Hey all! My name is Maureen, I am 26 and was born and raised in Watertown, Ny where I now have a family of my own. I have been married to my husband for two years and am a step-momma to three incredible kids! I am a full time school social worker and part time cookie artist! After the unexpected and sudden loss of my father over a year ago I started looking at life a whole lot differently. This event caused me to reevaluate my own life and accomplishments. If I died suddenly would I be happy with my life/ accomplishments? Did I fulfill my passions without fear and hesitation? At that time the answer was no and I knew instantly I needed to do something to change that. Growing up, I never really knew what I wanted to do for a career. All I knew was that I had a passion for helping others and wanted to make a difference in some way. This passion lad me to my career as a school social worker. I love my job! But, I knew that their was a creative side of me that I was not utilizing and I would regret it if it was something I never tapped into. And thus my life as a cookier began! I never imagined or dreamed of starting a business of my own. In the beginning it was for me. Baking and creating edible works of art became my therapy. Sitting at my kitchen counter, in the quiet, creating without distraction or limitations for me there is no better feeling. People quickly started reacting and responding to my work with an enthusiasm I never expected! And thus, Mo’Cookies Please was created! To see the work that brings me so much joy do the same for all of you is truly an honor and a feeling that cannot be matched or recreated. I cannot thank you all enough for your incredible support through my journey! Tomorrow is never guaranteed, so starting living today as if it your last.
