Despite my families grumbling I have tried to keep our iftars as simple as possible with the rule “no fried food” (this is followed by a filling meal after maghrib salah). It’s not easy to get away from samosa’s to open your fast, as my neighbours’ teens said when she tried to ban them: “If […]

Simple living and living more consciously have been two areas I have long been interested in, so this blog post called the The Secret Life of a Happy Homemaker I found via The Muslimah resonated with me deeply. It talks of slowing down and cherishing the things that we think of as chores by thinking […]

Little Man actually finished Quran last year, but with a new baby and my little sisters wedding, we pushed his celebration to a few months later instead. We had considered a day out for the family instead or a boys day out with his dad to somewhere like go-karting, but the horrible weather and cost put […]

I found myself with a quiet evening to have a go at making something that would go with my green and blue clothing. I use mostly glass beads and a few acrylic and clay beads, including some charm-type drop beads on metal hooks. This mix of colours are my favourite together. They would look nice […]
