/ August 17, 2012I would love to take home a Washington cutting board! We are currently living in Missouri, but we call Wahington home. In the next three years we home to move back and enjoy the beauty and great weather Washington has to offer.
Leila Waddell
/ August 17, 2012Hi, I dont think I would be able to leave in Texas, too hot!!
Rebecca
/ August 17, 2012The state I would least like to live in is Alaska. While there is a ton of adventure waiting there, I don’t think I would handle the long winter nights well.
kevinmlutkowski
/ August 17, 2012I’d least like to live in Alaska because it seems sooo cold!
Laura
/ August 17, 2012I would not want to ever live in New Jersey! I already lived there 5 years, in the mid-late 70′s.
Karyl
/ August 17, 2012Wow! I’d love a cutting board the shape of Alaska or Washington! How cool.
I think Oklahoma would have to be my least favorite state….so dry and so far from mountains and oceans.
brynne
/ August 17, 2012I’d love a virginia cutting board. And I’d least like to live in the deep south–Alabama or Mississippi.
Brandy
/ August 17, 2012Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway! I’d least like to live in any state that isn’t Texas
Jennifer S
/ August 17, 2012These are adorable. I’d love a Georgia one! I’d least like to live in New Jersey. I’ll the reality shows scare me!
Kate
/ August 17, 2012I’m also from MN and this would be the PERFECT Christmas gift! Thanks!
Shavonda
/ August 17, 2012I would love to have a California cutting board. The state I would least like to live in (ever again) is North Dakota. Once is way more than enough for me. Happy Friday.
Sydney Whittall
/ August 17, 2012I would love to live in Georgia, just so I could hear that lovely southern accent every day.
Kate
/ August 17, 2012I don’t know if I can pick a state I’d least like to live in…I’ve only lived in WI. But I can’t imaging living somewhere where you don’t have all the seasons! As hard as the long winter can be- I think it makes me appreciate the changes so much more!
Sam G
/ August 17, 2012I love these. I think Illinois winters are bad enough, so I’d least like to live in Alaska.
Karyl
/ August 17, 2012How funny that Alaska is my most favorite states but a few people already have picked it as their least…after living in Minnesota for 7 years, winters in Anchorage were positively balmy! The long nights didn’t bother me much, and the glorious summers tend to make up for them. We’re in Seattle now and I miss having moose hanging out in our yard, the northern lights, the amazing food, and the adventure that Alaska offers. We’d move back in a heartbeat!
lana
/ August 17, 2012this is so cool! I’d love a pennsylvania cutting board! Least favorite? NJ – property taxes are too high…
Erin Eberwein
/ August 17, 2012Any state that’s not Ohio! OH-!
Ashley
/ August 17, 2012IO!
Cara
/ August 17, 2012Though it looks beautiful, i think the cold and long nights in Alaska would be too much for me!

/ August 17, 2012i love these cutting boards. I would least like to live in Florida because of the weather!!!!
tiffany
/ August 17, 2012I’d love a Texas cutting board (where my husband and I met and married). State I would least like to live in – Alaska. Although I assume it’s beyond beautiful, the winters are too long and cold.
Sarah E.
/ August 17, 2012I live in NY, so I am partial to it but I grew up in PA. Sometimes I dream about going to live in PA to be closer to my family. We’re not that far apart, but just enough to make me miss them!
whitney
/ August 17, 2012I would love a Tennessee cutting board! I’d least like to live in New Jersey!
Carrie Waller
/ August 17, 2012Love this!!! We’re military I’d have a hard time deciding which state to choose if I won. I don’t think I’d want to live in any state where it rains all the time, I need my sunshine:)
Lindsay
/ August 17, 2012Anywhere where there are multiple snowstorms a year! I made the move from NJ to CA 10 years ago and don’t miss winter’s icy roads one bit!
spiteorflight
/ August 17, 2012These are my go-to gifts for wedding presents — especially for destination weddings. My cousin just got married in France, so I’d love to win one for her American reception this fall!! But I’m also totally selfish, and have been debating buying a Maryland for myself, haha.
Maggie G
/ August 17, 2012Those are SO cute!! Gosh, while I looove to visit Hawaii, I’m not sure I could live there. Too far away from family, and too expensive!
Thanks for the chance to win, these are awesome!
Meg
/ August 17, 2012Aww, that MN cutting board is too cool! I would least like to live in…. ND, or some equally flat state…. I can’t handle the flatness as far as the eye can see.
Christina
/ August 17, 2012I love these boards! I would least like to live in the midwest, too far from our family!
Nem
/ August 17, 2012Alaska, It’s too cold! And I’m not a fan of the lack of sunshine in the winter and abundance of it in the summer.
Thanks for the give away!
Ashley
/ August 17, 2012I don’t think I would like to live in Florida…. old people and mosquitos everywhere!
But Disney World is cool.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jess
/ August 17, 2012These are too cool! I’d love a Wisconsin one…and would least like to live in Alaska, too cold!
Angie T
/ August 17, 2012I don’t think I would like to live in Maine … only because it is SO out of the way. It is beautiful, but the travel required for my job would be more expensive and cumbersome from way up (and over) there!
Elizabeth G.
/ August 17, 2012Great giveaway!
I would have a problem living in any state that’s too cold in winter.
tjbedsaul
/ August 17, 2012I would love a ND or NC board! I would least like to live in New Jersey.

