Spring Time is Here!

Now that it is officially Spring some good weather has come along with it! Just the other day I put Malak in her stroller and walked to my parents house, it took about 15-20 to get there but it was great! I got some exercise and Malak got to see nature all around her. She was amazed by the construction flags that were stuck into the grass, every time she saw one she would say wow! I want to commit to going on more walks this year and get out of this lazy phase that I am in. I guess my problem is that I do not like to do things by myself but things have to change if I am ever going to get out of this rut in my life.

My Spring cleaning is slowly getting done. I am cleaning out the apartment bit by bit. Today I scrubbed down the fridge and did my weekly whole bathroom cleaning. I finally got to that pile of laundry I have lying around a few days ago and man what a relief that was! The problem is that there is always laundry to do! Tomorrow's commitment is scrubbing the stove top and taking my clothing donation to the Salam Community Center. I have had my donation ready to go for a while but have been putting it off. They are moving locations at the moment so I still have time before they are settled into their new location. Next week's commitment is going to have to be rearranging the furniture and moving the couch out from in front of the balcony to be able to get outside!

One thing you have to get used in Canada is the weather, each day is different! One day it's beautiful warm and sunny but the next morning you could wake up to rain and freezing temperatures. Waiting for the real Spring whether to come and settle in.

Our work as mothers is never finished but you have to learn to prioritize and commit to working even if it gets done bit by bit :)

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track. Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the same colour they appear, it's a great opportunity to teach colours as well! These electronic bo

Happy 4th Birthday Malak!

January 26, 2019 Another year has flown by yet again, I can't believe you are 4 already and starting school in September! Every day that passes you are getting smarter than the day before and the things you say sometimes are absolutely amazing. I love you to the moon Malak and hope this birthday was everything you hoped for and more. Having just entered into my 9th month of pregnancy I knew this party would be a bit of a challenge nonetheless I didn't want anything to get in the way of Malak's birthday (since she talks about it all year). Thank God everything came together beautifully and Malak was a happy camper. This year Malak chose a Pokemon themed birthday party. I thought that it would be simple as its so popular now (again). The thing with Pokemon items is that they are expensive! But that's never stopped me before, I enjoyed a lot of the DIY games put together and early planning to avoid disappointment. I ordered plates, loot bags, napkins, banners, straw

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

“Is this not a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize.” – George Eliot Oct. 11, 2020 For all those that have not been to Niagara Falls in the season of Fall, it is a must see. Go and absorb all of nature's beauty, you won't regret it. The day was spent with the most important people in my life, my family. Just being in each other's company was a blessing in itself and to enjoy my favourite season in a magical place was absolute perfection. We started our drive in Niagara on the Lake, the colours encompassing the atmosphere were truly captivating. Reds, oranges, yellows, brown and green of all shades covering trees, grass, bushes and all of nature's delight. We saw people walking, barbequing, renting and riding bicycles, and just enjoying the day together. The real estate in Niagara on the Lake closer to the bodies of water are stunning! Almost every home had a balcony which is now on my wishlist, I might invest a pr
