Happy 4th Birthday Malak!

January 26, 2019
Another year has flown by yet again, I can't believe you are 4 already and starting school in September! Every day that passes you are getting smarter than the day before and the things you say sometimes are absolutely amazing. I love you to the moon Malak and hope this birthday was everything you hoped for and more.

Having just entered into my 9th month of pregnancy I knew this party would be a bit of a challenge nonetheless I didn't want anything to get in the way of Malak's birthday (since she talks about it all year). Thank God everything came together beautifully and Malak was a happy camper.



This year Malak chose a Pokemon themed birthday party. I thought that it would be simple as its so popular now (again). The thing with Pokemon items is that they are expensive! But that's never stopped me before, I enjoyed a lot of the DIY games put together and early planning to avoid disappointment. I ordered plates, loot bags, napkins, banners, straws, birthday hats and noise makers from Aliexpress months in advance since their shipping takes on average 2 months via free shipping. The main colour on those items are blue so I had to incorporate some other colours so I chose red and yellow.

A lot of customized work can be done on your own with Microsoft word and some coloured printed. You can make Thank you tags for the loot bags, water bottle labels, invitations, labels for the food, and more!

For games I found this amazing website full of free materials perfect for parties, play dates, and other interactive events. I found this website on Pinterest  look through it and see all the amazing resources it has (you'll thank me later). I also found Bingo cards on Pinterest so I printed them off, stuck them onto cardstock and made little Pokeball Bingo markers that I laminated with laminating sheets from the Dollarama.

 


I stuffed the loot bags with some Holiday chocolates, mini bubbles, bouncy balls, noise makers, and those little things kids like.

I couldn't have done them without Malak's help of course :)


As an extra take home I printed off some "Pokemon Trainer" certificates and framed them for each kid to take home! Loved the idea and the kids loved having something with their names on it. Found this beauty below on Google:

For food we have an abundance of it (as usual) including pizza, tabouli, chicken nuggets, french fries, chips, pop, custard, pineapple dessert, fruit salad, eclairs, suksay (lazy cake) and more!



Now for the cake I found it odd that neither Loblaws nor Metro did Pokemon cakes even though it's super popular right now. Since it was too late to put in for an order anywhere else I decided to get my creativity on and make a birthday cake! Malak has tons of Pokemon toys so decorating a cake shouldn't be too bad, right? I already had everything I needed to make cake and some supplies to decorate including a piping bag, food colouring, and sprinkles of all shapes and sizes.



All of our amazing friends and family bought Malak some amazing gifts! We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! We showcased some of the lovely gifts on Crafty Malak so be sure to check them out and give us a follow. Thank you to everyone that came out, wished Malak a Happy Birthday, or who had us in their thoughts.

Happy 4th Birthday Malak! Love you to the moon and back!

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...

Trip to Sweden: Landskrona and Höganäs

It has been a while fellow bloggers since I just got back from my month long trip to Sweden! I shall be writing all about it in the next few blog post entries. My husband has three brothers who all live in Sweden and we were far overdue for a vacation anyways. Mind you this is the first time traveling with my husband in a plane and first time with kids of my own. I will be writing a post of traveling with kids on its own. Our flight was a direct flight from the Toronto airport to Copenhagen, Denmark. We were told it is faster to take a train from the airport in Copenhagen to Malmo then taking a plane to Stockholm, Sweden which would be at least a 6 hour drive from where my husband's brothers live! We arrived at around 10:20am. Upon our arrival to the airport we picked up our bags, bought a ticket for the train, and jumped on the train. Booking and board the train took the most time for us. The train took less than 15 minutes from where we were to get us to our first stop which wa...

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!
