2018 Summer Reading List

Hello fellow bloggers,

I feel like it has been a while, I have a few drafted pieces in the works but I want to work harder to committing to a blog deadline. Anyhow, I have made a goal to read more as I usually don't do any leisure reading. As a Library Settlement Worker I work for an organization but am situated in the library. All of the library staff are great and they are always reading on their breaks and frankly I am jealous as I can't ever get my head that into a book. The irony is that I am an English Language and Literature major (oops). This is where my goals come into place.

I am creating a summer reading list based on other suggestions I have heard in person and all over the internet. I am going to list a bunch of books and see if I am able to fully get through or at least make a dent in the list by the end of the summer. If you have any suggestions for any great reads please leave the name in the comment below. Here we go:

2018 Summer Reading List 
  • The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood
  • Othello by Shakespeare
  • So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
  • The Odyssey by Homer
  • Brother by David Chariandy (One Book One London Choice)
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
  • The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli 
  •  New Boy by Tracy Chavelier
  • Mythos by Stephen Fry 
  • A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini 
I am going to try my best to commit to my reading list, my problem is that I start out inspired and then I just give up all at once. Hopefully not this time.

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

You read the title correctly: 2018 in Cupcakes! Looking through my Instagram timelines and sliding through my phones pictures I noticed we made a bunch of cupcakes throughout the year. 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...
