Introduction to New Mommy Life

I have finally decided to start a Mommy blog about my experiences as a first time mom. I will start off with an introduction about my baby and I. I got married on September 29, 2013 to the man of my dreams. We are currently living at home with my parents with the intention of buying a house. Those plans did not work out for us we decided to go out and rent next month. Originally I did not want to have kids for a while and was opposed  to the whole idea. After I got married I started seeing cute kids everywhere and I started falling in love with the thought of having my own kids. I was working at the mall in Bentley Leathers at the time. That's when nagging my husband began and eventually he said yes. Having a kid all to yourself to love, play, and care for was all that occupied my thinking and I could not wait to have a baby.

My baby's name is Malak Mohamad Merai and she is now 5 months old. She was born on January 26, 2015 at 5:20am. She is the love of my life and I can not even remember how life was like before her. Although more sleep would be nice every once and a while. Just today she woke up at 6:00 then again at 8:30 then at 10:00, that's when I got up with her to play. Overall she is a very good baby just keep her tummy full and play with her. She sleeps well at night but is usually up at 8:30. She likes other people (opposite of myself as a baby). Malak loves water! Every once and a while we take her swimming and she loves it! Bath time is favourite time. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.

Of course no one is perfect so all I am here to do is share my experiences with the hopes of helping others. Hope everyone enjoys and feel free to comment possible topic ideas. Thank you!

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...

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...

Reflecting on 2020

 2020 has been a hard year on so many ways but the year also offered me many blessings.  I opened up the year with my daughter Malak's 5th unicorn themed birthday. Fares' Mario themed 1st birthday followed in February. I hope my babies have an amazing year ahead and lots of happiness and success in all that they do. One of my favourite things about my blog is reflecting back on it over the years and seeing the posts about the kids growing up. Before I returned to work from my maternity leave I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and what I had been conditioned to think to apply for a new job at another Neighbourhood Resource Centre. Although the job I initially applied for I did not get, I was super happy with the opportunity I was presented with. It was time for a change. At my new job I cannot believe what a drastic change I saw in myself. I was speaking my mind, offering my advice, giving my opinions and felt completely comfortable with myself speaking. Where had this pers...
