This week on the intern blog I am writing from home.  I took the week off from interning to visit family in my home town of St.Louis.  It has been so relaxing, and the weather has been great! This past few months has been super busy with school and work and it is always nice to have some time off.   Now, down to business.  This week, Sitting Made Simple is featuring a business that is aimed at helping busy parents on the go.  Are you getting stuck in a rut when it comes to being creative with your kids meals? Its often hard to give your kids nutritious meals that are also delicious.   We have just the solution! Small Helpings was started in 2009 by Brenda Khoury.  Her focus is to give busy moms on the go a weekly meal plan that is healthy and geared towards your kids!  For only $9/month, you can receive customized weekly meal plans, easy recipes and shopping lists. Small Helpings has even gone international and their meal plans can be accessed all over the world! The website has great tips on everything from picky eaters, to potty training, food nutrition and eating out.  Signing up is a breeze, simply go to www.smallhelpings.com, click the "Lets Get Started" box in the middle of the page.  We hope you find this as useful as we did!  Don't forget what a great gift this would be at baby showers!

Be sure to check back next week with more updates and helpful tips.  I am off to take my puppy for a swim! Have a great weekend!

Interning at Sitting Made Simple

Hello World! Sitting Made Simple has been expanding at a rapid pace. In order to keep up with the growing demand for expanded social networking, we have decided to start a blog! Morgan will be interning over the next year, and is going to keep this blog updated along the way.  We hope you will follow as we document a day in the life of a sitter and intern.  We will update the blog with information about our expanding services, our non-profit launching this fall and our updated website that should be completed in July! 

Day 1: 6.14.11

First day of interning is in full swing!  It was a bit of a challenge navigating the New Albany roads and after a brief detour I finally arrived.  I was greeted by Amanda's three hyper pups, after a brief introduction to Theodore, Sammy, and Zoey it was off to work.  We started the day off with a recap of the days plan.  I started to research some blog options, update our facebook and twitter accounts.  Amanda came up with some creative ideas for birthday presents for all the SMS children.  Those of you with a birthday coming up, get excited for your gift in the mail! Check back to our blog in a few days,  there will be a new post on an upcoming business that has started here in Ohio to help those busy moms on the go!
