Happy Muslim Mama: Preparing for Ramadan

It seems early to mention it, but we have only a month left to the most blessed month of the year. For some reason this has been on my mind for the past week and I have been thinking about preparation, both physical and mental.

The Sahaba would spend six months of the year waiting for Ramadan to come, and the other five months recalling the blessings of the last Ramadan and worrying that they had not made the most of it.

We have our wonderful Eids which we celebrate, but it seems to me that Ramadan, although a month to reflect, is also a cause for celebration, a mercy, an opportunity and a blessing.

I think the most important thing is to get our minds in the right place to make the most of this time, take as many blessings as possible from it and for me, teach my children about it.

A request. I would love to see your ideas, posts or any links you come across to Eid and Ramadan activities, crafts and inspiration. I’d be grateful if people would kindly leave their comments and links.
