I'm still here! Still a mommy, still an expat --- Happy Birthday to MyExpatMommy too!:)

Hiyee pipol! Yes I have not left Qatar and have not left you my dear readers. Thing is, the schedule had been so tight the past month with all the kids' activities and a little bit of a project I have launched. This is something so close to my heart and although it isn't really a very big thing, I really hope to be successful in it, well, as they say, if you are going to get into a business, you make sure that it's something you really love doing! And you guessed it right peeps! It's all about food, Food, FOOD! :)
Well, it really just started with the chocolate chip cookie post, everyone in the family loved it that when they have brought them to work, it also became a big hit. So I got to thinking if it's that good that somebody would be willing to pay for it. And as they say, the rest is history. I have been spending most of my time at home baking cookies and have also added chocolate crinkles to my repertoire (which I will also be posting the recipe, soon i hope!). They have all been selling like cupcakes. 
And now for the kill! LOL! With the help of our Expat Nanny who has been very effective in her marketing, we were able to get some small catering project in school. It all started during the AIS UN celebration, at the time of the school's preparation, the canteen was not operational so the parents are a bit concerned that they and their kids would go hungry during the day itself. So after talking to the principal, we have been allowed to sell food during the event. Unfortunately, during the day itself, the canteen was opened! But, then it didn't stop the parents to purchase from the stock we have brought to school. Wow! that was an inspiring start, sold out!
With that, our Expat Nanny had also proposed to cater the food for the kids during their Eid Party, so we have printed some kiddie party packages so that they wouldn't need to bring food to school anymore. And what do you know, we have immediately received a booking for a birthday party too! Wow! that was fast! So from there, we have been receiving orders here and there, of course not so big yet... we are just starting. But they are good enough for us. Pancit bilao, fresh lumpia, puto, kutchinta, the works! And I must say I am having so much fun! I get to cook all I want, and at the same time earn from it! Isn't that the best? So there, My Expat Mommy's Food Services have finally been launched! 
Now I am calling to you fellow expat moms, to support me in this endeavor, for orders you may email me your contact information at myexpatmommy@yahoo.com or Like My Expat Mommy on Facebook and post a message on the wall, and I will get back to you immediately :) 
Ooops! Before I forget, My Expat Mommy had just turned 1! Happy Birthday to me! LOL! and to thank you readers for keeping this site alive, watch out for Giveaway Goodies post to win prizes (well of course all prizes are the expat mommy's best selling goodies!), who knows you may be lucky enough to get a taste of the goodies others have been paying for!
