<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lauren, from <a href="http://www.tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tutus and Tea Parties</a>, has put together an auction to help benefit those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Take a look below to see how you can help:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquC9Z8NwEr5TmP3GSKuhMb-yOLWOmaBrh2jTn3XWa4prAI8Jn4Yy8cf0khxpbIQ42vEiWepYmoGgT0hTrkxI_EHJMUQ9zVzyRjWRAJEpsXK7mTE5qNIP0Zo06C1Nwun3ABKTApaUV8rhu/s1600/Auction+for+Help.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquC9Z8NwEr5TmP3GSKuhMb-yOLWOmaBrh2jTn3XWa4prAI8Jn4Yy8cf0khxpbIQ42vEiWepYmoGgT0hTrkxI_EHJMUQ9zVzyRjWRAJEpsXK7mTE5qNIP0Zo06C1Nwun3ABKTApaUV8rhu/s320/Auction+for+Help.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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 <a href="http://onesigningmama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a> and you can bid in the comment section of each post/item.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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 <a href="http://onesigningmama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">this page</span></a> to search around for what you might want to bid on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will be accepting donations until Wednesday, <b>November 14th</b>. If you would like to add an item to the auction, please fill out <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEozbXNqYV9BSzFZdkdweW9KMkVFWFE6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">this form</a></span> and I will get it posted as soon as I can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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 <a href="http://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/" target="_blank">Occupy: Sandy Relief NYC</a>. I have been following them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OccupySandyReliefNyc" target="_blank">Facebook</a> (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.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lauren from <a href="http://www.tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tutus and Tea Parties</a> 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!!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">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 so<span style="font-size: small;">me down trees like the one in the photo)</span>,
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.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Do <span style="font-size: small;">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 <b><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEozbXNqYV9BSzFZdkdweW9KMkVFWFE6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">this for</a></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEozbXNqYV9BSzFZdkdweW9KMkVFWFE6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">m</a></b>. The <span style="font-size: small;">au<span style="font-size: small;">ction will be posted here on the blog on <b>Sunday November 11th</b> and will be open for a week. All the proceeds made from the auction will be donated <span style="font-size: small;">to Hur<span style="font-size: small;">ricane Sandy <span style="font-size: small;">Relief Efforts. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

This week I was charged with providing snack for my daughter's preschool class:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Monday:</strong> Rainbow Fruit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">{I didn't realize until after I got home from the store that I forgot the blueberries!!! But I think the kids forgave me:) }</span></div>

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. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Truth be told, I have actually been thinking about it all year long after reading <a href="http://whilewearingheels.blogspot.com/2011/10/reformed-halloween-grinch.html" target="_blank">this post</a> by Amy from While Wearing Heels {one of my favorite blogs}!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just made one mistake! I should have followed ALL of her directions and made the headband too!! I opted for hairbow clips instead as after asking my little chicken if she would wear a headband like Grace; I got a very stern "NO". AH well, I guess you live and learn....<a class="GFUQPS5BCIB blogg-title" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=224227934064959627#allposts" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 170px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: middle; white-space: nowrap;">♥</a></div>

Hi everyone! Sorry for taking a break from our blog but we're happy to announce that we're back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of exciting things have been happening these past few months. I (Cortnee) had a baby! She's now 4 months old and really starting to develop her personality. I'm back at work and trying to juggle that with my new family life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We hope all of you are doing well and had an excellent end of summer/beginning of fall. We will definitely be blogging more so stay tuned for new stories about our little ones!</div>

Before we were married, the hubby and I used to go camping with his family around this time of the year. One night I was looking back at my old photos and came across this. We went to the lighthouse in Montauk, climbed to the top and I snapped this picture. Love how blue the water looks!</div>

Did you miss our tips last week?!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well....we are back!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/Banner/techy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/Banner/techy.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Truth be told, I am finding it more and more difficult to come up with more "tips" each week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully, <a href="http://winterwonderingswanderingswhatnot.blogspot.com/2012/07/whatnot-family-reunion-1.html" target="_blank">one wonderful gal</a> asked a question: How do I get my button and grab box to appear in a post as opposed to my side bar!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here we go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Open up a new post and head to the HTML section.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Using the code we learned <a href="http://www.twosasters.com/2012/07/techy-tips-grab-box-for-your-button.html" target="_blank">here</a>, paste the button code and grab box code.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3:</b> Add the center tags before and after both the button and grab box code.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4:</b> Head back over to Compose and add in any information to your post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This sign from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bonnbonnboutique" target="_blank">Bonn Bonn Boutique</a> made me laugh out loud! How often do you put your little ones down for a nap and have the UPS man ringing your bell? It always seems like "perfect timing"! This would make a great present for anyone with little ones:)</div>

