This month, Sittercity will be introducing Sittercity Perks, a completely free online resource for our members, featuring tons of discounts and rebates on goods and services from companies including Target, Disney, Banana Republic, Overstock.com and AT&T, just to name a few.

$30 off Bluefly.com? 35% off movie tickets, plus free popcorn? 50% off USA Today? Yes, yes and yes.

We'll let you know as soon as Sittercity Perks launches, but keep your eye on your My Sittercity dashboard for a link to your own personal perks page.

Explore Education Issues with Real Savvy Moms

Many experts say that our nation's schools simply aren't making the grade. With American students falling behind in math, science and reading, two dozen other countries can claim higher test scores in at least one of these areas -- maybe more.

Real Savvy Moms, a website dedicated to supporting and empowering busy moms, can help you sort through these education issues with their upcoming WebCast, One Nation Left Behind. Tune in on October 9 as Real Savvy Moms sits down with Crystal Harmon of The New Teacher Project to answer your questions LIVE and explore what's happening with American education, why and what we can do to address it.
