Happy Muslim Mama: Sweets and Sweet Words

I was in rather a foul mood a few days ago and shouted at the kids, something I hardly ever do anymore. Not long after this got slipped around the door and there was the sound of giggles and a horde of imps running away.

Those are sweets on top of the paper.

These kids know how to get me where I can’t resist:

I had to call them all back and give them a hug and kiss and tell them their apology was accepted.

They even salvaged a slightly melty bit of chocolate to put inside the card). I like how she signed it “Salihah and the others” where she ran out of space.

After a horrid, stinky, stressful week, the kids apology really helped me to put things in perspective and think about whats important.
