8 Ways to Prepare an Overnight Babysitter

My husband and I are celebrating our 5-year anniversary this weekend and he surprised me by booking us a hotel right here in NYC for a little staycation. I don't even remember the last time that we had a weekend to ourselves, so needless to say, I'm pretty excited. But before I head off into a much-needed weekend of relaxation, I have to find and prepare for a sitter (luckily my sister lives in the same city).
