Win it – a ONE-YEAR subscription to Sittercity!!

You probably know by now what I dork I am about reading user reviews about everything from car seats to socks. It’s sick, really. But wouldn’t it be awesome to be able to read user reviews about one of the most important decisions you can make – choosing a babysitter? Yes, I think that is verrrrry cool. Well now you can – and you can do it at a discount or for free (just keep reading).

Sittercity is a database of sitters around the country – they even have numerous sitters within 10 miles of my house, which is saying something, since I live in Nowhere, Ohio. Best of all, it takes the guess work out of finding one. When you join, you get access to their four-step screening process, comprehensive sitter profiles, access to background checks, and sitter video interviews. How cool is that? And did I mention that you get to read user reviews? Yeah, you can find out what other moms had to say. Pretty awesome.

In addition to babysitters, you can also find nannies, petsitters, dog walkers, senior caregivers, housesitters and tutors.

Thanks to Sittercity, we are giving away a year-long membership! How fun is that? Just leave a comment on this post by 10:00 p.m. EST on Friday, August 22. A winner will be chosen by random.org.

And all of our readers will receive 10 percent off a membership! Click below to join.

Weekly Winners August 10-16: Virginia Vacation Two!

Hosted By Sarcastic Mom

I just got back last night from my vacation to my parents’ house in Virginia (same place I went in June) and I have over 350 pictures to sort through, so here are just a few of my favorite shots from this past week! Hopefully I can share some more with you next week!

I’ll start out with the beauty in nature that surrounds their home.

This is the view from my parents’ porch:

Here is the view from the Buena Vista outlook off the Blue Ridge parkway, less than 5 minutes from my parents:

Otter Creek, just a few more miles down the Blue Ridge Parkway:

Deer eating corn in my parents’ front yard (my dad puts it out for them):

And now, some of the beautiful people that were there!

My parents. They are pretty much the cutest ever. My mom’s reaction when I showed her this picture was “Aww. We love each other!”

My little Sophie enjoying a ride on the porch swing and some cheezy puffs:

Joshua’s own cheezy puff face was pretty adorable too I think!

For some reason, Soph was playing with the tire on our friends’ truck. Then she caught sight of her reflection and showed herself some love!

More pics to come! Hope you enjoyed these. For more great photos, go say hi to Lotus at Sarcastic Mom and check out all the other Weekly Winners participants!
