Happy Muslim Mama: Eid at Mum's

I had an absolutely lovely second day of Eid with my mum. Again, I planned to take pictures of her delicious food, but was too busy stuffing my face to remember. I had fun hanging out with my sisters and watched lots of Simpson’s cartoons. I also ast with my gran who was poorly.I was awake early in order to drop Little Lady to school (they only got one day off and she was NOT happy) so baked my mum some cakes. They looked good, but didn’t taste very nice for various reasons (wrong ingredients, overcooked, undercooked etc). I advised my parents to just look at them.

I wore an outfit I bought for my brother-in-law’s Mehndi do in Pakistan earlier this year(it’s traditional to wear yellow, red and the khaki-green colour of dry henna).

Fashionista bought me the book I was hankering after (Martin Lings’ Muhammad – His Life Based on the Earliest Sources) and Long-Suffering Sister bought me a nice swarovski bracelet as it’s well known that I have a weakness for pretty shiny things.
