It was the kids first day back at school and Little man’s first day full-time at big school about which he has been pestering me all summer. I thought I would give them something to take with them. I had to make them quickly after fajr (dawn prayer) with whatever I could find. The gasp […]

As I currently seem to have time on my hands (a rare occurrence), I thought I would keep my hands busy. and my mind occupied. I made a rainbow tasbih (prayer/dhikr beads) for my mum-in-law last year and she loved it and used it loads until someone asked her for it. I knew she wanted another one, […]

I have long adored henna and every now and again have ago at creating a pattern, Little Lady also loves the stuff and harasses me into drawing a new pattern on her hand as soon as the previous one has worn off. I loved the idea of being able to do this well, but don’t […]
Rainbow in the Grey Sky recently wrote on her blog about her struggle to decide whether or not she should have a television in her home.When my husband and I moved into our first home together seven years ago we thought we should do one good thing that we could stick to in our new […]
I kept seeing this book in the best-sellers section of my local W H Smiths and thinking what a curious title and assuming it had to be some kind of red herring. I ended up with the book in my winter reading stash and eventually decided to make a start on it.The book is about […]
Little Man and I are having a daily moan-fest at the moment. He wakes up and moans at me, I listen and try not to get annoyed. I come home from work and he moans at me a bit more, I’m a bit more wake at this point (marginally) and listen and try to be […]
I am usually careful with my work leave, spreading it our over the year and saving some in case of emergency, but this year for some reason I have ended up with two weeks of holidays whilst my children are on Easter holidays. It could not have come at a better time, with work so […]

The Ninety Nine Names of Allah by Muhammad Iqbal Siddiqi is a book I have had for many years and have often picked up in times of need or worry. My version is covered in post-its flagging names I want to come back to or have found have helped me. Over the last few days, […]
I was feeling a little bit whimsical and self-indulgent (not to mention broody) this morning so decided to put this post to celebrate motherhood. This is dedicated to all my expectant sisters (pregnant women make me feel all tearful) especially Hijabi Apprentice, iMuslimah, Jilbabble and hopefully soon Big Sis. I found this article and it […]
