I feel happy about sprouted almonds!

I am LOVING their “meet and greet” concept of their two piece suits!

One thing I’m happy about … my kids have a day off in the middle of this week … AND my Husb will be home for it. AND we’re going exploring. So three things actually that I’m happy about.

Oh I love their suits too! Esp now that I’m two children in, and really need something myself, that is def far from what Margot picked out for you! I love your choice! And sad you missed the owner. One on one dates, I still have to work in. So hard when the littlest still needs me for nourishment. My dates with my big one usually involve short jaunts to the grocery store. Good thing he thinks those are super awesome still! 😀

Those suits look awesome! I am happy I found a great new book to read! 🙂

Love your words, Nici. I’m happy about celebrating 11 years of marriage with my husband. And celebrating with bi-rite ice cream in the Mission (sf) this lovely afternoon!

I’m happy we had such great weather other the weekend while we started the long process of a new fence to replace our well worn one! I’m also happy my brother and his wife came over to help us!

OH! I love these suits! I used to have a red Jantzen one that I loved to death. It lasted years and travelled the world but I continued to wear it during pregnancy and stretched it until it wouldn’t stretch any more. Would love to get a new one. Right this minute I am content with everything and happily thinking about swimsuits honestly.

I loved reading about your trip! That swimsuit is AWESOME. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I feel happy to be going to bed after a long day at work with the windows open!!

I am happy that these high waisted beauties are back in style! Also one of my best friends is having her very first baby tomorrow. Happy happy joy joy 🙂

Im happy that we spent the day introducing our new baby to her Godmother/aunt. It was special and beautiful!

Could totally use a cute, new suit that’ll flatter this post-baby body!

I feel happy about my lemon tree 🙂

I have several Popina suits on my wishlist for our Cape Cod vaca this summer! Ever since first seeing the Popina suits on Kelle Hampton, I knew they were a MUST for a new-mama-bod like mine!! What’s making me happy: 2 weeks til the end of semester 1 of grad school and an entire summer ahead to just love on my two main men (my super handsome husband and my ridiculously good looking one year old!)!! Giddy with the anticipation!!!!! Eeeeek!

helicopter birthday parties for my 6 yr old

I am so happy that we are going home! We have been away for over a year and a half. We tried something new and did what we had to do for our family financially but now we get to go home. I missed it so badly! My son gets to go back to his friends and my little girl gets to go back to her little pink room, which is the only thing she remembers about home. This momma is happy!

I celebrated my birthday this weekend! I’m 36 and I couldn’t be happier- bring it! 🙂

I feel so happy about the sunshine that’s flowing through my window and lighting up my office.
You rock, Dig!

Happy to be raising six chicks a dog and cat, starting tomatoes and watermelons in my bathroom, living in a farmhouse with a barn, working at my dream job, and trying to get pregnant with my best friend and husband.

I feel happy about staying up till 4am talking with my dear old friend just now. And about your new swimsuit. I feel like I have to have one!

The both parents with one child is fun. Doesn’t happen very often, but is rich when it does.
Right now I feel happy because spring finally sprang in Minnesota this past weekend!

I’m happy that the sun in shining! It’s been a long, cold winter.

I saw Bob Dylan Saturday night. Happy!

I’m happy I have just finished sewing clothes for my girl as part of kids clothes week. Phew – her winter wardrobe sorted.

Happy about the chance to maybe win a popina swimsuit!!!!!!!!!!

Omg I looooooooooooooooooove the vamp maillot suit!!!

This giveaway is going to be super popular but I am going to cross my fingers! My 5 year old Target bathing suit just doesn’t work on my body anymore and running for the last year has earned me the right to feel great in a bathing suit!

It would be hard to pick one. I like the vintage style, love the polka dots. I would ask Popina which suit would work best with my lack of a chest and go from there.

Thanks! 🙂

My first bit of happy is that I found your website last year and am regularly inspired by your words to be creative and see the world through my kids’ eyes. Second is that I’ve also been eyeing Popina bathing suits and would love the opportunity to win one! 🙂

So many awesome suits! Grace, Gina, Vamp, oh my!

I am happy to be closing on a sweet old farmhouse with 4.5 acres of land ready to be recultivated tucked away in a Vermont hollow this month!

Right now I am silly happy for cool nights and warm days..i love that slight cold and crispness at night!

I would LOVE to have a bathing suit that made me feel confident and sexy! The post baby belly (even when the youngest “baby” is 5) is so different from the pre-baby belly! Lol! Thanks for the chance of winning one!!

I feel happy for the last day of school holidays & a day to spend 1 on 1 with my biggest little fella.

I am happy about finally hanging pictures of my sweet family, and several opportunities to see old friends this week.

