It doesn’t take much of an excuse for us sisters to throw a party, so the blessing of Fashionista Sister being pregnant filled us with joy and got us all planning. We did our usual routine of making a WhatsApp group and adding Fashionista’s friends and in-laws. We also added her husband and proceeded to […]

The abaya is just right for summer and I love the Moroccan style. I have seen someone wearing something very similar during hajj and […]
We have had guests from Scotland staying for the past few days, with seven of us and six friends (three adults and three kids) it has been a full, raucous and fun house. It came just as I was wondering what I could do with the kids and meant that they spent the three days […]
Sometimes it’s nice to have an easy-breezy, non-productive day where you can just go with the flow and enjoy the day. Yesterday was that kind of day, with my best friend coming to spend the day.

My better half had to tak the mother-in-law to hospital today, so all three of the kids were stuck inside all day. After work, I asked them to help me tidy up and we had a short Quran lesson after which I thought I would treat them to a garden party. After the last post […]
I am pleased as punch this morning after visiting Little Lady’s school for her Parents Consultation Day (at 8am in the morning!). I spoke with her teacher last year about her progress and although she was doing well with learning, her behaviour was causing concern. She was resorting to using her hands to get what […]

We live in the area between the city of London and the county of Essex and as a family love the coutryside of Kent and Essex in summer. Strawberry-picking, boot sales, country drives, the seaside and farm shops and markets are all things I am looking forward to this year (the fresh air also seems […]
One of Little Lady’s GCSE options is photography, so I knew she would be interested in a local photography exhibition by the Natural History Museum’s Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year. The boys love nature and animals and Gorgeous in particular is a fan of the Natural History Museum. We also managed to drag along Shutterbug Sister who […]
