Hurricane Sandy - Auction To Help

Lauren, from Tutus and Tea Parties, has put together an auction to help benefit those affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Take a look below to see how you can help:)


I want to thank everyone participating in running & donating to this auction. It really means a lot to me and everyone affected by the Hurricane. Today's auction will be found here and you can bid in the comment section of each post/item.

There are a variety of items up for grabs including products, ad spaces and gift cards. Some are available worldwide, some only to US; some are free shipping and some winning bidders will be required to pay shipping. You can use the labels on the side of this page to search around for what you might want to bid on.

I will be accepting donations until Wednesday, November 14th. If you would like to add an item to the auction, please fill out this form and I will get it posted as soon as I can.

The auction will end on Sunday, November 18th at midnight. All winning bidders will be contacted by email by Wednesday, November 20th. Please do not bid if you have no intentions of paying for the item. All money will be collected through PayPal and donated to Occupy: Sandy Relief NYC. I have been following them on Facebook (as well as other relief pages) and found them to be super helpful in reaching out to communities, not only in NYC, but in other areas of need. They are the one's delivering & collecting items and physically reaching out to those who need help. I feel like the money raised would do loads of good there.

Hurricane Sandy - How to Help!

Lauren from Tutus and Tea Parties does not live too far from us here in NY, so when I found out she was doing something to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, I knew I definitely wanted to be a part of it!  Many people here in our little town are still without power - it has been over a week!!  Read on to see how YOU can help and be sure to come back on Sunday for the auction!!



It's heartbreaking to hear of tragedy, but it really hits you hard when it's in your own backyard! We were so fortunate to have had no damage (other than some down trees like the one in the photo), but others lost family members, homes, cars, and so many memories. I would love to set up an auction as a fundraiser to help heal those who have lost so much.

Do you have something you'd like to donate? It can be anything from a handmade item to ad space on your blog! Please take a moment to fill out this form. The auction will be posted here on the blog on Sunday November 11th and will be open for a week. All the proceeds made from the auction will be donated to Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts. 

I'd like to thank the other wonderful ladies helping to promote this fundraising event:

Preschool Snacks

This week I was charged with providing snack for my daughter's preschool class:)

Rather then just sending in a couple of boxes of crackers or cut up fruit I decided to make it a little more interesting!  After much searching on the Internet and Pinterest this is what I came up with...

Monday:  Rainbow Fruit
Cut up Strawberries (red), Cantaloupe (orange), Pineapples (yellow), Melon (green), grapes (purple) and arranged in the shape of a rainbow.  Added mini marshmallows at the end as clouds! 

{I didn't realize until after I got home from the store that I forgot the blueberries!!!  But I think the kids forgave me:) }

{Inspiration here}


 
Tuesday: Butterfly Snack
Filled up half of a snack bag with goldfish and the other half with Triscuits.  Tied a pipe cleaner around the middle and curved the ends to look like antennas. 


I actually made a slightly different version in June, but since she has a different teacher and different classmates, I thought I could do it again!!

 
Stay tuned for the rest of the weeks snacks!!
