Well, we're only four days into the month and we've already had some AMAZING things happen over at Sittercity.

March 1: iVillage Quiz - Is your babysitter organized enough? 

In accordance with iVillage's March theme of "Get Organized!" Genevieve created a quiz for all the iVillage moms out there to help them determine if a potential babysitter is organized enough for the job. This quiz reveals the subtle signs and nonverbal cues that tell whether or not your potential sitter is one you should actually hire!

Click here to take this month's quiz. 

March 3: Sittercity appears on the Today Show (again!) 

As the iVillage Babysitting Expert and, of course, the founder/CEO of Sittercity.com, Genevieve spoke with Today's Natalie Morales about how to hire a babysitter. She discussed three recent trends in babysitting, gave a timeline for hiring and explain a quick and simple screening process that will help make sure you hire a great sitter.

March 4: Sittercity is featured on The View

Looking to live like the stars -- but on a budget? In the segment "fabulous for fabuLESS," a well-respected professional concierge shared his secret for helping parents find a celebrity-worthy nanny without the hefty price tag: Sittercity.com! The video isn't up yet, but we'll post a link to it when it does.

If there's one thing that I can't stand, it's hotel coffee. Most hotels seems to have in-room coffeemakers and from a practical point of view, I guess this is a good thing. The whole cleanliness thing makes me cringe -- I think it was one of those Dateline type undercover shows that videotaped housekeeping using a dirty towel to wipe out the carafe. Blech! Same thing for the glasses and coffee cups, btw. So, if you're going to use them, wash them out yourself before using.

We do a fair amount of traveling and this cool little Bodlum press will soon be mine. Yes, I will travel with my own coffee beans, thank you very much....and if I could get away with it, a grinder as well. (Remember the scene from City Slickers when the coffee grinder started the stampede? LOL)

The inside liner is glass, but the clear outside liner is acrylic, so it will travel well with a bit of padding.
