***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.

Antonia K says
29, I’ll be 30 in 2.5mths. EEK, how time flies! I love my age because I have a beautiful 16 mth old daughter and I wouldn’t want to miss a thing! However if I could would love to go back and take a leap of faith on my original career choice.
Maureen says
Age Me!!
I’d say 30, which I turn in 7 weeks. I’m expecting my second baby on my birthday and I can’t wait to meet him. Plus as I get older I find I’m enjoying being more settled down than I was in my 20’s!
Elissa says
Age me! 27–who knew life would be as fun as it is right now…although, whatever age our daughter starts sleeping like a teenager sounds pretty good too :) Thanks for your great blog!
Holly@Country Girl says
AGE ME!!! 26 was a great age…my first baby was born that year. I would love to go back and really soak it all in again…all of it except for the not sleeping part!
Ronica says
AGE ME!!
Leslie says
Age me!
Andrea says
AGE ME!
I think I’d go back to 25. I met my husband then and it was such an amazing time. It was also before we bought our house and, while I love it, I would know to look for something with more space for when we had a baby(our daughter is going to be one soon and our house is getting cramped!).
Ashley says
AGE ME! Life was so simple as a child! I miss playing outside and watching cartoons all day!
kayakgirl73 says
AGE ME! I want to be 30 again. I really enjoyed my early thirties and I wish I could have enjoyed them with my husband so think both of us should be 30 again.
Ann says
Age me! I would love to be 23 again… (of course knowing what I know now.) But 36 is pretty great too!

AGE ME – forward to my mid-forties; I want to know what sports car I’ll be driving, how gray my hair will be, and what things I’ll be regretting the most.

AGE ME! I’m 30, and I would stay right where I am. It seems like every year gets better and better, but I think that has more to do with feeling blessed as opposed to age. :)
Allyn says
AGE ME!
I’m really loving where I am at 26!
Courtney says
AGE ME!! As much as part of me would love to be in my early 20’s again, with all that energy, carefree spunk and way better body,I am really digging my early 30’s. Being in a secure happy relationship and with a new perfect little baby, I wouldn’t change a thing!
Emily says
AGE ME!!! I would be right where I am…a whopping 33!
C Rogers says
AGE ME! I’d love to head back to my first five years of marriage because now that we have a baby. As much as I love my little girl, I know I wouldn’t take for granted all the spare time (and time to sleep) that I had back then! I’d love to take a nice long nap!

I know it sounds trite but I want to stay right where I am – 28. I’m getting married this year, we bought a house last year, my brothers are having kids, everything’s so much fun.
Olivia says
AGE ME! I would love to stay 27! Since my birthday is fast approaching, 28 seems daunting :)
Ashley says
AGE ME…I’d wouldn’t change my age at all (My 26th birthday is Friday!). I wouldn’t want to change anything for fear of changing the good stuff that was unplanned, but happened anyways. Although I loved The Time Traveler’s Wife, such a good story of a positive view of time jumping.
