Lil'Tummy in Kosmo!

I received a call one fine Saturday evening from a lady.
She said she was Kosmo.
well, I didnt jump straight away.
I knew she would want to ask something related to the event that we participated in.
Probably how to spell my name, etc.

but then, she asked whether she could meet me. 
she wanted to know more about Lil' Tummy and myself.
How it started, how long have I been doing this etc.

I was like.. what? me? Lil' Tummy?
i mean, we are barely breathing.hahaha 
i dont have customer based, and I am actually kind of lost there somewhere.
hahaha
but, of course I said yes.
come one, free marketing, who would in the right mind would decline kan??
(even though I am faaaaar from ready)

The reporter, Cik Zu, came the after that, i.e Sunday. 
I didnt know what to expect, what to say, what to wear!
i knew i had to wear black though.hahahahaha 
it was all last minute. even the children got ready while the interview session happening!

It was fun. it was mostly on me, and how i started this, why i wanted to do this.
the girls even posed for the pictures. 
i demonstrated on how the meal was prepared, but it was not more like halfway there.
but the girls pretended to like them nonetheless.
talk about acting!
for me, i just hope i didnt look fat. or chubby.
gosh my cheek!

Amna was like always, cheeky as she has always been.
always wanted to be by my side. and Ayra knew enough how to behave, especially when the cameraman asked her to pretend and pose. 
And little Amal was busy sleeping!
(thank god for that!)

we even invited a 'customer', who is the baby of my cousin.
well, she is considered my customer since her mothers buys from us!
hehehe
so, the little cute debob Irene was in the paper too!
front cover of Pesona!

in case you missed it, please have a look below:



look at Amna's cheeky face!



this is nothing much. or big.
I am very sure, there are other brands of homemade baby food that deserve this more than I do.
they have been in this business longer time than i am.
i am still a newbie, slowly building up my brand, and customer base. 

but nevertheless, i am thankful to Allah for giving me this opportunity.
this is His gift. out of the blue. from the sky.
haha
Alhamdulillah...

ever since then, the business has started to kick off well.
not great, but well enough.
and i am forever grateful..

I am now a busy mumprenuer.
day time junggling my task of being a mom and businesswoman.
taking orders, arranging for delivery, answering calls,
marketing and promoting and making sales.

we started with 5 purees, and 4 level 2 meals.
and we have now added 2 more desserts, and 2 more meals for 8M above.

i am excited.
i do hope this gets better.. 

something i can be proud of, my girls would be proud of, and
mostly, something healthy to feed the children.
cos, every children deserve the best right?

xoxo
Chef Mommy!