Jules @ Happy Happy Home
/ August 17, 2012I would take home an Iowa one, or Colordao or Arizona or Maine. All states have meaning to our family. I would never live in the deep south states like Alabama or even Mississipi. Just not my bag, baby.
Dawn
/ August 17, 2012Cute cutting boards. Christmas idea for someone! I would never live in Texas. Ever.
Leslie
/ August 17, 2012I don’t really have a specific state that I wouldn’t want to live in, but I do know that I REALLY don’t want to live where there’s lots of people. Big cities are just not for me. I’m pretty happy here in Nebraska, and I’d love to send one of these to my Brother out in Maryland as a Christmas gift that could double as wall decor.
Bethany
/ August 17, 2012I’d least like to live in Hawaii. An ocean away from family is far too far. Alaska would be bad too.
Kylie
/ August 17, 2012Awesome. I call Wisco home now, but I’d love a Wyoming cutting board.I couldn’t live in a lot of the Southern states.. too many Republicans
Jessica W.
/ August 17, 2012Oh. Em. Gee. I NEED the Texas one! I’m a Texan living in TN and missing my home state oh-so badly!
Hmm… I would say I’d hate to live in Louisiana. Not sure why.
Shannon
/ August 17, 2012I would love to live in California! I grew up there but have been skipping around the East Coast. I am sick of the snow in the winter and the humidity in the summer. California dreaming…
Catrina
/ August 17, 2012I would love a California cutting board these are too cute! I would probably least like to live in Florida, I really dislike humidity and huge bugs, snakes, and gators are terrifying!
mama @ ourtinyplace.blogspot.com
/ August 17, 2012Alaska! I know it is beautiful but it is too far from my family and everything I love!!
Kari
/ August 17, 2012Hmmmm….I think I would least like to live in Alaska. Although I would love to visit there.
Whitney Moberg
/ August 17, 2012I don’t think I would like to live in Nebraska… I grew up in Maine close to the water and live in Boston now so I can’t imagine being that far from the ocean! Thanks for the giveaway! These cutting boards are so cute!
Dory
/ August 17, 2012I don’t think I’d ever want to live in Massachusetts…I’m a midwest girl.
Alla
/ August 17, 2012These are so cute. I would love to take home a California cutting board. I don’t think I could make it through a really cold winter or a really humid summer.
Carly
/ August 17, 2012I wouldn’t want to live in Alaska– too cold and too far from everything!
Liz Ann
/ August 17, 2012I’d want to the South Carolina board! How cool. The state I’d least like to live in is Nebraska. I don’t really know why…it just seems bare to me
Brandy
/ August 17, 2012I would least like to live in Texas. This northern California girl lived there for a year and grew to appreciate the phrase “dry-hot Sacramento summers” after spending two summers in the Texas humidity. I’ll take a 110 degree Sacramento summer any day.
Jessica P.
/ August 17, 2012Texas! Too hot! As far as which board I’d pick, I’m torn b/t my home state of Montana and my current state of Idaho!
Hannah
/ August 17, 2012I wouldn’t want to live in Texas – dry and hot hot dry and hot hot! Although this summer every state is that way…
AshleyM

I would least like to live in Alaska. So far away and sooo cold.
the Iowa Expat
/ August 17, 2012Sorry Nebraskans. I’ve driven across your state once and that was enough for this lifetime. Love my home state: IOWA!
Leslie
/ August 17, 2012I80 does not give any idea of what Nebraska looks like. You gotta leave the interstate to see it’s beauty.
Heidi
/ August 17, 2012As long as I live on the coast near water I’d be happy!
Carla S.
/ August 17, 2012I’d love a Texas board ! I’m a Texan born & raised. I live in Oklahoma now (not by choice ), but they say ” you can take a Texan out of Texas, but you can’t take Texas out of a Texan.” So true. I wouldn’t want to live in Califonia. I was in the big earthquake out there and that was enough for me, thank you very much.
These boards are great. thanks for the chance to win one.
Stacy
/ August 17, 2012I wouldnt want to live in Alaska. I can’t deal w/ the cold weather in VA. I’m positive that I’d fall apart if I lived anywhere north of me!
Beth
/ August 17, 2012I would least like to live in Kansas. Too hot, AND in tornado alley? No thanks!
Diliana
/ August 17, 2012I wouldn’t be crazy about Mississippi…continually ranked as the unhealthiest state while my home, Colorado, is the healthiest
CherylM.
/ August 17, 2012Any state that isn’t North Carolina!
Christie
/ August 17, 2012I do not think I would want to live in Kansas. Tornadoes terrify me and I am totally scared of the Wizard of Oz.
Denise
/ August 17, 2012I’d want a Colorado board. The least state I want to live in is Texas because of the intense heat but unfortunately that’s where we live!
Michelle
/ August 17, 2012I wouldn’t want to live in California. No earthquakes for me!
Kandra
/ August 17, 2012I would just love an Oregon one! I wouldn’t want to live in Maine because you couldn’t get any further away from our families
krissy
/ August 17, 2012Oh my goodness, my maploving soul is obsessed with these cutting boards!! If I had a choice I would choose NOT to live in NJ, being from PA I have a bias already and I hear the taxes are a killer.
Liliana
/ August 17, 2012One of the states I would like to live in is Alaska.
One of the states I would least like to live in is Mississippi.
Even though I do not live in Alaska, both my husband and I love it and would like to live there – hopefully one day soon we can visit. So, with that said, I think I’d chose an Alaska shape cutting board = )
Stephany
/ August 17, 2012These are so awesome! I would want the New Mexico one! I think I would not want to live in Kansas or Oklahoma. Tornadoes and Its so flat! I need some mountains!
Andrea
/ August 17, 2012No go on the Florida – too hot!

