happy dirty thirty Sherry!
I want to be in my early twenties again. I am 32 and starting to feel old!
Ariel says
Age me
It might be fun to be married but childless again, age 20. But my marriage is so much better now at 29, though we have much less alone time.
Katharine says
Age me!
I’d go back to that summer I was 16(2002) and really soak up that time with my two cousin/best friends. They both passed away in 2010 and I treasure the memories of lazy summer time together.
Dina says
AGE ME!
This is going to sound corny – but I’d pick 33… Right where I am! I’m so happy right now that I would like to stay and enjoy this year a whole lot longer!
(Happy Birthday Sherry!)
Mary Beth says
AGE ME!
I am actually loving my current age/season, so I’d stick right where I am! :)
Sara says
Age me!
27 was pretty great!
Jess C says
AGE ME!
I would love to be 19 again. This was the age that I was still swimming competitively (and in shape) and it was also the age I met my love! :)
Heidi @ Sweet Birdie's Nest says
Age me! I’d love to be 26 again – that was the year I got married and we traveled and bought a house and had so much fun. Every year since has been awesome, but I’d love to relive the bliss of my 26th year.
Lauren says
Age Me! I would stick to my current age – 30! While I have some great memories in my past and what I’m sure will be wonderful memories yet to be made, I like to stick to the mantra that I would always prefer to be right where I am.
Lisa says
AGE ME
I would love to stay at 33. Each and every day has been a blessing!
Meg says
Age Me!
I’d LOVE to be 18 again, and starting college. It was such a wonderful time-and I met my husband soon after.
Mary Barnstead says
Age me (please!)
I am nearing 44 and think this age is pretty dandy, but things were certainly a bit easier in my early 30’s. At that point, I had some respect and responsibility at work, was done with school and graduate school, had a nice little old house to work on with my love (now my husband). We did all our own DIY then and we really enjoyed it. Now with demanding careers and a six-year-old daughter and other responsibility, we are having to hire more professional people to do work we would rather do ourselves and it stings a bit.
Life is good, but those bygone days seem really sweet now!
Happy Birthday, Sherry
Breanna says
AGE ME!
I would love to be 21 again!
Kelly says
AGE ME … I’d have to say 14 or 15. Those years were fun.
Katie says
“AGE ME”…..I would like to be 18 again and redo some things…..but the age I’m at now is good too!
Josie says
AGE ME-I would love to 22 again and live in Vienna for three months!
Leslie says
Age me! I’d fast forward 10 years and see what my life will be like. I bet seeing my kids starting their teen years would help me appreciate their toddler ones better.
Katie Adler says
AGE ME
I’m absolutely loving 25. I want to be 25 forever.
Stephanie N says
AGE ME
I would love to be 22 again! Old enough to be on my own but with less responsibility.
Kristen says
AGE ME!
I don’t think I’d want to go back. I’m 28 and life is pretty good :)
