How Much to Pay Your Sitter

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/06/how-much-to-pay-your-sitter/

The first time we hired a sitter for our daughter, I was clueless. What was the going rate? Should I order her dinner? Do we tip? via GIPHY After quite a few texts back and forth with my mom tribe, I settled on a rate that felt fair — and decided to order pizza for her and round up the total amount. And it’s worked well ever since. Although, sometimes I do wonder if it’s the best thing … or if I’m over- or under-paying for my area. via GIPHY Which is exactly why this infographic from UrbanSitter is so…

Healthy Obsession: Watermelon Everything

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/06/healthy-obsession-watermelon-everything/

Summer came on fast and furiously here in the Washington, DC area — as it always does. And right on schedule, I found myself standing in the produce aisle on my weekly trip to the grocery store drooling over the watermelon stand. Nothing says summer like watermelon. But here’s the funny part … when I was younger, I was so not into watermelon.

Our Feet Rise and Fall Together With Brooks Running

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/06/our-feet-rise-and-fall-together-with-brooks-running/

The 2018 Special Olympics USA Games are right around the corner — and I’m so psyched to say that I’ll be there for the start of the games, along with my fellow Brooks Running blog ambassadors, because Brooks is bringing us all out to Seattle to be part of the cheer line. And that’s exciting to me on several levels. For one thing, I get an incredible amount of joy out of cheering people on. If you’ve never grabbed a spot at a race and screamed your lungs out for total strangers, you’re truly missing out. But also, I’m enormously…
