Do you ever have those days where you have to try on several different outfits before leaving the house? Or are you like me and have those days, well, every day? That's why I love the new selection of styles that we now have on iVillage Connect to dress up our pages. They're easy to try on -- and easy to change to suit your mood. What? You haven't added a style to your page? Be sure to log in, then check the "Styles" tab in your "my Profile" menu. Word has it that the fabulous folks working behind the scenes have even more styles to add soon, so keep checking back to see if there's a style that is so very *you*.

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.

Hey there, parents and sitters! As you may have noticed, we haven't been posting many blogs to our group page here. Due to some slight technical problems, we have been posting our blogs on Sittercity's personal profile page instead -- which you may not have realized.

Sooo, here's an updated list of all the past blogs that you may have missed.

Jan. 29:  Dear Genevieve -- My daughter HATES having her hair brushed!

Jan. 22:  The Oscars of Children's Literature

Jan. 15:  MySpace Steps Up Safety -- And How You Can Too

Jan. 8:  Parenting Resolutions You Can STICK To 

Dec. 11:  Holiday Volunteering for Children

Dec. 4:  Find the Perfect Babysitter for New Year's Eve

Nov. 27:  Brief Guide to Age-Appropriate TV Time

Nov. 20:  Quick & Easy Leftover Turkey Recipes 

Nov. 13:  Involve the Kids This Thanksgiving 

And starting next week, we'll be back to posting all of our blogs right here, every Tuesday.

Feel free to message/email us if there's anything in particular you'd like to see or if you have a tough child care question you need answers to. After all, we're here for YOU.

Hope to hear from you soon!
