Today, March 11th, we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


A Chic Apron and Swim Diaper Cover from Olive Jane Designs

If you’re going to be working hard in the kitchen, why not look cute doing it? Olive Jane Designs is here to help with their very hip aprons. The talented seamstress behind Olive Jane Designs loves her work and it shows in the quality of her products.


My daughter owns this adorable and high-quality skirt from Olive Jane Designs. Each time my daughter wears it I can’t quit looking at her throughout the day and thinking, “That is one of the cutest skirts I have ever seen on her!” I love it!

And today you have the opportunity to win some of Olive Jane Designs' products. The first is a darling apron:


It is made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton. It is very flattering, functional, and even sexy! So in other words, watch out ladies, your man will want more than dinner when he comes through the door and sees you in one of Olive Jane Designs' aprons.

The second product you can enter to win today is a swim diaper cover:


Olive Jane Designs' swim diaper covers are worn OVER a regular swim diaper. Due to an outbreak of cryptosporidium last year, almost all of the public swimming pools in our area make children ages three and under wear a swim diaper PLUS another plastic diaper over the top. At our local pool plastic white swim diaper cover-ups are $8.00. They’re just plastic, and boring. So why not purchase a cute diaper cover-up? You can even have your child wear a rash guard on his or her upper body and one of Olive Jane Designs' swim diaper covers over the swim diaper on his or her lower body. WA-LA: you have double diapered your child AND you have a swimsuit all in one.

ATTENTION: Olive Jane Designs is giving FREE SHIPPING (Yay!) to the readers of Give Away Today. In the notes upon check out you need to enter the code “giveawaytoday” and then Olive Jane Designs will refund the shipping through Paypal—it’s the only way that the Etsy/Paypal combo will allow Olive Jane Designs to do it. But hey, we’ll take free shipping any way we can get it, right ladies (and gents).

Each person can enter to win the stylish apron or swim diaper cover from Olive Jane Designs up to THREE times today.

For one entry leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry visit Olive Jane Designs’ website here. Look at all of their darling products and then come back to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and one of Olive Jane Designs’ products that you wish you owned.
Example: Jane Doe: Blue Harlequin Waterproof Diaper Cover

For a third entry I thought it would be fun to learn about our reader’s most embarrassing moments. In a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and one of your most embarrassing moments (your embarassing moment does not have to be pool or swimming-related).
Example: Jane Doe: When I was in eighth grade my dad took me and my best friend swimming with a youth group of about twenty boys (we were the only girls who got to go). That morning I snuck into my sister’s room and grabbed one of her swimsuits to wear. My friend and I had a great time swimming. Afterwards we jumped out of the pool and began talking (and flirting) with the boys. My friend quickly suggested we go to the dressing room. As we were walking away my friend told me to look down. When wet, the swimming suit had become completely see-through!! My sister had discovered this too and wore it only when laying out. This was a hard way to learn that I shouldn’t wear my sister’s clothes without asking.

The winner of the great products from Olive Jane Designs will be announced tomorrow, March 12th. Please visit us then to see if you are one of our winners and to check out the new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Tara Rogers : I was at a friend's house for a BBQ. I had gotten my dinner and was heading for my seat when I missed a step and basically threw my dinner in their newly cleaned pool. What a mess.

Kristen Archer: I was in the Miss Utah pageant and was doing a kickline in our production number when my stiletto got caught in my dress train. I had to do really low kicks and then hurry and pull it out when I got done to try and finish the kick line. It was so sad because I had a big hole ripped in the train of my dress. I had to tie a big knot in it for the remaining days to keep it together.

Danielle McLeod: Totally swim related: When I was in HS I was a swim instructor and Life Guard during the summers. One year the girls recieved new life guard bathing suits - red with crosses - that we had been allowed to pick out and choose. Everyone was really excited about it since we didn't have to buy our own that year and these were flattering, not boring and dumpy like our usual guard suits. Our first morning, we opened the pool, had everything ready and started our lessons - after letting allt he little kids head pack to their parents we caught mom's looking at us girl strangly. We weren't sure why - until we looked at one another - the suits - when wet - were more or less see through!!! It was horrible!!! Needless to say they were sent back!

April Oaks - While babysitting I ate some warm chocolate chip cookies the mother had made. When I got home HOURS later, I noticed I had a dab of chocolate on the tip of my nose that was big enough it looked like a chocolate chip. It was exactly in the center of the tip of my nose. I couldn't believe it!

Michele Judd: Once when I was pregnant with my daughter I had used the public restroom at the mall...I had come out of the stall and washed my hands without realizing that my skirt was tucked-up exposing my bum and panties. Thankfully a kind older woman told me that my skirt needed to be "fixed" in back before I had strolled on out into public. I was still embarassed.

I was in a beauty pageant when I was 17. We had sponsors that we had to thank during our speech. Mine were Dick and Prill from sir speedy printing. As they stood in the middle of the audience (of about 2 thousand people) I calmly said, "Thank you Prick and Dill".

Rachel Tricarico: When I was younger I wanted to shave my legs before my parents would let me. I found a ravor and shaved my legs without water or shaving cream. I couldn't figure out why my legs had little red bumps all over them. My mom's friend quickly figured out what it was. I thought my mom had no clue what I had done, but the look on her face when her friend asked me about my legs told me she knew!!!

Kendal Jessup: I once had a swim party at my house in the summer time, and I noticed one of my friend's quickly and quietly hide some of my pool toys in her towel. I didn't want to embarrass her and call her out on stealing my pool toys, so I turned it over to my mom, who said, "Hey everyone! We're missing some pool toys! Let's all look. Can we all shake our towels? Maybe it got misplaced." That's all I can think of in a swimming situation for now.

Charity Maua'i - I was in St. George for Spring Break with my friends. We were staying at a hotel on the main drag... the name escapes me. Two of us we're laying out by the pool... I got up to take a dip and started hearing all these car honks. That's right. I looked down to see that my twins had broken free. Yikes.

Clancy Passey: While riding in my friend Beth's van, I was trying to get her to dish on her first kiss in all the gory details. I knew the story already, but our other friend didn't. We bugged her about it for a while and she wouldn't tell. She was acting weird about it. We had to stop at her (Beth's) house for something and she ran inside and while she was gone I went ahead and told the story to Erin (other friend) and we were squealing with excitement right as Beth got back to the car. She wondered why we were squealing and I told her. She was NOT happy. Turns out, the boy she kissed was hiding in the back of the van (WHY he was in the back of the van is another story). I felt SO Dumb.

She asked me if I was on my period because I had a trail of blood following me. Luckily I wasn't, I had cut my toe, but I got teased about for the rest of the year.

Kyla Armstrong: At a youth dance at a HS I was unfamiliar with, I ended up in the boy's restroom! It was hot and sweaty and I was wiping the sweat from my eyes and entered the door to my right - because the girls' room is always on the right, right? It wasn't until I was in the stall and noticed there was no womanly receptacle that I got suspicious. Then, when manly voices entered the bathroom I freaked out and squished myself in the corner, hoping they wouldn't see my very girly heels. After they left, I counted to five and then sprinted out. I'm still not sure if anyone saw me, but I was totally sick inside. I still can't figure out how I walked past the urinals and didn't notice.