So so so happy that snow is melted and spring is here! Soon time to get the boat in the water which means I’m needing a new suit to go with it!!

Oh I just LOVE the Popina bathing suits. Have had my eye on them for so long, but could never justify the purchase! Seeing as I’m due with our third daughter in less than 3 weeks, I know I’m going to feel awkward in my current bathing suits. I love the Bridgette Retro Tankini in Red! And as a bonus, I could probably easily pull of nursing in that suit. I NEED it! 😉

I feel very happy to be graduating from the wonderful Warren Wilson College in two weeks!!

Oh I really need a new suit! This would be a dream come true!

I’m am so happy to be right in the beginning of starting our first garden! Seedlings are sprouted, garden is fenced in, kids are running naked up and down the rows, it’s lovely.

I am happy to be alive; and to be able to share my life with my beautiful family. We all had fun digging in the dirt…turning over our raised beds in our garden today 🙂

I feel happy right now listening to my percolator heating up on the stove.

I’m happy right now about jogs and walks along Lake Michigan. I can breathe there after a long day! This summer, I need a Popina suit to sun there!

I’m in I could use a suit that will…. “to flatter every body”….THIS body in particular!

I feel happy about the past weekend. It was busy, yet there was time to relax.

I decided that 2013 was MY year and good things are happening in abundance!

Love the one on one time with children. With four, I find it difficult, but treasure every second of it when I have it. Also, love your new bathing suit. I’ve followed you and Kelle for the past couple of years and have admired her Popina suits!! Have a great Monday!

I feel happy about being home in Nova Scotia to visit with my parents and family for a few weeks! 🙂 Love Popina and it would be amazing to win one of their beautiful suits!

Have always coveted these suits! Right now, I’m feeling full and happy the morning after hosting good friends for dinner. People had third helpings of my cooking and my lovely man did all the dishes. A happy Sunday Supper indeed! xo

I feel happy that I’m going to be an aunt any day now!

I feel happy about the start of a new week, sunshine, and the chance to win one of these beautiful suits!

I feel happy that the weather is warming up and that our family spent the weekend enjoying the sun!

I feel happy that, after years of talking about it, I finally have my own vegetable garden in the backyard! Here’s to hoping something grows! xoxo

Love these! I happy that it has finally turned to spring, so my garden is growing and the new chickens are getting a coop this week! (And the kids are getting OUT of their coop!)

Discovering my budding seedlings, the smell of warm earth, bare feet in the grass: spring has me so content!

I would LOVE a new bathing suit after my baby comes in July! They are so pretty!!!!

I am happy for an upcoming road trip with my family, and that we could get some new Magic Tree House stories on CD from the library for the ride!

I would LOVE one of these suits!! It would be make me almost as happy as my new little baby scheduled to arrive in July…on second thought, nothing beats that 🙂

I’m happy because I get to leave for an all inclusive tropical vacation this Friday! Seriously I can’t wipe the smile off my face!

I feel happy, that spring is finally arriving in MI. Getting out on the mountain bike trails, training for my first race of the season- Saturday 🙂

I’m happy about our upcoming visit to family in Florida (first time the cousins all meet!). Baby is 15 months old now and I need to face reality and buy a new swim suit rather than wear my maternity suit!

I really need one of these swim suits! Ive had my eye on them for a year and never been able to get one. Also, I love the swim suit your daughter chose:) and that somehow, the way you write about your kids always makes me extremely happy and emotional.

I love the swimsuits!!! I’ve had the same suit for three years (and through two pregnancies-summer babes) it’s time for a change!

I feel happy I am able to run through the mountains of Montana!

I’m happy the weather has finally turned nice!

I am feeling so happy that it’s spring!! Bathing suit weather ahead!

Great suit!

I am happy that it finally feels like spring here in the Midwest.

Blueberry muffins on a sunny back deck. 🙂

Happy I got more work done in the garden this weekend!! Looking forward to warmer days ahead:-)

happy to be sitting in a quiet house, drinking a tea, hoping to win a new swim suit! 🙂

I feel happy I got to sleep in 3 hour intervals with my newborn last night!

I’m excited about the progress I’m making in my Fitness Challenge at work. It would be great to have new suit to show it off!

Blueberry muffins in a sunny back deck. 🙂

Love these suits and I am loving the memories of the weekend

I am happy that the sun finally came out this weekend! It was a beautiful weekend in Denver.

I LOVE the website and all of the swim suits! What a great giveaway!

Raining in my neck of Montana, which means I don’t have to lug buckets to my new plantings!
Loving April showers!
Would love a bathing suit that made me feel/look hott ( with 2 t’s!).
Yeah!

