***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.
- PRIZE: A $300 gift card to Crate & Barrel
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “AGE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … if you could pick your age, what would you magically like to return to (or travel to the future for)? Would you love to be 11 again? Or would you give anything to relive your early 20s? Maybe you just can’t wait to settle into a relaxing retired life in your 60s or 70s?

AGE ME!!! i would love to be 25 again and again and again!
Heather says
age me… 31 please. I am 29 now and dread turning 30 so I’d like to just fast forward to 31 so that it is not such a big deal. I don’t know why 30 scares me, but it does – I haven’t told anyone!
Crystal C says
AGE ME!
I loved telling people that I was 25. There’s just something about that number that felt right. Twenty-six isn’t so bad either though.
Heather says
AGE ME! I would redo collage and change my major and boyfriend!
Nora says
AGE ME!! I am loving being in my 40’s. I find as I get older, I get better!! Plus, I look 27! Life is good!!
Kim says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHERRY! I hope your next 30 years are as fabulous as your first 30 were. I also hope that you’re totally over the flu and were able to squeeze in some time for fun on your special day. :)
Alissa says
AGE ME!
I’d go back to 23 before life got too complicated
Shaunda harris says
Age me! I am going to be 30 in September and I am so excited. There is no other age that I would want to be. I feel so content where I am right now. I’m happily married and I have two beautiful boys.

AGE ME!!!
Rebekah says
Age Me! Hmmm…28 is pretty good, but I do have days when I wish I was a child again, maybe age 8…those days were so care free. :)
JT says
Age me! Though I am enjoying 30 (welcome to the club, sherry) I think I’d like a redo of 29. A second chance at our baby moon in Paris? Yes, please!
Brienn says
AGE ME!
I would love to be able to “see” myself when I was in elementary school. SInce I teach 2nd grade, I have a thought of “which” student I was, but would love to watch myself with the eyes I have now!
Reane says
AGE ME….I’d stay where I’m at, 34. While I’d be tempted to go back and re-do some years (starting around 19)… it would change my future. I have an awesome husband, great kids and a career that provides well for my family. Although I’ve had some hard times, overall life has treated me well. I cherish what I have.
Natasha says
AGE ME!!! I’d like to go back to 13.. I miss school and my friends.
Chrissy says
AGE ME! I’m pretty happy in my mid-20’s, but I guess if I was going to go back in time, 7 was a pretty good year. To be young(er) and carefree! :-)
Kate V says
AGE ME..I wouldn’t change at all. I’m enjoying my early thirties…you will too Sherry!
Melissa says
AGE ME!! I would like to be 30 again. That was a great age. Happy Birthday Sherry!

Age me! I think I would stay right at my age now, 29. I feel like I have a bit of a handle on things but they aren’t old hat yet, haha.
Jennifer says
AGE ME! I would have a hard time choosing an age to return to… could not imagine really living without my three babies! so I guess that puts me at a ripe old 38!!!
Jodene Scharnhorst says
Age me . . . 40! (7 yrs to go)
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
AGE ME!!!
If I could go back to any age I think it would probably be 20. A lot of great stuff happened to me during that year and I don’t feel like I fully appreciated them!
Kristen says
AGE ME!!
I’d go back to being 7. You are still free and completely unaware of all the bad in the world, but able to make great decisions and no matter what you wear, you 100% cute and confident in who you are!
Lindsay says
Age me!
16, 23 Both would be great
Elizabeth says
“AGE ME”
I’m 24… I might skip my preliminary exam and jump straight to 26, but am generally really happy being 24!
Lee says
Age me! I just hope that at every age, I continue to want to only be that very age.
Baking Serendipity says
Age me! I love being 26. But if I could live one perfect year again, it would be my freshman year of college.
Jan C. says
AGE ME! I’d like to relive the moment each of my kids was placed into my arms. Best feeling ever.
Happy birthday, by the way.
P.S.: Point of interest–my first job out of college was at the DAP plant in Dayton, Ohio. I was hired to set up a reference library for the chemists there. Had no idea what I was doing, but that’s another story.
Julie B says
AGE ME!!! I’d be 18 again!

AGE ME! I would stay right where I am, 23!
Jen C. says
Age me! I’d be 22 again because that’s when I first started dating my husband. It would be fun to go back to that time of new & exciting getting to know you. It was also a time of less responsibility! Happy birthday Sherry!
