I will just start off by saying that I am so happy to be inside, it is so unbelievably hot out today.   My little corner side desk is looking pretty appealing right about now.  And on another note, TGIF, it’s been a long week. 

            Today we are revamping our SMS business cards, updating social media (obviously) and sending out the weekly birthday cards to all our summer babies, (even though most of them aren’t babies anymore.)

            Last night Amanda had a meeting with the New Albany Business Connections women at Tailfeathers boutique in New Albany.  Owner, Katharine Butler Elliott, is always a gracious host, with wine waiting upon arrival!

            Amanda had an amazing time with these women and got loads of inspiration.  She also got some great ideas for her press kit from the trendy and innovative Brenda Khoury, owner of Small Helpings, who we previously featured on our intern Blog a few weeks ago.

             So, that has been our afternoon, we are busy piecing together the press kit, along with returning emails, and making phone calls. The list is never ending really!

It’s Monday! The weekend flew by, as usual.   Now it’s time to get back to work.  We are sending out birthday cards to all our SMS kids who are one year older this week.  Hopefully it will be a nice surprise, who doesn’t love receiving mail? We are also busy creating events on our Social Media sites and trying to maneuver through the confusing Facebook world.  I didn’t know there were so many different options for one simple task.  What’s a girl gotta do to create an event and invite some friends? Apparently a lot.  Amanda and I are not exactly tech savvy but we manage, somehow. 

            Our big project for today is creating a rough draft for Amanda’s press kit.  We are doing some research and trying to pull it all together. 

On another note, Amanda is obsessed with magazines and saves all of them for me to read, I have a stack sitting next to me.  It’s tempting to catch up on all the celebrity gossip that has happened as of late.  But that will have to wait.

After a brief hiatus from posting, (Summer is officially in full swing) the intern blog is back in action!
We are making lists and checking them off! The to-do list today involves plenty of paper work, finishing some birthday announcements, Twitter updates, and Facebook posts.   Thank God Amanda picked up a few Starbuck's iced coffees to help us crank through some of this work, a little caffeine boost should do the trick!

We just booked our Calendar's for the committee meeting on August 18th,  and the Nonprofit (Simply Friends Forever) launch party that is coming up later next month on August 25th.  Stay tuned for updates in the upcoming weeks, we have so much exciting stuff coming up towards the end of summer! 

Also, Amanda and I have been chatting about the new updates on the website.  There are so many changes that will make scheduling and confirming sits so easy! I'm really excited for all the updates and I'm sure all of you are to.

Keep in mind that our SMS mandatory meeting for sitters is closely approaching. Sunday, September, 18th.  Be sure to stay tuned, we will announce the location in the coming weeks. 

Im off to finish checking things off this list! 

I hope everyone is having a great summer,