Ooooo a black swimming suit, love it! And I am so happy to be at home with my daughters today 🙂

As a teacher who takes her special Ed students to the pool once a month, and a mom of two, I’d love to have this swimming suit!!!!! Pick me pick me! It has enough coverage to keep me modest, and still feel cute 🙂

I’m happy because the string of hearts I hung is dancing in the warm breeze blowing through my open window. I’m happy it is warm enough to have an open window, even if it is just a sliver.

It might be silly, but right at this moment I’m happy that it doesn’t matter what time it is, I can eat my lunch at work whenever I want to (and I’m hungry, so I want to!). Also happy it was sunny for one day this weekend, and we spent all of it outside, my daughter playing and me handstitching her big girl bed’s quilt binding.

I love the pink and black polka dot Jantzen vamp suit, or the red and white polka dot halter one piece! So flattering and cute 🙂

Love Popina suits! Got one about 2 yrs ago and LOST it!! No clue how I managed that!

Right now, I’m happy for spring and what’s to come. Baby boy due in July so I’m loving all the kicks I’m feeling. 🙂

I’m happy about spring showing up to the midwest yesterday. And about my darling almost 8 month old happy boy, just his existance makes me thrilled! Life is full of many good things. Me in my bikini isn’t one of them though, so I’d love to have a new suit for my new, more matronly but still strong & capable body!

I am happy for baby toes in fresh cut grass! It was finally nice enough in Iowa to cut the grass and I played with my 5 month old all day!

I am feeling happy about my renewed running addiction. I can’t go too long or too fast but I’m happy to be getting out there again! (And just in time for bathing suit season!)

I’m happy that summer is right around the corner! Summers in Vegas are stupidly hot, but my kids don’t get sick!!!

Happy for another Monday wake-up down …. Summer’s comin’!

You know I’m all about a rockin’ retro mom-suit. Hot diggity!

No school today for my kiddos & blue birds in the field.. One more, I woke to a good cup of coffee thanks to Cory. Have a wonderful day Niki!

Love your new suit. I am over-the-moon happy about all things spring right now. Coffee on the sunny porch, baby chick integration, rows of tomato seedlings that I lovingly cart inside and out each day, and filthy bath water each night. Lovin life!

I’ve had my eye on a few of their suits since I just welcomed my first baby and its time to retire the two-piece!

As a mom of three I forget the last time I have felt comfortable in a bathing suit. These look great and flattering- I would love to win a suit!

I am happy that summer is just around the corner!!! Also, my 30th birthday 🙂

I feel happy about bare baby toes touching the grass, eating supper outside, blowing bubbles in the backyard, and sunshine on my shoulders. Also, I HEART Popina!! Best ever.

I’m happy that spring has finally arrived in Portland!

I feel happy about sunshine and building my new garden! And upcoming days of swimming in Maine lakes! Hopefully in a new swimsuit!

I’m happy about our productive weekend at home; cleaning and organizing, steam cleaning carpets, and wishing I could have had one more day to work on it all!

For me it would be a toss up between two one pieces, “Samantha” or “Seafolly”. The suits are absolutely gorgeous.

I’m currently bathing suit shopping, so this would be totally rad! I love the suit you picked out. Loving right now: verdant spring green emerging and open windows/fresh air. xo

Open windows, lemon water, a sweet morning text from a good friend, a husband who I miss while he is at work and almost May 🙂

I am happy for beautiful warm weather. Life is so good!

I need a new swimsuit!!!

I’m happy because I know that everything and everyone and every moment is a gift. This blog is a gift, too; thank you for all your creativity and work here, Nici! xo

I feel happy about the Montana rain this morning-nothing more rewarding in spring than a nice rain shower !!

I feel overjoyed that we are moving into our dream home in NINE DAYS!!!!!

I turn 40 this week. Forty. Four-oh. I love the wisdom and calm that comes with age, but honey, I would be lying if I said I didn’t want my 19 year old, pre-babies body back. A fabulous bathing suit that made me feel as confident as a 19-year old strutting the streets of Missoula in a string bikini with an inner tube slung over one shoulder after emerging Bo Derek-like out of the Clark Fork? That’s what I am talking about. A heck of a 40th bday present indeed.

I feel happy that I just read an email from a dear friend of more than 20 years whom I have not seen in too long. The best start to my rainy Monday morning.

I feel happy that its finally sunny and worm outside.

Ooh, please put my name in the hat! Though I have no idea how I’d pick just one!

I am happy that there are only three weeks left in what has been an extremely challenging semester!

I am happy about the grass greening up and blogging! Loved your interview on Mamalode today.

I am happy for a rare Monday off work to lay in bed with my little girl, watch movies, swim, and relax – just the two of us 🙂

Feeling happy that the rain is nourishing our newly planted carrot and cucumber seeds, that our kids are healthy and happy, and that our house is home. A bathing suit would be great for our Montana summer vacation! Whoo hoo!

