When I first saw these adorable felt playhouses, I thought genius:

• They fit right over card tables
• They can be easily taken down (perfect if you don’t have extra space in your house)
• They can be indoors (perfect for the 7 months it is cold outside in Utah!) or outdoors during good weather
• You can attach more toys to the outside for kids to move and play around with

I was given a copy of the 48 page pattern ebook.   It included the information on everything you would need to buy, how much to buy, and detailed pictures of how to do every step, including Heat N Bond (which I hadn’t even heard of, so I was glad there were step-by-step pictures).

Life, In Spite of Me is the true story of a girl who couldn’t take life anymore.  She had been violated and felt like she was worthless.  So she decided to commit suicide.  Honestly, I can’t say too much about the story or I will ruin it, but it is very direct and blunt about tough issues teenagers face these days.  I wish I had read this when I was  a teenager – so many great lessons to learn, particularly about trusting God.

Giveaway: 2 Readers Win Hardcover Copies of “Life, In Spite of Me”

I LOVE comfortable, couture, & modest swimwear. Hapari is another swimwear company I think you can all get ready to love too:

Hapari tankinis can be worn:

• criss- crossed
• tied as a halter
• tied straight back

Great way to switch it up and not get a huge tan line!   Their tankini tops are also super long, so you don’t have to worry about pulling at them all the time. Let me repeat that, no more pulling at your top every time a wave hits you!

I’ve said before how much I love companies that know how to make something not only flattering but comfortable. Hapari also rocks some hot:

• plus size suits
• men’s suits
• children’s suits

I have some very exciting news for you all:

Giveaway: The awesome crew at Hapari has decided to giveaway a $85 credit to Hapari.com to one Cuckoo for Coupon Deals reader!

Here’s how to enter to win:

1. Hop over to Hapari.com. Leave a comment letting us know which suit you would get with your Gift Certificate.
2. Get Up To 6 Extra Entries – select the yes or no options under the “Submit Comment” button, then submit ONE comment with which shirt you like.  Selections will be saved to your comment.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.

UPDATE: Giveaway has ended, view winners here.

I normally post giveaways on Wednesdays and end them the following Tuesday, but Freschetta Pizza contacted me about doing a giveaway and sent me 5 coupons for any size/variety of pizzas.  Since the coupons expire May 31st, I want to hurry and do the giveaway because it can take a week for mail to get to some parts of the country from me here in Utah.

Boring info, what’s important is I am doing a “quicky” giveaway – only 24 hours to enter!

Monday night for Family Home Evening I don’t feel like cooking, so we usually get Domino’s Pizza. This week we substituted and tried out one of the new Freschetta FlatBread pizza varieties:

• Zesty Italian
• Roasted Garlic & Spinach
• Pepperoni
• 5-Cheese

First off, let me say I normally don’t eat frozen pizza.  It is an extreme back up plan.  I just don’t like how the center always seems doughy.  I think that is why I choose their FlatBread Pizza, Zesty Italian to try out; less crust=no soggy middle.

Great choice! We cooked it right on the rack to get it nice and crispy, and the middle cooked! We were also impressed by the quality of the toppings, most important to me was that their pizza are made with all-natural cheeses, flash frozen vegetables and quality premium meats.   I’m a cheese freak.  I love some good cheese!

These free coupons can be used on any Freschetta pizza, but I would try the flatbread out!  Freschetta also let me know about a new $1/1 any Freschetta pizza printable.

Giveaway: 4 winners will get a coupon for free Freschetta pizzas – any size, any flavor.  And you know me, I like to throw in extra coupons for the winners!

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER TO WIN:

1. “Like” Freschetta Pizza and Cuckoo for Coupon Deals on Facebook, then just leave a comment stating that you did both (use the same name that you use on Facebook for verification purposes).
2. Get Up To 6 Extra Entries – select the yes or no options under the “Submit Comment” button, then submit ONE comment.  Selections will be saved to your comment!  If you tweet about the giveaway, make sure to use the hash tag: #Freschetta

Please enter your email address in the required e-mail field only.  Do not type it in your comment box because spambots will see it and spam you.  Your email address will be saved to your comment in our database so you can be instantly notified if you are selected as the winner.

Entry is open to US residents. Ends 10:00pm MST on Tuesday, May 11th. Winner will be chosen using a third party site, random.org, contacted by email, and have 48 hours to respond or an alternate will be chosen.

Kidorable.com has the cutest rain wear clothes and accessories I’ve ever seen.  I’m not getting paid to say this.  I just can’t believe how adorable and well-made they are.  These are made to last. They have matching rain boots, rain jackets, backpacks and umbrellas, and all look so cute that strangers will come up to you asking where you got them.

As you can see in the pictures I took above, my daughters love their rain boots and wear them with or without the rain.

Kidorable has lots of adorable boys sets too.  My friends who have boys always complain about how fantastic girls clothes and decorations are, while shopping for their boys they can never find anything.   Kidorable seems to have cured this problem!

SnorgTees are best known for their shirt “If Life Gives You Lemons, Keep Them, Because Hey, Free Lemons”. But they’ve got a ton of other shirts up their sleeves (Cheeseball alert! I can be so lame. Sorry.) Anyways, what more can you say about hilarious shirts?  The ones shown above are my two favs, although they have lots of great ones for guys and gals.

My husband got one and loves it.  100% super soft cotton and 100% cool.

Giveaway: 1 Winner Will Win A Snorg Tee!

I received the Greek Goddess gift pack above to try by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark.  I loved the towel. It is pretty plush, plus it has Velcro on the ends, so you can wrap it around yourself and velcro it shut; no more holding your towel up or messing with tucking it in while you get ready for the day!  My 3 year old calls it a ‘cape’ and loves to try off in it.  The back massager has been lots of fun for the kids to give each other back rubs with, and for mom and dad too.

The Greek yogurt has a very different taste to it – if a sale came, I would recommend buying 1 and trying it before you stocked up on it!

The Greek Yogurt comes with 12 grams of protein (twice that of other yogurts!!!) and in these flavors:

1. Strawberry,
2. Blueberry,
3. Honey Vanilla,
4. Plain

There’s a million swimsuit companies.

Here’s what’s unique about Essential Swimwear:

• Their swimsuit tops are all very modest and very long.
• You can mix-and-match any top to any bottom.
• You can get a small top and a large bottom or any other variety of sizes.  It’s not one-size-fits all!
• They have  a very easy size chart for you to measure yourself, so you get the right size of top and bottom to order.

I can’t wear one piece swimsuits because my top is not the same size as my bottom. Ok I said it!  And most 2 pieces are immodest and you are pulling at the top all the time to have it cover your stomach.  That’s why I am lovin’ essential swimwear because they have both of these problems covered!

I got the blue top shown above, then instead of the blue bottoms I choose the skirt bottom (shown below) because it hides more, if you know what I’m sayin’…

Giveaway: 1 winner will get to choose any top and any bottom of any size!

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER TO WIN:

1. Sign up for Essential Swimwear’s newsletter and leave a comment telling us you’re on the email list.  Click on “Join Email List”, all you have to enter is you email address – there’s no other info to enter so it’s very quick.
