NICE CREAM ICE CREAM
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 | Our Best Advice | Comments Off
pint sized happiness is just a spoonful away
We love finding JOBS for Cooks and Chefs who also trick kids into eating healthy. Kids can be fussy eaters and a promise of ice cream always helps. (see our other great TIPS here). We know that despite being able to make delicious sweets, sometimes Chefs simply don’t have enough time and need backup for a last minute meal.
TIP – Kris Swanberg started making ice creams for friends and family after receiving an ice cream maker wedding present. A year later, small batches of NICE CREAM was born, hand-creafted creamy goodness in pint sized servings. Organic raw ingredients come from local farmers purchased within a 100 mile radius (go LOCAVORES), combined with goodies available from seasonal changes. A perfect offering as a specialty dessert or gift if you wish to be creative but avoid the work.
Kris' Nice Cream Ice Cream
Order strawberry short cake in the Summer, Lavender Vanilla Bean in Spring, sweet potato with toasted marshmallows and pecans in the Fall, and a whiskey flavored pint for adults to get you through a Chicago winter. Some of our VIP clients on tour need a quick local pick me up, they’ll ship special orders, and if you have an event or party, they’ll create specialty flavors just for you.

MOTHERS DAY – 2010
Thursday, May 6th, 2010 | Our Best Advice | No Comments
Audrey Hepburn with son Luca
We place Top Nannies with some of the most Famous Mothers in the world, who care for children while moms are actively engaged in demanding careers. Nannies often become second mothers to these kids, yet few people know that many of the great ladies of screen and stage considered children the most important part of their lives. Four-legged companions are part of the family sometimes becoming equally famous, like Asta in The Thin Man series, a perfect gift for Mothers Day.
Many of the women we’ve placed on jobs over the years also had demanding careers with motherhood, a tough challenge. My mother Dora had to do it with four kids. She was always the center of our lives, keeping us together as a family with unwavering dedication.
mother Michelle Obama with her famous Family
Two famous mothers who had top household staff were Audrey Hepburn (with two sons she raised away from the spot light), and Grace Kelly, who also raised her children abroad. Hepburn’s son Sean wrote a book memorializing his mother that your Mom might enjoy. She remains an icon inspiring women of all ages and one of the most loved actresses in the world. Books are my favorite gifts.
First Lady Michelle Obama is very close with her mother, Marian Robinson, whom she considers the “rock” central to their family’s world. With a staff of 24 taking care of the First Lady in The White House and her public service role, she still remains hands on with her famous girls. Her story would also make a great gift. Read it In Her Own words.
GRACE by Robert Lacey
Princess Grace had the dream of little girls to become a princess come true, with a life devotedly followed by fans worldwide. Despite the tragedy that entered their world her grown children remain a resilient group, carrying on the legacy she left behind. The book Grace also makes a great gift. Or you might prefer the life of a Queen like Cleopatra, who married at 18 for her Country as the “daughter of great Kings” and took over the throne of two kingdoms, holding women spellbound with her story for centuries. Any of these are perfect to put on a tray for Breakfast In Bed, followed by a great family outing for you mother. Or you could spring for a Kindle (with a hot pink cover) to download those wonderful free e-books. Don’t forget chocolate! Try delicious tasty vegan chocolate truffles from Nicobella.
All of us at ISA are so very grateful to have my Mother, Dora Renet, in our lives. She’s everyone’s favorite “Mom”, and undeniably the Greatest Mother In The Universe! It would take more then one book to fill with decades of remarkable stories and the stellar qualities she embodies, and the tremendous respect, appreciation, and admiration our clients hold for her. There is nobody who comes close to Dora, or the legendary contribution she’s made to the domestic help staffing field. We love her more then words can express!
Send us your TIPS or give someone Our Best Advice. ISA shares your heartfelt appreciation towards celebrating all mothers everywhere, and wish you a Happy Mothers Day too!