Right now my oldest of four daughters is preparing to graduate from high school and getting ready to leap off to college! I feel happy to watch her excitement grow as she follows her dream to be a vocal performance major! Just saying it gives me goose bumps!

I feel happy that I got to sleep in this morning 🙂

I’m happy for my parents! After years and years and years of struggling and doing everything they can for myself & my brother – they’re having a great 2013 so far. Selling their house and planning a happy new home, my dad got a long-deserved promotion & with that promotion comes a trip to Hawaii – somewhere they’ve never been. For that purpose I’d love to win a suit for my mom – just this past Saturday she told me she wished she could find a retro-style suit to make her feel great on her trip, and I recommended Popina (after hearing about them from you & Kelle’s blogs). How funny that you are now doing a giveaway! Fingers crossed 🙂

PS the nose-smush-cupcake photo is just too cute! I bet she loved her mommy & daddy day!

Love that suit! Need it. What is making me happy at this moment is my 3 year boy trying his hardest to learn the Smooth Criminal coreography:)

I have been eyeing Popina swimwear for sometime now. They have fabulous suits. 🙂

I am loving being active and feeling in shape for the first time in a long while. I am also loving family time! 🙂

I’m happy that our first scheduled beach trip is less than a month away… Not so happy that I have yet to find a suit that fits appropriately after #2 was born, but things are looking up!

I am happy that I have such a kind and supportive family to help me through a rough separation. I am happy that my one year old son can feel joy through them.

I’m happy that it finally feels like spring outside! And that my husband is home from work, sleeping in our bed even if it it 9:30 in the morning because he was up all night running a train. And my son and daughter have had a peaceful morning (so far), without somebody screaming that the other one is doing this, that, or the other thing that really isn’t a big deal but in a 5 or 2 year old mind it’s the end of the world!!!! 😉

I like your pick! I am still in that post-partum phase and kinda scared of bathing suit season 🙂 One thing I’m happy about right now is my upcoming vacation to North Carolina! Okay, it’s not until July, but I am already planning and daydreaming about it. Can’t wait to spend 2 whole uninterrupted weeks with my baby girl!!

Right now, I feel happy that this week I have a DATE night with my husband. It has been a long time and I am really looking forward to it. It may be Monday but that helps!!

I am happy that I have finished my last long run before my race this weekend. It will be the first of the season and the butterflies are rushing back 🙂

LOVING the warmer weather and getting my 3 kiddos some fresh air!! We have two 5 month olds so we’ve been cooped up for quite some time now!!

After a long refreshing weekend (with plenty of sun and time with my girl) I am happy to be back at work. 🙂

I feel happy that spring is slowly arriving to the subarctic of Canada!

I feel happy that this Virginia gal is visiting Oregon this summer!

I am happy about marrying the man of my dreams in just 34 days!!

Ohhh, I so need a new suit for the summer. I am happy for a summer of fun with friends and family and this wildly amusing todder of mine!

Love the Popina suits. Right now, feeling happy about lots of things, but I am especially happy about the gorgeous spring weather that is FINALLY upon us!

I feel happy that I spent Sunday with my littlest – riding her tricycle around the block learning and noticing and naming all the spring flowers and trees that are blooming.. Feeling deja vu as it seems like yesterday I did the very same with my now 9 year old! Simple pleasures.. oh so good!

I’m happy for the rain today. It was a beautiful weekend and now we are getting the much needed rain 🙂

Love them!!

And, I’m happy about getting our garden fence up yesterday!

I’m happy that my four kids have changed my formerly “skinny girl” body into a “vintage girl” body. The curves could use a little adjusting – with the help of that cool bathing suit! I dig your blog!

Feeling happy about taking my almost one year old to spend a week at my parents place in the mountains, and coming home to green and blossoms everywhere.

I would LOVE a new suit for my post-baby bod! Also, I feel happy that we are finally getting some warm, spring weather in MN, and that my yard is filled with new growth. I am so excited to garden I can’t stand it.

My oldest of four daughters is preparing to graduate high school and leap off to college! I am so happy to watch her go after her dream of being a vocal performance major!!

Wow, what gorgeous suits!
I am happy that I get to go on a date with my husband tonight! It so rarely happens, and I can’t wait.

I am so happy today that it is my second to last day of work before I get to be a stay-at-home mommy with my two girls. Happy for the world opening up this opportunity for me. And happy to have a summer to run, live and dream! YAY.

I love reading your posts! Today I am happy that it has finally stopped raining, and that the rain washed away a whole lot of pollen. 🙂

Happy winter is over, pretty much, here in Montana. Eating green garlic, arugula and pea shoots from the garden!

