On the morning of my birthday my husband woke me up with a surprise to take us to the Toronto Zoo! I was totally excited I've never been before and it was a chance for us to spend the day together as a family. We packed up and left we were on the road by 9 and got to the zoo at about 11:30. On our way there Malak was pretty good until she got tired at about 11 that's when she got restless and put us through about 15 minutes of crying and whining until she fell asleep. The weather was beautiful outside it was about 21 degrees and the nicest part about going at this time was it wasn't as busy as it is in mid-summer. There was a lot of people but not nearly as much as the busy days so I considered myself lucky. I was most excited to see the pandas and the penguins. The pandas were the first things we saw since it was the only place with a line-up to see. A fter that we proceeded to walk throughout the zoo!

First off I would like to say congratulations to Ayah and Samer! We had a fantastic time! The work leading up to the wedding was stressful but it was worth it in the end. We were a little flustered with the schedule of the day but who doesn't have timing issues on their wedding day? I wore a red one sleeved dress with a sparkly off white shirt underneath and an off white and red hijab. I ordered my dress online off of AliExpress. Cleopatra Hijabs  did my hijab style with the two headscarves I brought with me I recommend her for all the Londoners who style for their special occasions. My sisters and I are always given the best service and are always happy with the way our hijabs turn out. You can see the side view of my style in the picture. I did my own makeup at home. My friend Barihan came and did my sister's makeup and boy did it turn out beautiful! She works at MAC and made time for us to get a trial done and then came and did the Bride's makeup at our house in the mo...

My sister Ayah is getting married soon and as a surprise to her I planned her bridal shower and invited her friends. It took place May 1st, two weeks before the wedding. The colour theme for the shower is pinks, white, and gray. Originally I was going to make it a Beauty and the Beast theme for her favourite Disney princess but it seems harder than a colour theme and I was on a budget. My sister Iman can over yesterday and did some baking, it took longer than expected to bake eclairs and cookies but they turned out beautiful. Here are Iman's not so famous eclairs, they always turn out delicious! They didn't rise as much as we had hoped but they are still very tasty.                                            Just some beautifully decorated sugar cookies! It was messy but th...
