Lil prince is almost 6 months and we've finally decided it's the right time to take him exploring. We are going to stay at The Cove Rotana in Ras Al Khaimah. The last time we stayed away from home was at my cousins place when he was about 4 months old. He brought the house … Continue reading How to Staycation with a little one

UPDATE: The finished post had been resting in my drafts for 2 weeks now !

I've never traveled anywhere before but I was very keen and sure that if I ever do , the first place I would visit would be Switzerland. That's why when I got married , I made sure that my husband also understands that he has to take me to Switzerland first ! Now that we are back , … Continue reading Switzerland 🇨🇭 – The land of gardens and chocolate ! Part 1

Rashi boo’s bedtime routine consists of a bath , changing into pjs and then reading a book with us. Last night we read this book and let me tell you why it was perfect! ____________ The book introduces parts of the body , opposites ( happy & sad, good & bad, morning & night ) , action verbs , talks about feelings and nature phenomenas and most importantly the idea of Allah’s love and care. Thus making it a perfect book to teach so many things to babies and toddlers. _______________ Adapted by Yasmin Mussa @learningroots I got it from @overbookedatm collection of books. . . . #Kidsfriendly #thingstodoindubai #kidsindubai #familyfriendly #dubailife #parenting #mumsindubai #motherhood #milestones #trendingnow #dubaiblogger #uaemums #dubaimommyblogger #dubaimums #babiesofdubai #babyfriendly #dubaiplaces #islamicbooksforbabies #islamicbooks #bookrecommendationsforbabies

April marks the month I began to blog, a year ago ! I was 7 months pregnant and desperately looking for a hospital in Dubai that had a natural approach to birth. I started blogging mainly to learn. So these are some of my tips for anyone looking to blog seriously:. . 🔅 Be authentic !! Your audience can sniff out a phony person , copied work and pretend blogger almost instantly so be as you are and that alone will attract your tribe. 🔅Don’t hesitate to make your own opportunities. One thing I’ve learnt is no one knows what you want or is probably waiting for you to ask. So if there’s a brand/ blogger you want to collaborate with , just go ahead and ask. If you get rejected it’s okay, it’s part of the process! 🔅Being a blogger is a lonely space. While you may have thousands of followers, it can still be lonely and you can feel misunderstood many a time. So make friends, lots and lots of friends. They are many people/ bloggers feeling the same way as you, try to connect with them. 🔅Stand your ground. It’s important to set rules for any collaboration or anything that you do in your space. If something doesn’t stick with your principles, time to opt out. 🔅A brand is contacting you , promising you something ? Good ! Now get that in email form. Don’t believe the DM’s. 🔅Blogging is 20% creativity and 80% marketing so community over competition. That’s the only way you’ll make it. 🔅 In this space, you really don’t need the help of anyone, your work is your forte and if it’s good , people will come to you. 🔅 Use your free platforms wisely. It can be instagram , wordpress , facebook , twitter and even youtube! Have fun with it. 🔅 Challenge yourself, better yourself ! If there’s something you think you can’t do , it’s time to do just that. 🔅 Write down your ideas. It’s the only way you’ll out it out. No idea is a bad idea. 🔅 Have a schedule for when to post , how many times a week and stick to it. 🔅Don’t give a soul to those rude/ mean comments. Not everyone has to like you, most people are struggling to like themselves, so why expect them to like you 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🔅 Enjoy 😉 a great , thrilling experience is what blogging is ♥️ #bloggingtips

