apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Please randomly select me!!

holy cow. i have a 7 week old and boy could i use that belly oil. ;)

This would be perfect surprise for my SIL who is 6 months pregnant on bedrest!

When I was 5, I think I wanted to grow up to be Marie of Donnie & Marie.

I love the packaging, design etc...would love to try it!

Love it!

when i was 5 years old...all i wanted to be was a mommy...so i would carry my dolls around and feed them and dress them, so now that I am 5 months preganent, it is finally comming true :)

i wanted to be a pilot

my five-year-old self...I believe I wanted to be an actress, or a dancer, or a waitress. I swip-swapped between the three.

oh my that looks like the perfect gift to an expecting friend.

I think i wanted to be a teacher at 5 years old, but i don't really remember. i would love this gift for an almost due to give birth friend of mine.

Much like nadnuk, I went back and forth between an actress, a dancer, and a flight attendant (like a waitress but with travel perks!).

How cute is that!

I have been meaning to order some of the baby butter to try!

When I was five I just wanted to to whatever my older brother was doing. And a ballerina too.

I wanted to be a race car driver.

i wanted to be a teacher.

I think I just wanted to be like my big sister. And she wanted to be a ballerina, so I thought that was good choice too.

I wanted to own an ice cream parlor.

hmmmm...when I was 5 (and my sister was about 6 months) I told my mom that she should have 1000 babies, and that we could each take care of 500! There's nothing like the dreams of kids...(good thing she didn't listen to me!)

A fashion model. I know, it's funny now, but all of my mom's high heels were pretty fun to dress up in =)

I wanted to be a dancer, or a vet, or an artist. The last one stuck.

I wanted to be an astronaut. That one didn't pan out, though.

Cheerleader all the way.

I'd love to win this!
When I was 5, I wanted to be a teacher, and I actually am one now (after many collegiate detours).

When I was 5 I wanted to be a teacher :)

I wanted to be a doctor

a worm. a few years ago i found, in my 5-year old handwriting, a statement that read: "when I grow up I want to be a worm." my wishes were never granted.

Would love to win this!
When I was 5, I told my parents I wanted "to be a Daddy" (I'm a girl!). My dad was great -- he was big and strong and read to my sister and I every night, he was funny and had a great wife. Who wouldn't want to be like him?

A Mommy!

I would love to have this prize!

I wanted to be a Vet. Then I realized some pets were really sick and would die and I had to come up with a new plan!

I wanted to be a cat. Or raggedy Ann. No wait, those little mice all dressed up in Beatrix Potter books. I think I changed my mind a lot.

OH I have a friend with a brand new baby who would love that!

When I was 5 I wanted to grow up to be Pocahontas, I loved her long silky black hair... i'm a red head with natural crazy curls! (Which I love now ;))

When I was 5, I wanted to be Yvonne Elliman from Jesus Christ Superstar. Mary Magdalene. Sick but true.

When I was 5, I wanted to be a lawyer. Now that I actually am a lawyer, I have no idea why the childhood me thought it would be a so fun!

Thats easy.. because I still want to be it..

I wanted to be a fairy princess with a green pony that helped all the little animals in need. Aka a Vet. :)
(I still want a green pony...)

i wanted to be Barbie or a teacher!

Oh gosh, I wanted to be a flight attendant b/c I thought they were all so beautiful and helpful or GEM! Haha!

this looks so beautiful! thanks!

I wanted to be a "baby doctor" aka a pediatrican!

Oh being 5 was a very fun time in my life! Kindergarten opened up many new vistas for me. One thing that remained the same though was me wanting to be a large animal veterinarian!

When I was 5 I wanted to be a nurse. I still think it would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm pretty sure that from age 5 to about 8 I wanted to be BatGirl. My mom made a costume for me and i pretty much wore it all the time...

I may have been a little older than 5, but for a long time I really wanted to be Miss America when I grew up.

I wanted to be famous!

the first female president or the next Mozart

Doctor and fashion designer

A nun. What can I say, I was an unusual child...

