TIP, IN THE NEWS and RESOURCE - Looking for a Baby Sitter?

Want to go out alone with your spouse on a Friday night? Need some free time alone? Want to go workout at the gym every other day?

But alas, you can't find a babysitter! And you don't want to ask your parents (again!). And you don't really trust that high school kid down the street. Well, it turns out that there is solution. Check out this newsclip from Today Show about a service provided by a company called SitterCity:

www.sittercity.com connects you to a babysitter in your area. You can interview the babysitter candidates, get referrals, etc. I had no ideas this type of service existed until recently.

Have fun Friday night!