Would love one of these suits. 🙂

Right now, I’m loving the change of seasons. We are getting (a little) more warm and sunny here in the Pacific Northwest!
-Lisa

Oooh, I could use a new bathing suit! Right now I am happy because my cousin and several of my friends have babies due this summer. Can’t wait to meet all of these new littles!

I feel happy that because we are finally finished winter! I love chilly spring days!

Such fun suits!
I’m just excited that it spring really seems to be here in Montana. For real this time. I had a wonderful walk to get coffee with my brother yesterday. What a glorious beautiful state we live in.

I am happy for the sun peeking out now and then in between rain showers. Knowing that tomorrow is the last day of April and winter is definitely behind us is such a relief; no more winter coats and gloves to stuff my kids into. Bring on spring!!

I am bursting with joy that I will be illustrating this summer and be compensated. A simple smile and a hello turned into a wonderful opportunity.

I am loving that my middle boy wanted me to snuggle home until he fell asleep for his nap-which was about 10 seconds 🙂

I am happy that my husband will be home from training in 12 short days!!! Love the suit 🙂

I am happy that it is so gorgeous outside FINALLY. We are playing outside in the yard and LOVING IT!!!

Love the Jantzen Vamp Women’s One Piece Bathing Swimsuit in black.

My youngest’s snuggles are making me happy right now, as she gets older I am afraid she will out grow her need for a quiet snuggle with mama.

I feel happy about our almost complete fence. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Right now, I am so loving nap time! I can hear my babies’ (2 and 3) slow deep breaths and can see the steady rise and fall of their chests as they sleep soundly in there sleeping bags; camping out next to me on the floor of our living room! I have been dreaming of a Popina swimsuit for 3 years now! It’s RED and it’s gorgeous and it looks like it would hug all the right places. I keep telling myself I will splurge and buy it for myself for my birthday and then I totally cheap out.
P.S. My birthday just so happens to be May 3rd! #totally not kidding 🙂

I am happy I’ve had a productive morning – despite a brutal night’s sleep!

Right now I am happy that in three days I turn 39. I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters and I plan to rock my last year in my 30’s. What better way to do that than with a hot number from Popina!! Great giveaway!

What a great suit!!! At this moment I am so happy to
Be sitting here with my son.

Hi Dig! First, LOVE your blog. A new beautiful retro suit from Popina would be such a gift to brighten up my life right now. I am in the midst of ending a marriage that I had high hopes for. My heart hurts so deeply right now. I don’t take marriage lightly but after realizing that I am not able to nurture my creative, free loving, adventurous spirit in this marriage, I can’t continue. Since separating from my husband, I am trying to change back to the woman that loved herself. I started eating well again (made your bussel sprout salad and it was the BOMB!), exercizing 5 X week and and have recently lost 20 lbs. I am exited about this revived health and body, but my old suit will look ridiculous on me now! A new suit would brighten my somewhat grey life right now. I know, however that with our without a new suit, my days will brighten. I look forward to that. With love and appreciation.

I am happy that I got to snuggle my baby nephew yesterday – he’s ten weeks old and so squishy in all the best baby ways 🙂

I feel happy that you got to explore our beautiful city!

I feel happy and thankful for the beautiful Montana sky that I am gazing at.

I’m happy that our whole family spent yesterday out doors- gardening, cleaning up, snacking, playing, bike riding- in the beautiful sunshine-y day!

I love their suits!

Right now, I’m happy because I have a baby napping on my belly, and another baby growing in my belly. Life is good.

Spring has finally arrived in Minnesota! *Last week we got 12″ new snow. I’m Happy to enjoy some sun beside my still ice covered lake!

I feel happy that I hiked 9 miles yesterday with my husband and friends. I am happy that we are looking for a new place to live and I’m happy for the opportunities ahead of us!

I am about to have my second baby in a few weeks and am pretty sure I am going to need a different swimsuit for this summer than the one I bought last summer 🙂

I am happy about milk chocolate with hazelnuts and a breakfast date with a friend and my sweet little man 🙂

I am so happy that my baby fell back asleep in my arms even though I have to switch the laundry and something is boiling on the stove. I am also happy I could reach my phone!

I love the 2 parents & 1 kid time. We need to do that more often too. I also love Popina! (Fingers crossed). xo

I am happy that we just booked a week at the river for the whole family in September. It’s going to be great!

I feel happy about a longgg restful night of sleep and being woken up with doggy snuggles!!

I feel happy that the semester is almost over…at which time I will slip into my brand-spankin’ new Popina bathing suit (crossing my fingers!), pour myself a champagne cocktail and pretend I’m all “old hollywood glamour” while I lay on the chaise lounge in the sun and read something FOR FUN and not for class! Heaven!