I wanted to be an artist or a mom.

a mommy and a nurse... both of which I am today!

When I was 5 I wanted to be a preschool teacher like my mommy. Ha! Now I realize just how special my mom was, I don't think I'd have the patience to deal with 15 5 year olds!

pick me! i'm almost into my third trimester and in the middle of a dry minnesota winter! could totally use that:)

This would be wonderful!!!

I wanted to be a vet=). Great giveaway

I'm pretty sure I wanted to be a princess, but one that does the rescuing not the needing to be rescued. The stories I wrote at that age (transcribed by my mother) generally reflect that.

A doc.

My five year old self wanted to be a doctor...Pediatrician to be exact! And being a stay at home Mom now, I get to pretend that I am from time to time! Thanks for the great giveaway!

If you really want to know I wanted to be a ROCK STAR! I couldn't figure out how to move to Hollywood to pursue my dream(I was 8 years old)! My poor mom..

I was fascinated by Jacques Cousteau and wanted to be a marine biologist. I also wanted to marry Snoopy.

I wanted to be a dancer.

I wanted to be a veterinarian. I didn't realize you'd have to do things like give shots, take blood, cut animals open... I just loved animals.

I wanted to be a pilot. oh, and a detective.

I wanted to play baseball for the Cleveland Indians!

A fashion designer!

I wanted to be a veterinarian. My adult self is allergic to cats and dogs!

I wanted a job where I could play with puppies all the time!

when i was 5, i wanted to grow up and be punky brewster. hah, nothing has changed.

5 huh? Umm, I think it was either a teacher or a veterinarian. (I'm neither, by the way).

It's really funny to think now, but I wanted to be a nun. I thought my aunt was one.

Pick me!

I wanted to be a teacher (and I am)! I am also 5 months pregnant with my first and would love this gift.

When I was 5, I wanted to be an artist. I thought I had talent since my Grandparents oohed and ahhed (and prominently displayed) all of my artwork. :)

I think that when I was 5 I would have said the generic answer many 5 year olds give which is a teacher. Not that being a teacher is generic.

I would love this! When I was 5, I wanted to be a teacher. I played school all the time and even organized field trips to the firehouse down the street.

I wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake!

I think I wanted to be a mommy to all my baby dolls.

lovely

I'm pretty sure I wanted to be a bunny veterinarian.

Yes, specifically for bunnies.

I can't remember what I wanted to be when I was 5 but when I was a bit older I wanted to be an astronaut.

When I was 5 I wanted to be a vet, or maybe just have lots of animals.

In first grade I wanted to be a painter. . . but quickly realized I simply liked the image of myself in a white smock with an easel in warehouse space. Didn't actually like painting.

I wanted to be a ballerina

Gosh, that's a cool-looking grape toy.

My 5 year old self wanted to be an artist. She's still in there!

A Cashier.....I thought you got to keep the money.

A nun (and I'm not Catholic!)

yay!

When I was 5 I wanted to be a princess.

to be five again....I wanted to be either a teacher (i was a mega bossy older sister and thought the power of being in charge of a classroom was as good as it could get) or a superhero (super powers and saving the world occassionally won out in my fantasy life over bossy-dom) :)....oh the memories :)....oh, and i was madly in love with the teenage mutant ninja turtles and the thundercats...yeah i said it :)

My big sister is 6 months along with her first baby! This would make an excellent gift!

I wanted to live in a dollhouse. Or be a pilot.

I was "Goldilocks" in our dance recital and just knew I would be a famous ballerina when I grew up.

I'm going to be an aunt in 3 months, my sister-in-law would love this.

I wanted to be a famous singer

I was going to be a Prima Ballerina. (It was the Nutcracker that did me in.) It was a wonderful dream, and I'm glad that I didn't find out that I was completely unsuited to classic ballet until after I decided I was going to be a lawyer, (or president, or teacher, or marine biologist).

Have a beautiful day,
Lesley
