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:
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:
I have some very exciting news for you all:

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:
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.

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!
HERE’S HOW TO ENTER TO WIN:
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:
Here’s a coupon for you to try it for yourself: $0.45/1 Yoplait Greek Yogurt coupon

There’s a million swimsuit companies.
Here’s what’s unique about Essential Swimwear:
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’…

Remember over here when I gave away 8 slice cutters? I got great reviews from all the people who won.
I was the first blogger Slice ever had review their product, and they thought it was so good that they have started offering these to several other bloggers to giveaway. My site has grown so much since my first giveaway, they thought I better host another one too.
They sell for just $6.03 here on Amazon.com
Thanks to Slice for giving me 25 slice safety cutters to giveaway -there will be 25 winners! According to their site, “the recessed ceramic blade lasts longer than steel and never rusts. Ever.” So I can use my slice to cut coupons forever, sweet!

Giveaway: Felt Playhouse Pattern
UPDATE: Giveaway has ended, view winner here
When I first saw these adorable felt playhouses, I thought genius:
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).
I admit, I’m a newbie at creative anything. The tips are in-depth, and no detail is forgot, right down to how many inches the window should be from the top and bottom of the playhouse. I need specific tips, so this is great for me! I can not create on my own – but I can follow a pattern – sorta!
The pattern is made for a 34” square folding card table, but don’t fret, there is a section on sewing playhouses for larger sized tables, building PVC frames and using different types of fabric.
The pattern includes outlines so you can trace and cut every detail shown in the pictures above, including:
The owner even leaves her email in the pattern book and invites you to email her any questions you have while making your playhouse! Perfect for ME!
Non-crafty?
You can purchase pre-made felt playhouses with tons of super cute themes at Imaginative Play Toys etsy shop. Prices start at $90 for the Basic Bungalow playhouse with just windows, a door, and a mailbox. My favorite is the 48″ tall Princess playhouse. *Mention Cuckoo for Coupon Deals for free shipping.*
Frugal/Crafty?
You can buy the pattern at Imaginative Play Toys etsy shop for $20. Of course I found out how much it would cost you to make one, I’m a coupon gal after all. I looked up prices for the amount of felt, Heat N Bond, and velcro you would need to make the playhouse, and my lowest price was $37.19, not counting curtain fabric for windows. I couldn’t find any great sales; these prices are from Fabric.com. That would make your final cost $57.19 for everything in the pictures above including the pattern eBook.
Imaginative Play Toys sell a Pattern and Pre-cut Fabric kit for $50. I think its a pretty good deal, but keep in mind all the extra decorations on the outside you would still have to buy and cut yourself from the pattern kit.
I am currently making one of these – follow my site as I post updates on my journey!
Giveaway: Free Felt Playhouse Pattern 48 page eBook with all the cutouts and details to make a felt playhouse.
