Father's Day Crafts

Happy Father's Day to all of the terrific dads out there!
Our go to guide for looking for cute father's day crafts was Pinterest. It is full of everything worth looking up! Malak is going to help me make crafts for her daddy and grampa and my little sister Shatha is going to making some crafts too! Since Malak is still a young the cutest crafts always contain footprints and handprints, after much debate this is what I decided to make.

For Grandpa we did a framed picture and it turned out adorable!
For supplies we used cardstock, pencil, markers, pencil crayons, paint, frame, bow, and Malak's cute little hand :)

If you would rather do it on a canvas instead of framing by all means go right ahead, be creative!

Another option if you don't like your writing is you can use letter stickers or stencils to make pretty letters.


After that I outlined the letters to make them nice and dark.



This step requires tons of help we got paint everywhere. I should've done it while she was sleeping or used marker to make the print. Oh well the hard part is done.

I chose to colour the letters with pencil crayon while Malak was playing, it helped to calm my nerves.
Here is the finished product put into a frame and topped with a bow. I added some glitter glue on the hand print after the paint dried just for a little bit of sparkle.

For the next craft we wanted to make a father's day card for Mohamad. Here is a cute and very simple card to make. What you'll need is paper, scissors, marker, and some cute little hands to trace.

I started out by tracing Malak's hand onto a piece of pink cardstock. I did one hand while she was sleeping and cut it out, traced it, and cut out a second one.
Here are your two cute hands. Next I outlined the outside in black and wrote I Love You on the hand I want to face the front which was the left hand. Outlining is optional, do what you like.

Here they are. For the next step you will need a second piece of cardstock that is a different colour.


On the long side of the paper cut out an inch wide strip and write This Much on it. Fold the paper accordion style as this will be the connector piece between the two hands. Glue one end to each hand.

This is the final product. I love you this much <3

Last item we did for Father's Day is that we did a mini photoshoot for Malak at home to gift to her father. We printed the pictures and framed them and gave them to dad. Here is a preview of the shoot.


Those are our cute Father's Day crafts! What did your kids make this Father's Day?

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...

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!