Nicole
/ August 17, 2012New Jersey. Been there, done that.

/ August 17, 2012VA all the way!
I’d hate to live in Alaska! I’d love to visit, but I hate the cold!
Laura Walker
/ August 17, 2012I would love the Texas board! The state that I would least like to live in would have to be New York. Too many people and the cost of living is horrific. I need personal space and I would not have any there.
danielle mcclure
/ August 17, 2012I don’t htink I could do Nebraska. I’m a California girl and without the ocean I have no clue which direction is west.
Tara F
/ August 17, 2012Interesting Cutting Boards!
Michelle
/ August 17, 2012I would least like to live in any of the states that have tornadoes. No thank you!

Jena C
/ August 17, 2012California, way too many people!
Megan
/ August 17, 2012Any state up North! Sorry Northerners, but the cold weather up there just does not sound fun to me.
SC
/ August 17, 2012I’m thinking I would be unhappy in the middle of the country – too far from the ocean!
Ann L.
/ August 17, 2012I don’t have a specific state I’d hate to live in — more of a general region (the Midwest). I’m terrified of tornadoes and would hate to be that far from all of my family.
Caitlin @ Desert Domicile
/ August 17, 2012Oooh, an Arizona cutting board would be perfect! I’d least like to live in New York. The city seems so busy all the time, I think I’d constantly be stressed out!
Sherry
/ August 17, 2012I’d like an Iowa board….wouldn’t want to live in New Jersey…hate the accent!
Rachel
/ August 17, 2012I’d absolutely love the Australia cutting board! We spent the summer there when I was 16 and I’ve been in love ever since. I don’t think I could ever live in Kansas…not sure why though…
Sarah
/ August 17, 2012An Ohio cutting board would be perfect for the home we now have in Kentucky! I’d least like to live in Missippi or Alabama where it is so hot and muggy.
Linsey
/ August 17, 2012I wouldn’t want to live in Florida or most of the deep south. My body and curly hair have a hard enough time dealing with excessive Wisconsin heat and humidity (of which there is [except this year, oddly] usually none)…I would never step out of doors.
Amber
/ August 17, 2012I hate being hot, so I’d hate living in any states in the south (especially Texas). These cutting boards are fabulous!
Emily
/ August 17, 2012Great giveaway! Thanks!
Jeanne
/ August 17, 2012I’d love to have the Idaho one for my daughter and son in law. How much do they cost?
Least favorite state would probably be Florida due to humidity and heat.
Sara
/ August 17, 2012These are so cool and would make fun gifts! I would not enjoy living in Alaska – too cold for my taste!
Caedwin
/ August 17, 2012While it’s a beautiful state and is fun to visit, I would hate to live in Hawaii. It’s just too expensive and the cockroaches are HUGE (and everywhere, even in your car!).
Heather
/ August 17, 2012I would love to live in Colorado…which is why I moved here from Wisconsin. I don’t think I could handle living in Texas though.
Corie
/ August 17, 2012I’d love a PA cutting board! Too cute!
I’d least like to live in New Jersey. Ick, aside from going down the shore, I really don’t like going into Jersey.
Danielle
/ August 17, 2012Oregon…because I loved living there the first time and have pined for it (pun partially intended) ever since I left 4 years ago.
Erin
/ August 17, 2012I am happy living wherever my family is. Thanks for the chance to win!
Harper
/ August 17, 2012I would least like to live in California. The little I know about it, it just doesn’t fit my personality. I’m definitely an East coast girl at heart.
Ashley Rae
/ August 17, 2012What a great giveaway! These cutting boards are too cute.
Um, I think I’d be least likely to live in Mississippi — too humid!
Darbi
/ August 17, 2012I want the Georgia board! And I would probably never live in California. Can’t handle the earthquakes and the cost of living in a lot of coastal towns is too much!
Wendy
/ August 17, 2012I am a Texas girl at heart, and would leave like to live in Alaska….snow and cold just don’t really agree with me.
