I often hear sisters whinging about their husband’s. It’s very rare for women to say their husband is wonderful, is enough for them and does enough. Sometimes, I think they just like to moan and sometimes I’ve met their husband and I can’t blame them for complaining.To be fair, the standard set for Muslim men […]
Like my previous fruit-themed cards this set of cards was made with the DCVW Sweet paperstack. I like very much the idea of food-themed cards and have used the papers as sparingly as possible, so hopefully there will be lots more.
Most of us have been ill the last week, Little Lady with a nasty ear infection and cold and the boys and I with colds that have left us with nausea, sore backs, temperatures and headaches. It helped this morning when the boys let the girls sleep in and cleared up downstairs and made themselves […]
I was raised in a generation where girls were being told that if we worked hard enough we could be equal to men in the workplace. In tandem with this the traditional work of women – housework and childrearing was relegated to non-work, or at least work that was not valued as equal to work […]

I got a phone call from my middle child’s school this week asking me to come in. I asked what it was about and they said not to worry. For a brief moment I did entertain delusions about being called in for a good reason, such as he being recognised as some kind of child […]

One of the toughest aspects of modern life for Muslimah’s right now is marriage – or lack thereof. I know so many sisters who are looking to marry and are struggling for so many reasons. We seem to be a generation caught between the old way of doing things where our parents found someone vaguely […]

This weekend one of hubby’s friends from the masjid wanted to visit a boot fair with his wife and daughter, so he invited me to come with them. Little Lady was still awake from fajr (dawn prayers), so invited herself along too. I have only been once or twice this year, so was very keen to go. We […]
The Good Finding the perfect outfit for Eid (hot pink, silver and pearls). Being bought another outfit by Long-Suffering Sister (turquoise, silver and diamante). Finding 6 bunches of flowers for £5 in the market, in the colour’s of my Eid décor. Finding the white tops I needed for Little Lady at market for £1 each […]
I enjoy listening to TED talks when I am getting ready for work in the morning or cooking. This one in particular caught my imagination: I like the idea that you do something for just thirty days with no pressure to go beyond that period and once you have done something for thirty dyas, then you […]
One of the most enraging and satisfying thing about growing up has been being one of four sisters (although we have a brother too) – all so different, all strong-willed and all forging their own paths through life.I look back at our childhood years and at us now with a smile. We always used to […]
