***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.

Amanda says
AGE ME!!! – I wouldn’t mind moving forward to see what my children will look like all grown up with kids of their own! But, I wouldn’t want to stay that age and miss their young years!
jess hogue says
AGE ME! Back it up to 32… that seemed like a pretty good age.
Mike Grant says
AGE ME
I would like to go back to 14 when all I did was play golf all day with my friends and when if was hot take a swim in the lake.
Marymc says
AGE ME
I think 30 would be pretty awesome.
Andi says
AGE ME
I think I’d be 22 again. That was our first year of marriage and it was AWESOME, so new and exciting! Ten years later it is STILL exciting, just not as new :)
Caroline says
AGE ME! I like my current age of 26!
Britney R. says
Age me!
You know, I really like where I am now.
Jessica G. says
Age me! Can I be cheesy and say that I wouldn’t go back? Every year has had its ups and downs, but everything seems to get better with age, and I’m so content here (at the ripe old age of 31). Happy 30th, Sherry!
mary says
AGE Me! Early thirties rock!
Keisha says
AGE ME!!! I would love to be 29 again. Such a good year. It was the year I got married, and I felt like my whole “real adult life” was ahead of me.
Aryn says
Age me!
30 (what I am right now) is pretty great and 31 (in May) is looking even better, but I would go back to 25 to meet my husband again and do those amazing 5 years over and over and over. It’s been grand.
Ellen says
AGE ME! I would stay 28 (how old I am now) for another year. I started grad school and am getting married this year!
Matthew says
AGE ME! I would go back to the ripe ole’ age of 21!
Neyir says
AGE ME! I would love to be 30 again because that was such a fun time in our lives but I wouldn’t trade my son for that time, maybe if I could bring him and a full time nanny with me…
Torri Miller says
Age me…I would be 21 again. Still in college but able to get into places:)
Amanda says
Age me
20 but only with the knowledge I have now so I could make some important decisions.
Christina says
AGE ME!! I am actually loving where I am. Twenty-five, married to the love of my life, just finished school and expecting our first child in about eight weeks. Life is too good to want to leave it!
Dana says
Age me…I love my age – just take away the work!
Beth says
AGE ME! I love the age I am now – 32. On another note, I wouldn’t take any amount of money to relive my teen years….
Kerri says
“AGE ME”
I’d love to be 19 again and relive most of college. Just old enough to get past the first year craziness and lots of fun left to be had… and maybe a few “mistakes” to correct.
Deanna says
AGE ME!! I’d definitely pick to be 5 again. I’m currently spending the week with my little cousins and the youngest is 5. She’s so creative and funny! I want to play with Barbies and draw all day too!
partyofsix says
Age Me!
I’d be 29 again living back in the Serengeti studying lions for my dissertation–but can I bring my kids (who wouldn’t have been born yet) and my husband? I’d love to show them that mom was cool once….:-)
Jenn Murphy says
Age Me!
I’m 25 and in the best place. I have two little kids and this time of our lives is absolutely amazing!
Ellen says
AGE ME
Back to 30 – I was a relative newly wed (having married at 27) and a new mom (at 29).
Kara says
AGE ME! I would love to go back to the elementary middle school years, where you got to play outside with friends and spend the summers at the pool!
Tamar says
AGE ME! I’d like to go back to 19… no great reason why, though I love prime numbers!
Jesamy says
AGE ME! I would be 33. I swear that is the last age I remember being, then I woke up and I was 40!!!!
Diane says
AGE ME…..
– first of all, Happy 30th Sherry! I’m a 50 something person so 30 sounds really YOUNG to me, lol.
What age would I want to be again? I would go back to being 26, when I had my son Jonathan. The reason for this? Sad reason really – almost 3 weeks ago, On March 1st, my now 24 year old miracle boy was taken from us when his apartment caught fire. I am so broken right now and missing him so very much (tears falling as I type this). Sorry to be a downer, I appologize….it’s been a difficult 3 weeks for me. And I am catching up on YHL posts and I knew the answer to this question. I would love to have him as a baby all over again!
Treasure every moment with Clara – you never know what life brings us. My son lived a purposeful life, I am a proud mom and always will be.
Much love on your birthday, Sherry!
Diane
Karen says
Age me! I would go back to being 21 as a senior in college with the best roommates in the world:)
Miki says
AGE ME! I wouldn’t trade my age. Love where I am right now, but maybe I’d trade my body with my 19 year old self!
Margaret W. says
AGE ME! I would love to be 24 again, the age I was when I got married. Life was stretched out before us, and the adventures began. We’ve been married more than 32 years now, have six children, and 4 grandchildren, and life is still wonderful.
dhivya a says
AGE ME!
I’d choose 19 or 20 – the years of undergraduate school -with no worries at all.
Leah Richardson says
Age Me!
I wish I could jump ahead from 23 to 30. Right now I am working full time, still going to college, and trying to do the whole housewife taking care of the home thing. I just wish I could be 30, be done with school, and started on a career.
Sarah says
AGE ME!! 34…not too far back, but a couple of key years…
Kate says
AGE ME! I like the age I am – not that everything’s been perfect, but anything I might change in starting over from anywhere could change who I am, who my friends are, who my kids are, who my grandkids are – all that good stuff. And going forward I’d miss living today. Not that I wouldn’t like to be an “eye in the sky” from time to time, but for now, I’ll keep “going like sixty.”
beth says
AGE ME! I’d love to be 6 years old again!
Molly says
AGE ME! I would be 14 again. It’s an awkward age, but my family and I lived abroad then and it was fabulous.
Katie says
Age me!! I would love to be 18 again but with the insite of the world that I have today!
Emily says
AGE ME! 30 has been pretty good to me especially with our first little one on the way. Can’t wait!
Pam says
AGE ME – I’d go back to 25.
Jessica F. says
AGE ME!
I would like to be 5 again. Have the world at your finger tips and not a single care other then where your Barbie is hiding.
Christina says
AGE ME! Take me back to 25!!! Out of college, new job, newly married and in a new city!!!
Nami says
AGE ME!!!
I’d love to re-live my childhood from 3 thru 11 again if I could! I had so much fun growing up with my family!

AGE ME….I would love to relive my early 20’s…just for a week or so….no kids…all “me time”….ahhhhh! I didnt realize how good it was!

Jenna says
AGE ME!… I love being 25, my life is just getting started with my wonderful husband and two babies!
B Mom says
AGE ME… man, this is hard… i can’t think of any age I’d rather be than where I’m at right now! guess I wouldn’t mind spending the day with my little kid kindergartner self – she could come hang for a while : )
Helen says
AGE ME! I think I would be 28. That seems like a good, even age.

AGE ME! I am absolutely loving my late 20s right now! I would relive them any day!
Virginia says
AGE ME!
I would go back to 23, which is the year I was SUPPOSED to meet my husband (our family kept trying to set us up but it didn’t finally happen until I was 25)… and make it happen so I could have that much more time with him!!
