Happy Muslim Mama: Playing at Mama

It was nice having the last few days off. Waking up at a sensible time, making sure the children have had a proper breakfast, dropping and picking them from school, keeping up with housekeeping, getting some much needed rest and spending time playing and cuddling with my little one.

I even managed to pick up my new cookbook and bake some cookies, I would say in true Martha Stewart fashion, but I burnt them a little and they turned hard, so not the perfect housewife yet.

I realised last week I was starting to look haggard which was bothering me, so I have been trying to take better care of myself. I’m back at work now and everyone has noticed the difference. Insh’Allah I have next week off and will be making the most of it as well as fitting in a little Eid prep (lots of pictures to follow). It’s the first time I have taken off so much time from work during Ramadan, so this will be a treat for me insh’Allah. My mother-in-law and brother-in-law are also going back to Pakistan next week, so there will be that change to adapt to as well.
