Spring Time is Here!



Now that it is officially Spring some good weather has come along with it! Just the other day I put Malak in her stroller and walked to my parents house, it took about 15-20 to get there but it was great! I got some exercise and Malak got to see nature all around her. She was amazed by the construction flags that were stuck into the grass, every time she saw one she would say wow! I want to commit to going on more walks this year and get out of this lazy phase that I am in. I guess my problem is that I do not like to do things by myself but things have to change if I am ever going to get out of this rut in my life.


My Spring cleaning is slowly getting done. I am cleaning out the apartment bit by bit. Today I scrubbed down the fridge and did my weekly whole bathroom cleaning. I finally got to that pile of laundry I have lying around a few days ago and man what a relief that was! The problem is that there is always laundry to do! Tomorrow's commitment is scrubbing the stove top and taking my clothing donation to the Salam Community Center. I have had my donation ready to go for a while but have been putting it off. They are moving locations at the moment so I still have time before they are settled into their new location. Next week's commitment is going to have to be rearranging the furniture and moving the couch out from in front of the balcony to be able to get outside!

One thing you have to get used in Canada is the weather, each day is different! One day it's beautiful warm and sunny but the next morning you could wake up to rain and freezing temperatures. Waiting for the real Spring whether to come and settle in.

Our work as mothers is never finished but you have to learn to prioritize and commit to working even if it gets done bit by bit :)

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!
