Happy First Birthday Malak

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL
January 26, 2015 5:20am

I cannot believe it has already been a year and what a beautiful year it has been. This year has been challenging, rewarding, and so new. I have been taking care of my own baby watching her grow this past year and being with her through her first words, first tooth, babbles, and now her first birthday. I love you so much baby girl and I know you will always make me proud!

For Malak's birthday party I invited my family over and my best friend, just a small, tight-knit group. I decided to make it a Minnie Mouse theme since I was in love with Mickey as a child and thought it would work! Everything is pink and oh so lovely :)

The morning of we had her cake smash photo session. I thought it would be better to get her dolled up and do it in the morning and leave the evening to food and family. Such a sweet little princess, she would not smash the cake though! I took a piece of it myself though hehe!

I only have two games planned for the evening since Malak is too young for any of it I thought I would entertain the fam. The first game I did is Guess Her Age, I glued pictures of Malak on bristol board at different ages of the year. Whoever guesses the most pictures right gets a prize. The second game is is guess how many kisses are in the jar and the winner gets the jar. 

For food we had pizza, hot dog rolls, chicken nuggets, french fries, perogies, and tabouleh. Along with jello, creme caramel, chips, popcorn, suxai, and eclairs. Mmmm! Delicious! With the birthday cake I prepared a chocolate fondue with fruit and graham cracker tray for dipping. The birthday cake was a simple Minnie Mouse cake from Loblaw, chocolate flavoured.

She got lots of amazing gifts from our great family. She got a snow suit, dress, tennis outfit, baby and stroller, lalaloopsy, stuffed penguin, Rarity stuffed pony, and another stuffed pony, and more.

I had an amazing time and I could not have hoped for a better turn out. There was lots of food leftover and all of the family had a good time. That's all I can ask for. Love you baby girl, happy first birthday!

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...
