Guest Blogger Day - Raspberry & Cream Frozen Delight Dessert from That's What Che Says
Good Friday morning! I hope you all are staying cool in this
sweltering hot summer we are having. I was
going to ramp back up with My Favorite Things Friday Party today, but decided since
I won't be available next weekend & then school starts back, it would be better to wait. I
plan to jump back into my weekly parties & regular posts again starting in September. So mark your calendars :)
Today I would like to introduce you to the creator

Hello everyone! I’m Cheryl, pleased to meet you! I live over at That’s What {Che} Said, a blog filled with a bit of everything! Crafts, DIY, Photography, Mommy Rants and Humor! I’d love for you to stop over and say hello! My door is always open!
I am so excited to be here today to share with you this AH-MAZING recipe for a Raspberry & Cream Frozen Delight Dessert! It’s so easy but gives the illusion that you spent ALL DAY crafting this gourmet dessert! I love things that take me no time at all but make me look fabulous :)
Here is your ingredient list:
Add the container of raspberry sorbet and spread evenly in the loaf pan. Set in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
While that is in the freezer, mix the instant pudding with the cup of cold milk until it’s thick and creamy (about 2 minutes). Then lightly fold in your container of cool whip.
Remove the pan from the freezer and add the vanilla layer right on top of the sorbet spreading it around evenly and making sure you fill the corners of the pan.
Return to the freezer for at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve, thaw on the counter for about 10 minutes. Gently pull on the aluminum foil and remove from the pan and turn over on top of a plate or platter so the raspberry side is on top. Garnish with fresh raspberries. Use a sharp knife that has been soaking in warm water to make 1 inch slices! Enjoy!
Thanks to Cameron for having me today! Be sure to stop over to my blog and check out my DIY Color Block Dresser up-cycle! I am getting things ready for my craft room reveal! You can also find my tutorial on how to create this funny newborn onesie or download my free printable for Road Trip Bingo if you have a vacation coming up! It will be sure to keep your kids occupied…for at least part of your trip!
You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter!

Congratulations to #31 Emily!
I wanted to run my giveaway again but this time through
Rafflecopter since last time the first 2 selected winners, never replied back to my email
informing them of the win. Since then I have used rafflecopter
& have had no problems with people claiming to have done certain entry requirements
when really they had not.
Thank you to all of you who are honest & play by the rules!!
On to the giveaway!
TO ENTER - (mandatory)
Follow Me Publicly through Google (gfc located on my sidebar)
(no other entries will count if you do not publicly follow as this is a Giveaway for my readers)
(additional entries below)
1 lucky reader of Stay At Home Nation will win the following:
Have you ever wanted to know where your family really came from? Ancestry.com is THE place to begin your search. I was able to locate all the information(in a matter of a few months) that it took my brother to research through libraries & records over the course of a year, plus I even found more!
It really is neat to look through the actual records of past family members to see when & where they came from. I saw my great grandfather's military records & while I had some of the information, it was interesting to input it & see the matches that ancestry.com pulls up. It helps to fill in the gaps when you do not know all the details, plus it puts it all in one place. There is SO much information documented in their records from birth & death records, military, census reports, and so many more resources to help you put the puzzle pieces together of your family's past.
Ancestry.com is giving away an Annual Deluxe Membership Package valued at $299.40
There are so many features & resources to this membership package-you are going to LOVE it!
There ya have it, another awesome giveaway-this one will run for 2 weeks & is open to U.S. residents.
Enter with the form below.
Thank you
&
Good luck!

Recently I received 3 t-shirts to review from Cotton Age.
Stick around because one of you will win your choice of 2 t-shirts for yourself!
My son reviewed the "Skull" t-shirt
The first thing I noticed about these shirts were they were so soft!
Being white I could see through them easier than most but my 13 year old didn't mind it one bit. He tried it on so we could compare fit before & then after being washed. He liked it right off the bat plus it fit him
perfectly! After I washed it(and tumbled it in the dryer) the shirt seemed to fluff up & get even softer.
I would be willing to go out on a limb and say it's one of his top 3 favorite t-shirts now.
Next up was the "Game Over" t-shirt, which I selected for my husband to review
Isn't it cute? Funny too.
So when Geoffrey tried his, he mentioned that he didn't like that it was so thin. The thing that got him the most was that the inner stitching was itchy. Although once I washed it, he said the stitching was softer & the he actually like the fit better after being washed.
I thought the double stitching was a great added detail as it keeps the seems from coming apart as easily.
I tried out the "Are You Perfect" tee
I agree with my husband that these shirts are thin, and while I do not like it when you can see my white bra straps through a white t-shirt, it is a very comfy shirt.
It is a little tighter fitting than I like but that only further pushes me to drop this extra
baby weight I've been holding on to for over a year. (Stay tuned as I will be posting my progress in future posts) This shirt is a certain addition to my pajama drawer =)
Shipping was quick, & the package came with the shirts individually wrapped in plastic. There was
no funny plastic or dye smell to the shirts right out of the box, which is a plus! These shirts stayed
pretty true to size after washing & drying too.
Cotton Age is offering TWO of my lucky readers any shirt
($9.99 & under )of your choice!
Enter below through rafflecopter & GOOD LUCK!!
While you're there try to find a mystery box full of goodies, it's located under a sub category. All you
have to do is find it & place it in your cart, then check out. How simple
is that right? There is no purchase required & shipping is only $2.99!
Also, keep in mind that if your purchase is over $50, then shipping is free!
Thank you again to Cotton Age for sponsoring this giveaway!
