***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….31. I love my age right now!
Kelli@becomingkelli says
AGE ME! I’d have to go with 17 for a wedding do-over(yes, I got married at seventeen, which, shockingly enough, has worked out great). I just didn’t enjoy that special time like I should have.
Carol S. says
AGE ME!! I would go back to 18. You are finishing up high school and getting ready to head off to college. Sounds pretty good to me!
Amber McMullen says

I would like to be 16 again. I loved High School!

I would be 18 again. Definitely the best year of my life (so far)!

AGE ME! I wouldn’t mind being 18 again to re-do my college years with less pressure & more fun!
Jackie says
AGE ME!
I would love to relive my 19th-21st years. Those early college years were SO much fun, and I’d love to relive meeting my husband and falling in love again. ahhhhhh
Sara D says
AGE ME! Sherry, you and I have the same birthday! Yay March 19th! Honestly, I like my age right now (26) so I think I’ll stick with that!
Malissa M says
AGE ME! I’d stay at 31… if I was any younger, I wouldn’t have my 4 sweet kiddos… and if I was any older they wouldn’t be so little! :-)
Erin L Thiele says
AGE ME! – I’d love to be either my 25 year old pre-baby skinny self or my 3 year old self when I don’t remember anything. LOL!
Melissa M. says
I would pick my age right now 33. I still feel young and love this time with my kids.
Anu says
Age me!
would love to be in my early 20’s & stand up more for myself, since it definitely has it’s benefits!
Happy Birthday !!
lisa leyboldt says
AGE ME! to be honest i never thought i’d say 30, but now approaching 33, 30 sounds pretty good! Plus, my husband surprised me with tickets to the Coldplay concert, would love to do THAT again too!
Erin says
AGE ME! I’d love to have the confidence and body I had at age 21, the creativity of age 8 and the life experience I have now :)
Katie says
Age me! I like my age right now…no regrets & loving 36!!
Jean says
Back to 29 – the age I started having my children but I would have the experience and wisdom that I have now in my 40’s.
Summer says
AGE ME! I think I would fast forward time and be 33. That seems like a pretty good, stable, healthy age.
Kristina says
AGE ME!
I’d like to be 25 again. Not too old, not too young. Just right.
Kim says
AGE ME! But not really, I’m enjoying life too much to fast forward or rewind.
Allison says
AGE ME! I’d love to be 10 again – take a few more risks when it didn’t matter so much :)
Rebecca says
AGE ME! I’m pretty happy to be 33!
andria says
AGE ME!
I’d magically be 30 every year until I die. For some reason 32 made me start to feel every day of my age.
Emily says
AGE ME! I’d be 9 again….young enough to be carefree and old enough to be a bookworm and learning new things :) Happy Birthday, Sherry!
Sara says
AGE ME!
I cannot think of another age I would want to be! 26 seems to be an exciting time, with so much to look forward to and not too much forgotten in the past :)
Beth says
AGE ME!
Right back to 2nd grade, when Dad was first teaching me to build things and Mom read us the Chronicles of Narnia at night.
Or, failing that, keep me 29–old enough to have learned from past mistakes and young enough to look forward to making new ones!
Molly C says
AGE ME!
I’m 22 and there’s no where else I’d rather be. What my future holds excites me and I don’t want to fast forward through it. And going backward in time? Who wants to relive high school? Ick.
Lori says
Age me! I’d go back to my college years!
Brianna Hafen says
AGE ME!
As long as it was just a temporary “do-over” I’d be 19 again. I had just moved to Connecticut to nanny, met the best friends, traveled all over New England, and got to spend all my money on whatever I wanted! Fast forward 10 years and I have 2 wonderful children…so I wouldn’t want to leave them too long ;)
Cherie says
AGE ME! Looking forward to 31 so I can finally be finished with grad school and become a real adult :) Oh, and happy bday Sherry!
Ryan says
AGE ME – I would love to be in my early 60s….with the $ to travel and live our life in a custom home that my wife and I have designed, to sit on the porch, or get my hands dirty in the garden or workshop, or just stay in bed all day. That’s “when” I would like to go….
Mary S. says
AGE ME!!! Happy Birthday Sherry! Although I’m not that far removed, I would start my 30s again. I got engaged at 30, married at 31 and baby at 32. I have loved this decade. Or I would go back to my late 20s with the knowledge I have now and not stress so much.
Elizabeth says
AGE ME!
I’d say 31 – enough responsibility but not too much. A good bit of experience but not enough to be jaded. Made a lot of mistakes to learn from but there’s still enough time to create your destiny.
Conkie S says
AGE ME! Keep me right where I am…55….as I am about to become a grandmother anyday!
Megan G says
AGE ME!
I am perfectly happy with being 27 right now. I am exactly where I wanted to be with my husband, baby, and brand new house!
Emily says
AGE ME! I’m actually pretty excited to be 27, because it’s the year I’ll be getting married!
April says
AGE ME!!! I’d love to start at 20 again!
Carol says
Age me!
Kirsten says
AGE ME!
I’d love to be 15 again (a weird one, I know). I’d be less of a brat to my parents and realized how privileged I really was!
Missy says
AGE ME!! I would love to be 19 again!!
Kara says
Age Me! I just turned 22 yesterday and honestly, I love being here and now.
Meegan Littlefield says
AGE ME
I would love to be 21 again, and re-experience the first year of marriage, but do it with the knowledge I have now.
love your blog. Been stalking it for some time.

Karen says
AGE ME!! Not sure which I’d love more, early teens with long summers off to spend and the beach and to young to need a job, or a semi-retired age to enjoy the many places I still need to visit….
Christina says
AGE ME…
I would love to be 10, as well. Man, were those salad days. But the 30s are pretty fly too :)
debra@styledhaven says
AGE ME!!! I’m happy right now in my 30’s!
Karen P says
AGE ME! I’m starting to panic about turning 29 next month!
Amanda says
AGE ME!!!! I would be 18 again. It was so exciting graduating from high school and heading off to college. You choose the path that you wanted to take for the rest of your life. I loved it!
sara says
AGE ME! I think I would want to be 35 again. Perfect age, not too young and not too old.
Yancey@Ysquared Life says
AGE ME!
Hmm…I rarely look back, as I see age as a blessing, but if I had to pick, maybe 29 and plan another 30th birthday party! Woot Woot!
