It has been quite some time since I found a good thrifty haul (like this, this, this or this amazing craft haul), especially as the boot fairs I enjoy so much don’t start until near the end of March. So instead I made do with a trip to my local charity shop to hang out […]

I was asked by Heart Hijab if I would like to review some hijabs for them.  Heart Hijab sell a wide range of hijabs, as well as abaya’s and modest clothing.  They describe themselves as an ethical business who try to keep prices as low as they can, to support sisters with financial difficulties, serve […]

I wasn’t expecting to see any more boot sales this year as they usually start winding up around now as the mornings get darker and the days colder. The better half suggested this morning that we leave the kids asleep with the brother-in-law to keep an eye on them and see if we could bag […]

Subhan’Allah, there is so much to say thank you for right now:That we got to see the blessed month of Ramadan again this year. That we got to fast the 30 days of Ramadan. That we got to pick up some good habits and let go of some bad ones. That we spent time with […]

I finally got round to sorting out social media for this website.  I’ve had a few sisters taking the time to e-mail me, which prompted me to set up a Facebook page and add social media buttons to my sidebar so that I am easy to locate around the web. My Facebook page is here. […]

I have posted this before, but the last sermon of our beloved Prophet (Sallahu Alaihi Wassalam), delivered on the 9th day of Hajj at the plain of Arafat, never fails to move me to tears. Every time I read it, I find something new in it and every time I read it, I marvel at the […]

I was a bit wary of the way people would react to news of a fifth baby so I was fairly discreet about my pregnancy. I knew though that the people around me can’t resist a newborn, so I was looking forward to my family welcoming my youngest daughter and seeing what their reactions would […]