Happy Techy Tuesday!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/Banner/techy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/Banner/techy.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you missed it, last week we talked about <a href="http://www.twosasters.com/2012/07/techy-tips-buttons-part-1.html" target="_blank">how to make a button</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now let's add a grab box for your button so that others can take your button code and add it to their blogs too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgveYdVFjIyF3V4SVJjz9Cj85kp_vkAIHRLRRmoCzz6MiDZpJv-uCisUqlu4Fo5-9WTvmqZ9JrN7jF1YD_5ouI0sNryTCFFbpBm-5PXA2aNItRHwVLs7KfqFPodP-1KuU_mWKULcyhTVQU/s1600/techy1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgveYdVFjIyF3V4SVJjz9Cj85kp_vkAIHRLRRmoCzz6MiDZpJv-uCisUqlu4Fo5-9WTvmqZ9JrN7jF1YD_5ouI0sNryTCFFbpBm-5PXA2aNItRHwVLs7KfqFPodP-1KuU_mWKULcyhTVQU/s400/techy1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you remember from <a href="http://www.twosasters.com/2012/07/techy-tips-buttons-part-1.html" target="_blank">last week</a>, this is the code we used for our button:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><a href="<b style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: red;">http://www.twosasters.com</span></b></span><span style="color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;">"

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">To make the grab box code, copy your button code above <strong>AND</strong> add the following in <strong><span style="color: #6aa84f;">green</span></strong> before and after your code:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong><textarea></strong> <span style="color: black;">YOUR CODE HERE</span><strong> </strong></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong></textarea></strong></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">In my example this is what it would look like:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong><textarea></strong></span></span><a href="<b style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: red;">http://www.twosasters.com</span></b><span style="color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;">" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/USbutton.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b>height="125" width="125"</b></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;">></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong></textarea></strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">Using what we learned last week and our new grab box code above, let's put them together. {Note that your button code is listed twice because you want your button to appear on your site as well we be available for others to "grab" it as well.}</span></div>

If you haven't already met Lauren over at <a href="http://tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tutus and Tea Parties</a>, you should definitely head over there and get to know her! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lauren has been blogging for a little over a year now and recently decided to open up an Etsy shop called <a href="http://yourtitlehere.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Your Title Here</a> {maybe you remember from our feature on <a href="http://www.twosasters.com/2012/07/shop-handmade-on-mondays-linky_23.html" target="_blank">Monday</a>}.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/YourTitleHere" target="_blank">YourTitleHere</a> offers custom blog, shop and Facebook banners and buttons. Lauren can also make social media buttons, grab me buttons, blog banners with clickable social media buttons and more. If there is something you need and don't see it in her shop, she would happily work with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="250" src="http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/TwoSasters/JulyHop.jpg" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;" width="250" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am super excited to be co-hosting a Bloglovin' Blog Hop with Jenny from <a href="http://thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The NY Melrose Family</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">, Amy from <a href="http://www.whilewearingheels.blogspot.com/">While Wearing Heels</a></span>, <span style="font-size: large;">Pam from <a href="http://pamspartyplanning.blogspot.com/">Pam's Party Planning & Practical Tips</a>, Kristy from <a href="http://kristyscupofjo.blogspot.com/">Cup of Jo</a>, Carrie from <a href="http://www.myfavoritefinds.blogspot.com/">My Favorite Finds</a>, Megan from <a href="http://ourpinterestingfamily.blogspot.com/">Our Pinteresting Family</a>, Barb from <a href="http://www.secondchancetodream.com/">Second Chance to Dream</a>, Jacqueline from <a href="http://thedetoxdiva.com/">The Detox Diva</a> and Megan from <a href="http://www.shapinguptobeamom.com/">Shaping Up to be a Mom</a> for the month of July. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What's Bloglovin' you ask? Well, only the greatest way to keep track of the blogs that you love. With the discontinuation of Google Friends Connect, I decided that I needed to find another way to keep up with all of my favorite blogs that are not hosted by blogger. I signed up for Linky Followers and I've had great success with gaining new followers, but I’m finding I don’t get any traffic to my site from Linky. I also do not enjoy reading my favorite blogs from there. I stumbled upon Bloglovin' and I am in love! It is very similar to Google Reader, in that you can see the beginning of the post and the first picture attached to the post. Plus, Bloglovin' automatically updates your posts, unlike Linky Followers, which you have to manually update each time you write a new post. I don't know about you, but I just don't have the time to do that every time. Another added bonus is there is a Bloglovin' application for IPhone and Android devices. Woohoo! Like I don't spend enough time reading blogs. Now it's a simple touch. Love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">***These are the complete instructions for sign up, so skip to the rules if you already have Bloglovin'***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In order to participate in this hop you need to sign up for Bloglovin’. Go to </span><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Bloglovin'</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. Hit the green sign up button in the right hand corner. Next enter an email address and create your password. You will get a confirmation eamil that you will need to follow a link back to Bloglovin' to continue the process. Once you click on the link you will be brought to a page where it says to choose blogs to follow. You don't need to do this. Click next in the bottom right hand corner. The next screen let’s you know about the mobile app so just click next again. This screen will show that you are not following any blogs. Click on Account in the upper right hand corner and toggle down to widget. Choose the widget you want displayed on your page. Put your url into the search query and it should pull up your site. Click on your site and it will say display this icon. The next page should bring you to a screen that has you display it into your layout. Once you hit publish you’re done! If you view your blog you should see the icon and now your followers can add you to their Bloglovin’ feed. Seriously, so simple. So let’s get to the blog hop. This is a party so make sure to have some fun and mingle.</span><br />

I was looking over my past Techy Tips posts and realized I never did a post on how to make a button for your blog or shop!</div>