I’m feeling happy about warm weather. It’s been a delicious spring here in Oregon and I’m loving it! And I could definitively use a cute new suit.

Uffda! I’m a mama to an almost eleven-month-old, and the thought of getting into a swimsuit gives me the willies, but I know that I’d feel a heckuva lot better pulling on one of Popina’s beauties!

I’m feeling so, so happy about the fact that the sun is shining and the weather has finally reached the 70s here in unpredictable South Dakota.

A beautiful Montana weekend spent with family=happy me! 🙂

I’m happy right now because i love pandora avett brothers radio, and they’re from north carolina, and that’s where I’m a’going!

Oh, man, I love that suit! I am not a shorts girl but I do love a good suit – you do have to show skin sometime, and it’s worth it to swim and to go to the beach. I’m positive even I might feel good in this one, thanks for sharing & for the chance!!! It’s black, a NYC girl’s prerequisite!

Gah, I posted that I love the suit – but forgot what I’m happy about right now. RIGHT now I’m happy about almond butter, and the support of 2 other women in the office as the 3 of us start Paleo for a 30 day challenge on May 1! (:

Sarah

well, I would love to win a free suit. but i am headed to popina either way. portland’s my home town. whoop.

I am so thrilled/happy that this spring has been so wonderful and I have managed to meet my goal of working in the yard an hour a day. We are supposed to reach the 80’s here in Ptown this week so I am planning to drag out the baby pool and a new suit sure would be nice with that!

Thanks!!

Sunshiney weather in southeast Saskatchewan has me all sorts of happy today! Winter was much too long for this summer-lover 🙂

I went for a walk today with my two boys, and they both silently held hands with me as we walked home. It made my heart explode with happiness!

SUN and 70 degrees! It’s been a LONG winter here in Minnesota!

I am happy to have my almost two year old nestled against me in deep sleep because I know these moments will end soon.

A creative day in my classroom!!

I am happy that there is rain with the wind we’ve been having.

I am happy about the changing weather. We are finally getting spring here. Friday is my birthday and winning a Popina suit would make my day!

I feel happy about… my quiet giggly house as my son and daughter actually play TOGETHER rather than scold each other. She is helping him draw. ***happy, contented sigh

I planted peas today with my dog and it was so sunny and springy!

OMG how I want a new swimsuit!
Super happy right now about this pregnancy; loving life and the skin I’m in. xo

The snowbank behind the house melted and ALL went into the ground (not the basement) and it’s raining right now!

Love those suits!
Feeling happy about spring weather finally coming stay in NJ

I feel happy about becoming a grandma,in August!

I feel happy about becoming a grandma,in August!

Love, Love, Love your blog and your girls and you!
Also, I need that tankini! It’s literally exactly what I’m looking for?
Any idea what the style name is or how I find it?

Feeling happy right now that it’s 5pm here (LA) and I go home in an hour to my amazing husband and two babies! Nothin like quitting time!!!

-Michal

These swim suits look rad.
I am happy about being able to complete a full day of hiking a glorious mountain ridge line in Franconia State Park, NH.

I am happy for Spring, the lovely flowers and beautiful blooming trees!

I would so love this for my trip to FL in June!

Remember how you posted a picture of yourself in your suit last time?! Pics again hott lady! 🙂

I’ve been admiring these suits for a couple of years and love love them! I’m happy about warm weather and budding trees, plants and life!

I’m happy for summer on it’s way and longer days!

Ah, I love Popina! I think my fave is the “The Mabel” in Daisy Dot
What’s making me happ is that my one year old girl has fallen in love with my already well worn Winnie the Pooh bear.

I am happy that I got to spend a rare afternoon at home with my baby girl!

Ooooh, cute swimsuit! I could see myself lounging in style next to the kiddie pool in the back yard in one of those : )

I am happy with so much in my life right now, I can’t say just one… my 13 month old is amazing, it’s my husband’s birthday tomorrow, the weather at the moment is sensational… life is just one big HAPPY right now!

Oooh enter me please! 🙂 I’m happy that after dinner to ugly we took a fun family walk!

Happiness is…

Standing with my daughter underneath these frickin’ full-bloom pink cherry trees shaking the branches and getting swallowed in pink snow. It makes me giggle to the core.

i’m happy to have a wild little baby snuggled up with me tonight. he really needs to be sleeping in his bed, but i’m cherishing him being with me 🙂

i actually threw away my old suit (4 years) a few weeks back. i love their vintage, curve loving suits!

Oh please pick me… I haven’t had a new suit in ….. well I guess almost 2 decades.

