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 :)

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!

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...

2018 in Cupcakes

So what better way to go over 2018 then to go through all the pictures of cupcakes I found? Let's begin! During Malak's 3rd Birthday party we all decorated cupcakes as one of the activities! The kids just piled on the toppings while the rest of us tried to make something cute hahah! Malak's birthday is on January 26th but we had her birthday part on the Sunday which was the 28th! We had so much fun at Malak's Paw Patrol themed party and I know Malak had a blast <3 More gorgeous cupcakes from Malak's birthday party with my nephew Karam staring intensely at them, all he wanted to do was grab one! I know they aren't cupcakes but I had to document the gorgeous Canada Day donuts that I picked up after July 1st! I made this a my nephew Karam's 1st birt...
