Baby on the Way

I know there is nothing more exciting than finding out there is a baby on the way (if you want one), but don't go all crazy with the shopping just yet. Remember that there you will get tons of gifts if you have a baby shower and even after the baby is born. I have a few tips that you should keep in mind now and when the baby is born. 
 
1. Do not get too many new born outfits! Babies grow quickly after they are born, I know with my baby there are a few newborn outfits and onesies she didn't get a chance to wear. Just a few onesies and overalls should do the trick. Same goes with diapers they grow fast so don't get too much of the same size ahead of time.
 
2. There will always be and continue to be good sales even after the baby is born. If you splurge all at once and forget something you will get that chance again. Do not go overboard!
 
3. There are lots of sites you can sign up for and get free samples. I signed up for Huggies, Nestle, and Similac and got lots of great samples from all of them. With Huggies they sent me a package of newborn diapers, a bag, changing pad, and a small pack of wipes. Nestle sent me Good Start formula the individual bottles kind and the powder. When she turned four months they sent me a pack of rice cereal too! They also send along tons of coupons for you to use!
 
4. When your baby is born the most important thing is to trust your own judgement! In the end you know your baby better than anyone else and you know what is best for them. Even if you are a first time parent, like myself, we do have a motherly instinct that shows we know just what to do.
 
5. Before your baby is born and even after try to get some relaxing time to yourself. Making a baby is hard work and that hard work continues after they are born. Sometimes all you need is a few minutes to bring it back together or even a nice relaxing bath. In the end you know it is all worth your efforts.
 
Hopefully these tips are helpful to you and I cannot stress out to trust your own instincts. Mothers know best :)

Ramadan 2020: Preparations and Resources

Just under a month to go for Ramadan 2020! This year I have put together a nice '30 Days of Kindness' Calendar for Ramadan for children with the help of parents/guardians to follow earn some good deeds this Ramadan. Please feel free to pull and print off and if you would like an emailed PDF version just contact me and I would be more than happy to send it. I printed many copies and will be delivering to friends and family with children that I think would like to do this.   In the past I have tried to do a more festive Ramadan month to put some Barakah back into the month and have it be a joyous occasion for all. It is especially important for children because it helps instill that love of the month for them from a young age. Especially growing up and seeing the temptations of other Holidays and wondering why we don't do anything fun for Ramadan or Eid? Simple decorations and preparations like hanging some lights up across the window, lanterns placed around the...

The Shatha Show

I am helping my sister Shatha with her new YouTube channel called The Shatha Show. The videos star Shatha opening surprises, reviewing products, or just having fun in her day. We would appreciate thumbs up on the videos and some subscriptions. The Shatha Show They are kid-friendly videos appropriate for all ages. Shatha and my daughter Malak both are guilty for watching kids open surprises on YouTube so we thought it would be fun for Shatha to do her own videos. We are open to suggestions and would love to see some interactions on Shatha's channel. Stay tuned for more videos! Our goal is for once a week but we will see how that works out for us :) Thanks all!

International Women's Day 2019

Happy International Women's Day to all the strong, hard working women all over the world fighting to be heard. Think about women everywhere today; the ones who fight every day for basic rights, the ones who die just for a chance to be heard, about the everyday woman struggling to balance work and family and often neglecting her own self-care. Think about your mother. The strong woman who has raised you, put food in your belly, and smiled through her own hurt and pain so you never have to see that inside she is crying. Women of all shapes, colours, sizes, eras are just so amazing. Today's blog post is dedicated to a very special little girl in my life and that is my daughter Malak. I know in my heart that she will grow up to be a strong, confident, and intelligent woman who will make her whole family proud. I'm watching you right now playing on your iPad and sucking on that lollipop (note to self: get Malak to brush her teeth later) and I can see all the wonderful potentia...