I am happy to be reading Nikki McClure’s “Mama, is it Summer Yet?” With my just turned five year old and counting the days till Mama is home for the summer (32 days of school left!) we are planning all of the fun things we want to do together during the last summer before he begins kindergarten. Sweet anticipation makes me happy!

Our 12-week old puppy, Sawyer. He is feisty, fun, and flippin adorable. Loving learning new things about myself and my husband as we move thru this new adventure – puppy parenting.

I’m happy about having the attic fan on right now!!! Would love a suit!

I’m happy I found a pair of jeans that are comfy and look cute on me!! Wahooooo!! 😉

Hot damn. I’m happy that so many people are so friggin’ happy! Bring it.

LOVE those suits. I have a vintage body, so a vintage suit would be just perfect. Would I ever splurge on myself like that? Dang. I’m still debating buying a new pair of pants after…6(?) years. I think it’s time, no? Maybe the suit should come first. Who needs pants anyway?

Ohhh, I’ve always wanted a suit from Popina! In the midst of a deep soul-searching journey (separating from my husband, figuring out the single mom thing with 2 young kids.. learning to be me again), AND having recently lost 40lbs…a new bathing suit is definitely in order for this summer!

Making me happy right now… we’re on the upswing from a nasty virus last week. Happy that we’re all feeling healthy, happy that my 2 little monkeys are tucked safely, happily, securely in their beds. Happy knowing I’m doing the right thing (my almost 5 year old daughter exclaimed, during snuggles before bed tonight, ‘Mama, I just love you so, so, SO much!’). Happy indeed.

I am so happy that everything is ready for breakfast in the morning, just have to bake the French toast and the quiche. Working late into the evening is worth it in this case!

I love the retro swimsuits – thank you for sharing a chance to win! And your model is going to look smashing in the swimsuit she picked – in a few years :))

Love the suits!

I feel happy tha my almost 4 week old litte mister is having a much better night than last night. It probably helps that his mama is feeling much more calm!

I am happy my sweet little one slept through the night! My post baby body would love to rock a new popina suit!

Love this black halter: http://www.popinaswimwear.com/one-piece-bathing-suit-halter-black-swimwear-c-12-p-1-pr-60.html

Happy to celebrate one year of marriage this weekend!

Right now, I’m happy that my husband and I spent a rainy weekend away in a rustic cabin in the West Virginia mountains…

I love it when women find bathing suits that make them feel awesome – extra points for bathing suits that love hips!!

Keeping me happy these days? Running! Gave birth to my second last April and never got back into the groove of any kind of exercise/me time. On a whim, decided to register for a half-marathon and then immediately freaked out since I haven’t run since, um, well maaaaany years. It. Has. Changed. My. Life! Never in a million years did I think I could feel this good about my ability to run again. More importantly, running has given me back so much that I was pushing down in my life. I am confident again, I feel healthy again, but I am also happier and more present and fun for my kids and husband. The icing on the cake? Training with a friend who has become very dear to me and who has shared almost every single running step along the way. Just can’t beat it!

I love the idea of two parents and one kid dates…looking forward to doing that myself soon! I am happy about summer coming so early to Georgia and playing at the beach with my loves.

Fun suits! This morning I am happy that I am able to appreciate and embrace my day before the kids wake up 🙂

One thing I’m happy about – I’m going to the beach this weekend! I can’t wait to sleep in and roam the sand with my friend.

Right now I am happy about the latte I am drinking. I love the Popina bathing suits as well and have wanted to get one for a while.

Love Popina! I first saw their cutie stuff at the Edgefield Inn in Oregon, (you would die of love at this place Dig). Right now I am happy to be eating carrot cake for breakfast and that the sun will be shining here in my rural, north of Seattle town all week : )

I am happy my jasmine vines are blooming…transformed our humble garden into an exotic oasis. And fava bean forests make me smile. Thanks for sweet giveaway!

I am happy for spring weather!!

i have coveted a swimsuit from there for years! Love your choice, appreciate the lime green with fringe, but i would have gone your route in the end…:) What a nice idea to have both parents with one child on an occassion. I will remember that one.

Love your swim suit! I am happy to see the sun peeking out after the rain shower.

Love these suits! I am happy about my breakfast this morning of drip coffee with cinnamon on the grounds pre-brewing (can’t go without it now) and homemade yogurt (recipe from your blog and I have made it every other week since – thank you!) with bananas and maple syrup.

The glorious sunshine!

oohhh…a suit could definitely get some good mileage this summer–trip to Maui coming up!!

Happy the sun is shining and it’s warm. Plus the laundry is done and put away!!!

I would love a new swim suit! Thanks for sharing these great suits!