This is for every new mother or anyone who cannot fast this Ramadan, it helps put things into perspective. I was heavily pregnant last ramadan and had to miss all of my fasts. This year, I’ll be fasting my 10 month old for 15 long hours in an average temp of 45C.Thank you summer! _____________ If I wasn’t able to make it , I’ll feel guilty to yet again be sacrificing my personal spiritual goals to the never-ending demands of motherhood. I’d be missing the opportunity to get close to Allah for that one month, when I had always struggled to find that closeness for the remainder of year. _____________ In giving you children and health challenges, Allah isn’t taking you out of the game, He is raising the bar. Things were easier when you were young, single and carefree. But on ‘mother mode’ , You’re pulling double shifts: the red-eye suhoor to taraweeh schedule, in addition to the 9-5 school schedule. you’re busy feeding people and simply struggling to get enough rest to survive another day. There are guests coming over so please make two dozen samosas. Also, the baby is crying. Oh, and the kids need help with their homework. And can you please iron this? Thanks. ______________ But wait There’s a bright side. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. In the same way that a person who struggles to read Qur’an is rewarded more than one who reads it without effort -the person who fasts with great difficulty will be rewarded more than one whose fast is easy. If you’re a young mother and you’re frustrated with balancing maternal responsibilities and missing spiritual goals, you’re not alone. You should not be sad, you should actually be honored. Allah decided you’re ready for the next level, and your duties as a mother are not a distraction, they’re actually part of the plot. Also Remember that the doors of tawakkul, Qu’ran, sabr, sadaqa, ihsan, and iman are still open and they all lead to the same place -nearness to Allah. You will have to work harder, and plan better to be able to reach the same spiritual goals that everyone else is, but Allah challenges us directly in proportion to our abilities, so trust that Allah knows you’re up to it.

~~~*I love you so much that I want Jannah and not the world for you *~~~ A friend passed away recently and healthy as she was , no one imagined she would fall ill and pass away in just 5 days. ______________ The Almighty says, "When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward," (16:61) _______________ This incident moved me deeply and reminded me of another incident my mum told me about when I was 14 . A highly educated, rich young man on his death bed asked his parents,” You’ve educated me well , you gave me all the riches and expensive gifts but what have you given me for my Akhirah ? “ This one question affected me deeply and that night , I looked at my baby brother with tears in my eyes, and promised him “I love you so much that I want Jannah for you” ________________ Moving 10 years forward, I now have a child of my own and I won’t lie , I do get lost in the luxury of providing him different things but death is a great reminder. There is so much more to bringing up a child than the school they will go to , the job they will hold one day , the car they will own , the house that they should have but how many of us think of fate beyond that ? As parents, have we forgotten for ourselves and our children , what is truly important ? The constant rush of changing lifestyle and social media doesn’t help either. There’s always someone providing better for their children than you and it’s okay to want the same. But is it necessary for your children ? Also is it more for us or for them? We keep providing and providing until we loose ourselves and our children moving them far away from what’s really important. Let’s not be those people. _____________ I promise my children , I will love you so much that I wish Jannah for you. And i will do anything to guide you towards it. Ameen. . . #Kidsfriendly #thingstodoindubai #kidsindubai #familyfriendly #dubailife #parenting #mumsindubai #motherhood #milestones #trendingnow #dubaiblogger #uaemums #dubaimommyblogger #dubaimums #babiesofdubai #babyfriendly #dubaiplaces #reminders #letsgrowweekend

Here are some Absolutely hilarious things I’ve heard / have been told about solid weaning: (it’s all in good fun , no hard feelings please). . . 🥬 The more you feed a baby , the more his stomach will grow hence the more he will grow. . 🍠 If your skips a meal , his stomach will shrink and he will stop eating 😳 - okay scientist 😳 🥩 You need to feed your baby sooner ( at 4 months) or he will refuse food and will turn fussy ! 🍕 Check his belly pooch , If it’s bloated , only then he is full! - Umm no....if he is bloated, he’ll probably have a stomach ache later and be uncomfortable for rest of the day. . 🥚 A fat baby is a healthy baby .... 😂 🌯 You need to start feeding him everything ( I’m talking chocolates and other junk) , only then he will grow up properly. - in that case ........ _______________ Have you been told or heard any other crazy things? 😝 . . #Kidsfriendly #thingstodoindubai #kidsindubai #familyfriendly #dubailife #parenting #mumsindubai #motherhood #milestones #trendingnow #dubaiblogger #uaemums #dubaimommyblogger #dubaimums #babiesofdubai #babyfriendly #dubaiplaces #weaningbaby
