I mentioned a little while ago, that I needed to clear out my craft stash as it just seems to grow and grow. So a few weeks ago I had a clear-out and made up some packs. The packs contain card blanks and envelopes, backing papers, stickers and embellishments. There are three and if you […]
One thing I love about my relationship about Little Lady is that we have great conversations. These are mainly about books, films, family, school, food and more books. But sometimes they are just about life and our perspective on things.One recent such conversation came about because she had been watching lots of hijab tutorials. I […]

After completing one application form after another in the last few weeks, I was finally called in to do a test on Monday (describe how you would plan a project to prepare a new policy within a three month timeframe). I managed to pass that and was told yesterday (at 5.30pm) that I had an […]
Orc’s is a fantasy novel set in the fictional world of Maras Dantia. When you think of Orcs, it’s very possible that you think of Tolkien’s The Lord of The Ring and this is exactly what this book is not similar to. The book is actually a trilogy, with all three novels in the series […]
I had an absolutely lovely second day of Eid with my mum. Again, I planned to take pictures of her delicious food, but was too busy stuffing my face to remember. I had fun hanging out with my sisters and watched lots of Simpson’s cartoons. I also ast with my gran who was poorly.I was […]
The term I use in this title probably sounds silly, but I am sure every mum must experience it at some time. Some days it’s just the fact that most shops have their aisles and racks so close the pram can’t get through without knocking half of the contents of the shop to the floor. […]
I don’t often go for science fiction, but some of the best books have read (e.g. John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids and Z for Zachariah by Robert C O’Brien) have been of this genre. I particularly like Post-Acopolypse type books – imagining what the world would be like after nuclear war. This book is a uniquely […]
Although we received tickets to the Paralympic swimming heats, what I really wanted to do was see the Olympic Park before it closed down for a year. There was lots of art installations and the venues to see, but I was particularly interested to view the various gardens. I really liked this waterfall. It was a hot day […]
As our (mine and my sisters) annual Eid party is coming up this weekend, we four have had a war-council to delegate work, costs and food shopping and preparation. We have all pooled our resources for gifts and prizes and I have pored over my loot-bag stash which I have collected over the year (long-live […]

We are all recovering from colds at the moment, multiple-month long colds. How I crave for the warmer weather!! I asked the kids to bring me a spoon for their medicine. I finished my prayer and turned around to find all three standing there with spoons at the ready. I think there is waaayy too […]
The second biome we visited was the Mediterannean Biome. The children were relieved to be out of the heat of the Rainforest and into the fresher feeling climate of this biome. This was a mix of Spanish, Middle Eastern, Mediterannean, North African and Californian plants and displays. Many of the plants reminded my Mum of […]
