Need some blog help!!

I'm in need of some blog help, because well, I'm a bit technologically challenged.

First of all, I'm trying to figure out how in the world I can make my blog 3 columns. I tried googling to find some layouts, but haven't the slightest idea of how to "install" them on my blog.

Secondly, I want to make a "button" for my blog so that readers can add it to theirs. I was told I could make my own, but again, haven't the slightest on where to start.

If anyone has the time & smarts to help me out, please contact me . I would much appreciate it!!!!!

CHEAP Family Fun magazine subscriptions!

Family Fun magazine currently has an offer where you can purchase a year (10 issues) subscription for only $5! The "catch" is that you have to buy 4 subscriptions, for a total of $20.

After flipping through a co-workers copy, I decided to purchase 5 subscriptions (including one for our house): 2 bloggy giveaway winners, the kids' daycare, and a friend. Go here to check it out!

FREE nursing cover!

***DISCLAIMER***
First of all, let me start this post by saying that by posting this in no way am I even hinting that I think nursing mothers should cover their little one. However, when I was doing so in public, I did, but only because I was too clumsy & self concious to nurse without being covered.

Udder Covers is offering a FREE nursing cover when you enter code ONEFREE. You will be responsible for shipping charges (I think it's $7.95). From my understanding, there are only pink & blue left.

Brag

I have to take a minute to write this quick post about my son, because he totally floored me this morning on the way to daycare.

He'a a HUGE fan of trucks, any kind of truck really, but especially fire trucks/ambulances. We were talking about fire trucks this morning, and I asked him how we called the fire trucks, fully expecting him to ask me "How?" back as his answer. Nope...he said "9-1-1" My jaw dropped to the ground, and then I grinned ear to ear, telling him how proud I was of him, and asked who taught him that. I figured they must have discussed it at daycare, but nope, he said his daddy told him. Then, we drove by a billboard that had the numbers 2-1-1 on there, and he pointed and told me that was 9-1-1, so I had to correct him, but was still excited that he recognized the numbers.

Now I guess I need to teach him our address just in case he ever does have to call 9-1-1.