I feel happy that I found my first morels of the season this past weekend while hunting with my son! Feeling happier that I am going out hunting again with a friend tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Big priority for the girls is for them to learn to swim. I may need to investigate a Popina suit to swim with them. What am I happy about? My girls recognise my voice and when I say it’s Mama, they snap their heads around to make eye contact, smile and coo. Like a normal baby. Enjoy Florida, i’m sure you’ll have an absolute blast! Xxx

Love these!

I feel happy about my 6 day old baby boy. Happy about the perfect pregnancy and homebirth
i finally got to experience. Happy even for this wicked mastitis, it gives me a legitimate excuse to stay in this new mom cocoon a bit longer.

I am loving the sun and warmth that look like they are finally here to stay, starting my first real vegetable garden in the raised beds my skilled husband built, AND bringing home a puppy to join our family in 3 weeks!! So much to be happy about 🙂

I am happily anticipating a visit from my fun-loving mother-in-law. It’s only the third time she’s been able to hang out with her 8-month-old grandson, so there will be happiness all around!

If I ate those cupcakes Margot is staring at in the first photo, will I still look amazing in the Popina suits!? Yes please, to both! 🙂

I feel happy just knowing that a swimsuit that cute exists in this world, and that I have a chance to win it!

Would LOVE to win and ROCK one of these beautiful swim suits!!!! xoxo

At this moment I feel happy about the prospect of winning a rockin’ new swimming suit. 🙂 And also this hilarious weather – the dusting of snow on my apricot blossoms is pretty.

I am happy we have a/c as our pool isn’t quite warm enough for swimming yet, though my son and I did try today. (Tucson, AZ formerly of Great Falls, MT!) I love the retro bathing suits!

I’m happy to be a month away from meeting our baby boy! And getting a new summer suit whether I win or not 😉

I am happy that both of my babies are asleep right now and I’m able to catch up on my blog-reading 🙂 I would love the talents of a Popina swimsuit to be performed on my mom-body!!

I’m happy my husband taught me how to use a chainsaw today! Love learning new things.

I’m happy my younger daughter pulled herself to standing in her crib.

I’m happy About the major kicks going on in my belly right now & really hoping for a new perfect swimsuit for this post-baby body!

I am happy about the spring time and our garden prep, spending most of our days outside and the fact that the school year will soon be coming to an end for my boys so we can spend more time playing and exploring!

I need a new suit! Right now, I am happy that it is sunny and 82 in Chicagoland. It’s not going to last.

Love that my teaching year is winding down! LOVE my preschoolers, but can’t wait for summer!

Beautiful suits! I’m happy rocking a sleeping baby now.

So happy to have spent 5 days with one of my very best friends welcoming her new babe! Happy for a day of sunny reconnection with my littles at the park today! Love these suits!

I am happy right now because I hear we’re supposed to get some rain tonight. I love being under mounds of blankets listening to the rain outside as I drift between dreaming and wakefulness. It doesn’t hurt to also have my little ones sleeping by my side.
I’ve been loving those bathing suits for awhile. If I’m not picked I’ll be visiting that store in Portland this summer!

Im happy that I’m snuggled up in bed beside my little lady. 🙂

I ve browsed the popina website as well..Such fun original suits.. And the chance to get one for free?! Cant get better than that! Today im happy with my 3 adorable children and for the warm weather thats finally coming our way:) maybe..hopefully the snowbanks will disappear for good!

I’m happy that my boys will finally get their own rooms in less than a month!

Adorable swimsuits! I’m happy that I just finished writing two 15 page art history papers. Wahoo!

I am happy that I am expecting my second child! We found out this past Saturday and my husband and I couldn’t be more excited!

I sure don’t follow directions…. hahaha I’m happy about owning 1 business and not 2 at the moment.

I’m really happy that “The History of Future Folk” has been picked up for distribution in the US. I was lucky enough to see it at the Napa Valley Film Festival and I can’t get it out of my head.

Other than that, I’m happy it’s such a beautiful day.

Love these!

I was thinking about that awesome pic of you “frosting” with one of your hens. That was a Popina suit, right? Such a great photo!

I’m happy about the newborn baby girl snuffling softly into my neck right now…

What fun!

That I’m getting my hair cut. Long overdue! And sans kids. Definitely happy. 🙂 Thank you for such a fun and generous giveaway.

I am happy the sun is shining and its not snowing!!!!

I’m happy about time spent reading to my little guy about the solar system – his new passion!

also love the thought of the retro kiss and tell suit! although a tankini is likely more my style these days!

Something I’m happy for? The warmth of spring is finally here! Looking forward to the summer and all that this time of year has to offer. Thanks for the giveaway!

I’m happy I got some exercise in today. Even if it was only for 20 minutes!

Popina rocks!

I’m happy that my sewing project is almost done and I can go to tango tomorrow night. 🙂

I feel happy about spring sunshine! Love Popina!
