I have been going through my boxes of beads one at a time with lots of ideas and colour combinations coming together. One of my favourite things to make though are my rainbow tasbeeh’s (rosary) because they are one of the things I make that people really like to receive as a gift and that […]
I am a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction and this book seemed to appear in a number of top ten/best of type lists, so I really wanted to take a look. The Road is the story of a father and son who are travelling through America ten years after a major disaster has hit the country […]
I recently posted about joining a Quranic Arabic course with the ustadha that runs the Arabic Gems website. I say recent, but before I knew it, fourteen weeks had passed and we were at the end of the first term. This meant two weeks to revise before sitting a vocabulary and grammar test. In the […]
We recently refurbished the first floor of our home and added a second floor by making bedrooms in the loft. It is the most work we have had done since we moved to this home 14 years ago and it has been an utter pleasure having clean rooms with freshly painted walls and flooring instead […]
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 […]

As the school year ends and my children’s days of learning turn into a final week of parties and play-days at school, my attention has been turned back to their learning and education. Two weeks ago I had school reports for all three of my children and the difference in them surprised me and has […]
My neighbour commented a few weeks ago that we had not had an Eid party this year and they were usually so much fun. We’ll it doesn’t take much to convince me. I messaged my family and neighbours, they happened to have the following weekend free and I invited them to a Ladies Lunch and Princess […]

Her next task is to try and find the names for the following: I recognised daisies, dandelions, buttercups (easy!), Queen Anne’s lace, will have to try […]
