Playground Review: Indoor Tubes at Rock Creek
It’s a chilly, rainy day, and I’m about to go pick up my kindergartener, who will be wound up from spending the entire day inside. Meanwhile, the thunder is keeping my three year old from taking a nap, so he’ll be whiny and crabby without some serious diversion.

Who’s Your Nanny?
Ok, so maybe you don’t need a nanny – just the occasional sitter – or maybe you’re looking for someone specifically for New Year’s Eve. I wrote an article for the local paper about finding a sitter for New Years, and I thought I would share my research with you. After all, if your resolutions include doing anything for yourself (and they should) then you might need someone to entertain the kids so they don’t realize that it isn’t all about them. If you don’t have a sitter lined up for New Year’s yet, you’re not alone. Sittercity, a website dedicated to matching parents with caregivers, receives more requests for New Years Eve babysitters today, December 29th , than on any other day of the year.
