Easter Hunt

Traditionally we do not celebrate Easter but Westmount Mall (London, Ontario) had a day planned for children for Easter and I could not resist taking my little girl. They called it an Easter egg hunt but it was hardly that. The London Rangers Baseball Team was in the mall that day signing autographs for the children, there was about six stations set up. Each station had a baseball player sitting and a container full of treats, after each signing children would take a treat and place it in their bag. There was an Easter bunny taking pictures with the kids and handing out treats and also a girl in a costume with the Salvation Army that was also passing out treats. Baby girl had a great time running around with her aunties and uncle but most of all she loves spending time with her grandma. I loved it! We got our signed poster and a bag of goodies which included pencils, Easter straws, pencil grips, an activity book, crayons, chocolates, and gummy eggs. I have to admit Malak was a little scared of the big bunny costume she just wanted to touch his face.

We spent the day at the mall with my two sisters, brother, and mother. We then went home and enjoyed homemade pizza as a family. It was a good day. At the end of the day family makes everything better, I am truly blessed to have such a terrific family always by my side.

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...

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!
