Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
as suggested by Umm Raiyaan masha’Allah I’ve bought the du’as card from Learning Roots alhamdulillah. I was surprised ’cause lately my shopping online experiences haven’t been so …. we can say… “happy” LOL!
I’ve received the cards in 2 days masha’Allah and finally been able to stick them around the house alhamdulillah! As soon as I’ve stuck the first one in the kitchen, I’ve seen my oldest son showing interest to it… all those colors and arabic writing…
And yes, it’s true, they are very helpful for us grown up too alhamdulillah! So, if you want my opinion too…. buy them insha’Allah!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I still remember the first time you looked at me… and now you look at me with those “naughty” eyes mashaAllah!
The first time I saw you I cried, I cried a lot subhanaAllah! And I cried for days and nights. I remember waking up during the night and have tears and tears coming out from my eyes, I couldn’t stop them… and when I think about it, I remember it as a dream, a bitter sweet dream… Ya Allah! Your tests! And we never appreciate! … alhamdulillah!
I spent months reviving my imaan, putting my trust in Allah, making some du’as that, as a Muslim, I had never made before… but still, I knew, I knew that Allah was going to answer them, I believed that! I did indeed! I just needed patience and more patience mashaAllah!
Months before (“the test”) I asked Allah to increase my imaan and the imaan of my family… and so He answered.. Allahu Akbar!!

How is everyone? It seems everybody is busy with something or doing something or somewhere else masha’Allah! Umm Ibrahim back from England masha’Allah (what a pity we didn’t meet…. ok so I’ll have to go to KSA then 
), recipes posts are back on The Muslim Wife Kitchen… and here I still had the ‘Eid post! SubhanaAllah!
The thing is that I really can’t find a moment to sit down and do what I like, to translate, to organize my blog and add the ‘foodie’ section I have in my mind insha’Allah 
(even if I have problems with the pc and couldn’t pass pictures on it…. so what’s the point of having a food section without pictures.. 
– so it’s on stand by at the moment).
Kids are growing masha’Allah and driving me crazy learning every day. I really wonder what language almuhjahid #1 is trying to speak…. almujahid #2 is just fun tabarakaAllah! He smiles at everybody… not my character that’s for sure LOL!
And while I just cook , bake and try to find a ‘hands free’ moment for myself, I hope to receive the baraka from Allah and leave this country… for a while, for ever… just leave.
jazakhum Allahu khayran
A bag full of…

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
few days ago I had some free samples of baby food, a bag full of stuff! The first thing I thought was “great” but then I opened it and I ended up keeping just 2/3 items subhanaAllah 
Yes, it was baby food but LOTS of those ready meals (do they call them like this for babies as well???)
… they also gave some fruit, well it said 100% pure fruit but… I couldn’t do it, I felt guilty I mean, I have time to cook for my son or to make some nice fruit pureè or something like that so why? To be honest with you, for a second I thought about keeping the fruity thing but then… I put it away, alhamdulillah!
Sometimes I think I’m too strict, specially when I see other babies around me masha’Allah… do u think I am? :/
Ah, I would also like to link a post I read some time ago, written by Fatima in her blog masha’Allah: Amazing Motherhood
When toys can be “halal”

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Last Sunday we’ve finally bought some “more” toys for my son, alhamdulillah! I was feeling so sorry for him. Other kids, children of some friends, have lots lots of toys mash’Allah and my son was having his usual “2″ toys. Some very basic ones: some colored rings (similar to those in the picture) and another one made by different materials and shapes.
I’ve been waiting to buy some more as I couldn’t find some ”halal” ones. Well yes, no music or faces and stuff like that. I’ve been looking everywhere, also at the “Learning Centre” store but nothing…. and too expensive subhan’Allah!
Well, (insh’Allah) Allah rewarded my patience and my “wish” to give my son the right toys alhamdulillah! We bought at the Carboot Sale on Sunday!!! For 1£ each! And my son and I love them ! (even if it looks I do more than him 
) I know, Ines would tell me “You see!!”. I’ve never thought that Carboot Sale would be so useful mash’Allah 
Here the toys we bought mash’Allah!
And they are all wooden ones… my favourites mash’Allah!
